There, or something like Photobucket.

It kinda sucks getting    an account set up wherever you choose, but after the initial hassle it isn't too bad.

so there is no way to just upload them from my camera right to this site?

You can download them from your camera to your computer and then attach them four at a time to a post using the attachment feature.  Restrictions: 4 per post, maximum total size 1000KB, maximum individual size 500KB.  If they are larger than that you should downsize them before uploading them.  If you have more than 4 just add more posts to your thread.

I just use Photobucket to add a few here and there but just tried out this feature and it works, uploaded from documents file in test section:

I'm assuming you are on a home PC (not a smart phone or anything)? If so, bear with me since I'm on my phone and working from memory.

There should be some kind of option near the picture that says "Share picture". Look for something called the IMG code (it will look more like a website address with all the computer jargon). Copy the IMG code from Photobucket and paste it here.
