Seeing as uploading and sharing images isn't always a known thing I thought I'd do a mini tutorial on it.
Finally, I've added screen shots
I'll recommend one site mainly because I use it but you could do it with almost any image hosting site as long as they have the IMG code (bbcode).
Photobucket is one.
After you've created a photobucket account you'll want to upload a picture.
Go to your album.
At the top it will have a box with the words "Upload to: >name of your album<" at the top, use that to upload by selecting the browse button and then the picture on your computer
After you've uploaded your picture, underneath it will have an assortment of codes. Find the one you want (IMG for forums), select it which should highlight it, right click and then select copy.
On the forum when you've started a new post right click in the typing window and select paste. The code should end up looking like this
I recommend previewing your post before submitting it to not only see if the image worked but to check the size. If by chance your image is huge (which does happen) you can always resize it.
Go back to photobucket and select the image you wanted to post. In the top left hand corner it will have a tab that says resize with a little arrow next to it. Select the arrow and a drop down menu will appear. I recommend selecting the Message Board size. If the resizes don't have that then chances are your picture is just the right size so no need to worry!
After that copy the code again and re paste it.
