Basically.......the forum hasn't got access to pictures on your computer...SO... you have to 'host' any images on an outside server.
Dropbox & Photo bucket are FREE hosting websites.
All you need to do is log onto one of these sites, go through a register process (as I said, its free), then 'upload' your images following their instructions....your pictures are now hosted on their website and ready for you to 'link to'

Once the images are 'uploaded' you open the picture on their site and 'left click' on the IMG file (bottom of the four boxes to the right of the picture)
Then minimize the page...right click on 80-90 'open reply' right click, paste onto the reply box you have opened on our forum.

Carry on with writing above or below the link (you have just pasted)

Then 'submit'
When the page refreshes, the image will appear.

What phone?
If you hold your finger on the text it should ask if you want to copy it
