[EN] How to insert IMAGES inside Posts / Threads

[onepiece]

I'm having a hard time learning exactly how to insert an image in a post....like this post.

Apparently, I can't upload and insert an image from my hard drive to a post like this?  Appreciate someone giving me a link to the step by step actions needed.   
Have looked through THIS resource without success:

I'd like to NOT have an account at imgur or like businesses to decrease my exposure/attack area.

Thank you in advance for putting me in touch with help.

You don't need to have an account with an image hosting service.

In principle, any image hosting service is suitable. Of course, you should choose one based on your personal preferences!

Using Postimages as an example (set your language):
1. Select the image you want to publish and upload it.


2. Select the thumbnail for publication in forums (this is done to avoid overloading the forum server, which is also a matter of forum rules). Copy the link into your forum post.

3. Check that everything looks right with the ‘Preview your thread’ function. Done.
