I'm C&P this from the board that shall not be named, so if it
looks familiar you're not hallucinating. I'm trying to err on
the side of giving too many details, so apologies for the
million steps (and if something's not clear, I'll happily try to
explain.).
Step 1: Go to Google and select sign in in the top right hand
corner.

Step 2: Either log in to your account or create a new one.
HTML https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvTJnf21dI/AAAAAAAAAqg/jPcWe3eDOhY/s640/google2.jpg
Step 3: Once you're logged in, look at the top menu and click on
'more' then select 'even more' at the bottom of the drop down
menu.

Step 4: Your page should look something like the one below.
Click on Picasa.
HTML https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvTKgn3X1I/AAAAAAAAAqw/WEtoZH72kkw/s640/google4.jpg
Step 5: This now opens Picasa. You can download it on your
computer and have a play. However, that's not relevant to this
tutorial, so click on Picasa Web Albums.

Step 6: You'll now be in your albums home. Click upload.
HTML https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvTKiEm_bI/AAAAAAAAAq0/bVqK5H7Sr1w/s640/google6.jpg
Step 7: A wild pop up appears ;D! Name your album whatever you
want and click continue (or alternatively select one of your
existing albums by clicking 'choose an existing album').
HTML https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvTLTZv0iI/AAAAAAAAArA/1ZNYrOUgMAM/s640/google7.jpg
Step 8: Your page will look like this. Click 'choose photos to
upload'.
HTML https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvTLCfSJLI/AAAAAAAAAq4/WlB6ww1rWo0/s640/google8.jpg
Step 9: This will open a window with your computer's picture
folder. Either select pictures from there or navigate somewhere
else. You can choose one or more pictures. Click open.
HTML https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvTLUdulYI/AAAAAAAAAq8/_sYOZ1iXi8A/s640/google9.jpg
Step 10: Wait until the pictures are uploaded, then click 'ok'
(or upload more if you want ;D).
HTML https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvTLpFwWDI/AAAAAAAAArE/_NeaK3f6zfQ/s640/google10.jpg
Step 11: After you click ok, your album will appear on screen.
Click on the picture you want to upload (I forgot to screenshot
that step). Look on the right bar and click on 'Link to this
photo'. This will bring more options. Select the size you want
(400 or 640 works best for forums), tick the 'image only(no
link)' checkbox and copy the link in the box that says 'Embed
image'.
HTML https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_qNTCklnVmBo/TdvYyQWiydI/AAAAAAAAArk/7g_-4hJUiWo/s640/google11.jpg
Step 12: Come back to here, start a new thread or reply to an
old one. To post the picture, your code should look like this [
img ] your link here [ /img ], only without the spaces. If you
click on the Insert Image button, it adds the tags only leaving
you with having to paste the link.
Step 13. Click post ;).
Done ;D.
