Yo everyone,
I've read from others and experienced certain problems and issues myself regarding the inability to get a picture posted in a thread (whether using the forum's upload file method or using a photo hosting site and posting the code in text).
The easiest and free method to me has been using Imgur...you just have to make account with user name/password (for the last 10+ years, I previously used tinypic.com because it required no login, but it was recently shut down).
Uploading a photo(s) to Imgur is as easy as any other file select (and there is some minor photo editing you can do on the site if needed), but the best part is how easy it is to post and change the size of your pictures on forums.
1) Click on a picture that you have uploaded to your Imgur account that you want to post on a forum, and the menu shown below will open up
2) Go to the very bottom-right and select the Size of the thumbnail ** circled in green
3) Lastly, in the BBCode (message boards & forums) section circled in red and hit the blue Copy button...then go to your post/replay and you just need to Ctrl+V or right-click and hit paste in your text and it will automatically insert the needed coding
[COLOR="darkslategray"][I]**use the 'preview post' button on forum to see what the pic size will look like before posting...then if too big/too small, you just go back and click a new size and hit Copy button again and paste in the new text[/I][/COLOR][/COLOR]

Just posting in case this helps anybody out that has ran into frustrations with this topic.
