We all have varying technical abilities, yet we want anyone who wants to post a thread be able to do so comfortably. We will cover how to upload an image to a 3rd party site, move an image say from a phone to your computer then either upload to a third party site or add as an attachment.
Steps
1) Looking at the forum one will see "Create Thread" button on the upper right hand side of the table with the various already created threads.

2) Click "Create Thread"
3) Type the "Subject" and the large text box is for writing whatever you wish in the thread.
4) In the thread on the same row as the "Subject" to the right we see "Add Poll" and "Add Attachment", if one wishes they can add an image as an attachment

a) If one wishes they can also "link" to an image off of another site.
Using imgBB.com one can upload by dragging and dropping the image onto the imgbb site, or by pressing " browse from your computer " which will open a file explorer window which allows a user to navigate to the image they wish to select then upload. Personally I always like to use "HTML Full Linked" in the small box displaying the full path to the image we will see something similar to :
<a href="https://ibb.co/fGFXPDg"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/h19gtY6/create-thread.png" alt="create-thread" border="0"></a>
The important part is " <img src="https://i.ibb.co/h19gtY6/create-thread.png" as this is a full link to the image not a thumbnail or anything but the full image. We can remove the "<img src= " and the quotes from the link.

Next on our toolbar when creating a thread the 7th icon to the left from the right most icon (next to an envelope with an arrow and between the film snap board) showing a landscape image is used to "Insert Image". After clicking on "Insert Image" a small window will pop up showing a small box titled "Insert Image" with a "Image URL and ALT Text" The link is where we would put our image.
After filling out the "Image URL" we press "Insert Image". Bang you just inserted an image in your thread.
But what if we got an image say on the phone or elsewhere? That's okay we can always move images over to a computer even if it means emailing the images to yourself then opening your email on the computer and saving them. If that is not possible then our USB charging cable is next we will transfer the file over, I have included the following links regarding how to do it on both Windows and OSX (Mac)

Edit: Attachments: Press the "attachments" button, you can add 3 attachments, simply navigate to the location of the image ; One may have to email or copy the image from the device (eg phone) to the computer and then attach the image(s).
