Method #1

This will show how to insert a picture in your post using the "insert image" and a image url.
(I use this method mostly, because using the attachments option has a size limit)

First upload your image to a image hosting service (there are several free one's like http://postimages.org/).

once uploaded copy the "Direct link" of the image location. It will look something like this:
http://s5.postimg.org/m9qqmnxc7/insertimageicon1.jpg

Now when you go to make your post, in the editing window find the "Insert Image" icon and click on it.
http://s5.postimg.cc/m9qqmnxc7/insertimageicon1.jpg

this will open the "insert image" dialog
http://s5.postimg.cc/600kjrmo7/insertimageicon2.jpg
Click on the "from url" tab
Then paste the direct lick you copied in the url box
uncheck the "retrieve" box
If everything looks ok, then click ok.

A link similar to this will appear in your post, where ever you had the insert cursor in your post.
http://s5.postimg.org/m9qqmnxc7/insertimageicon1.jpg

now when you post your message, the picture will appear in your post.

Faster method:

Just type the image tags paste picture url here inbetween these tags
