How To Post Photos - 2018
If you're wanting to share photos, you'll probably want to make an account on imgur. On the very top right of the main homepage (imgur.com/), click on "sign up".
On this page, enter a user name made up of letters and numbers only-- no spaces or special characters. As you can see, it will tell you if that exact user name is already in use. Enter a valid email address, and pick a password. When you're done, click "Next".
On the next page, click the box to prove you're not a spambot, then click "Register".
Ta-da! Congrats, you're an imgurian!
To upload an image, hover over your user name in the top right, and click "images" in the menu that appears.
From here, it tells you exactly how to upload an image.
I hope you can manage that step on your own, because I'm skipping it.
Once you've uploaded your photo, click on it.
You want the line for BBCode. Click Copy.
Paste that into a forum post, and you get this!
Since Photobucket no longer allows hotlinking, and Google Photos is a pain, your best bet is Imgur.

[edit by Markpd - another option is ImgBB, here's a guide by PipSqueak for setting it up on an Iphone (but ImgBB is not just for Iphones).
If you only want to post a link to a Google photo, you can't simply copy and paste from the address bar, you'll need to click on the photo > share icon (3 dots with 2 lines at the top right, left most icon) > create link > create link, then copy and paste that link here. The forum will automatically make it a hyperlink (clickable), or you can hyperlink a word of your choice].
