Many forum users post pics by using a website known as IMGUR. It's a free site that you can upload pictures to, then copy the BBCode link and add that to your post.

Example: [ img]https://i.imgur.com/itWtzlU.jpg[/ img]

Hi,

Been wondering the same thing myself, it's not as straight forward as i had hoped or as i have done before on other forums BUT

i figured it out!

1. seems your image needs to be 130px by 200px (just a guess but worked for me)
2. open an account @ https://imgur.com/ (https://imgur.com/) its free
3. create an album and up load the image to it
4. now click on the image in your https://imgur.com/ (https://imgur.com/) account
5. the window in the previous post will open
6. click copy on the image link
7. hover over the icons above looks like a calendar opens up profile and click it
8. open forum profile information in the modify profile box to the left
9.  now click on the i have my own picture button the paste the cod from https://imgur.com (https://imgur.com) into the window which has HTTP:// already in it
10. you need to keep HTTP:// and delete or edit HTTPS:// so it reads HTTP://your (http://HTTP://your) image code here
11. scroll down and click the change profile button
12. click the change profile button a second time (that's what i had to do or my image disappeared)

example code from https://imgur.com (https://imgur.com)

I’m using an iPhone so I’m kinda limited to how I can edit a picture...
do u have any recommendations for free apps to use as an editor?
I have Snapseed but I can’t edit it diameters to 120px x 200px
