This is actually a three step process.
The first step is to create the image. I use the 'V' key in FSX to create a *.bmp file, and later convert it to a *.jpg file.
The second step is to upload the image file to Photobucket. Rick addressed how to upload.
The third step is to link the image on Photobucket to a post on the forums. Photobucket gives you a couple options. Here is what I do.
Once I upload my images I selected the Direct method and copy the path using Ctrl-C. For example a path looks like this without the quotes "http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a...1-38-38-944_modified_zps7391b18c.jpg~original"
I then return to the forum and Reply to a thread such as this one. In the menu options of the post I select Insert Image. There are two options, one is "select from URL". From there I paste the path using "Ctrl-V", and deselect "Retrieve remote...." Before selecting "Okay" I remove the text at the end [~original] so that the path ends in *.jpg.
This is the result.
Does that help??

When you go to upload pics, you can drag-n-drop with photobucket. Once you are done uploading,
go to your Library. Once there If you hover your mouse at the top right corner of your pic, you will see a
settings symbol. Click that, then click "Get Links", then click on the bottom IMG code. (its copied the url
to clipboard) Now come here and then paste the link into your post.

don't use photobucket...
use flickr.
it has a stupid ui BUT
since Yahoo bought flickr and overhauled the site, they gave each user free 1tb hosting with access to full resolution!
No other site offers something as good as that and your shots don't get compressed, they're uploaded 1:1, just like you saved it!
