So I've tried a few times from my phone and also from my
computer, but I haven't been able to post with pics sucessfully
thus far. I wad able to upload an avatar pic, but normal posting
ain't working. What gives?

Hey Seebee,
You're not the only one struggling with posting a photo on the
forum. Like most things, it's not hard once you know how. It's
even pretty quick, once you get the hang of it.
Here's what to do:
1. Upload your pics to an online photo storage site (such as
Picasa, Flickr, Photobucket, or Facebook).
2. Make sure you set your preferences on whatever site you
choose to allow anyone to view your photos (this setting is
usually hidden under some tab titled "privacy" or "sharing",
then...
2. Select the photo you want to show everyone, then RIGHT click
the photo itself. A list of options should come up, select
"Copy Image Address."
3. Go back to your post, figure where you want your picture to
be within your message and put the cursor there. Then paste the
image address into your message. It should look like this:
HTML https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VrvDeN2-AZ8/UvU8hzkYeGI/AAAAAAAAAto/ALq6G5kE_jI/w1151-h863-no/DSCN5860.JPG<br
/> (only, in your draft post, it won't be highlighted).
You're NOT done.
4. Select (highlight) the entire address you just pasted into
your message. Then press the "Mona Lisa" button in the task bar
(it's the one below the capital B). Now it should look like
this:

HTML https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VrvDeN2-AZ8/UvU8hzkYeGI/AAAAAAAAAto/ALq6G5kE_jI/w1151-h863-no/DSCN5860.JPG(/img)<br
/> -- This is a little different, it will be enclosed in bracket
s
rather than parentheses. Also, I added bolding for emphasis.
5. Now click preview and see if you can see your photo. If you
can, post your message and let us bask in it's glory!
TIP: If you want to include several photos in your message, it
helps to have two tabs open. The first tab will have your
message, the other tab will be open to your
Facebook/Picasa/Flickr/Photobucket page. That way, you can
click back and forth between them.
Another TIP: Using a site like Facebook is easy, but it doesn't
offer the option to upload full resolution photos (which are
larger and more awesome).
