There are two ways you can post an image.

From a URL:
1) Click the image button on the editor

This box will open

Paste the URL of the image there and hit the "Insert" button.
Alternatively to this method you can simply use the BBCode:

[IMG]http://www.domain.tld/path_of_image.png[/IMG]

From uploading an attachment:
Click the "Upload a File" Button at the bottom of the text editor

Your image will upload to our servers and will be delivered from our CDN.

When the image is uploaded, hit the "Full Image" button to have it be inserted to the post.


Like so:


You can select thumbnail instead if you are not wanting to display the full size. Attachments will also have a spot at the bottom of the post.

Edit:
The difference between posting from a URL and uploading it as an attachment is this:
From a URL, the image is being hosted from wherever you got that image from. If that image ever gets deleted off their servers, or they go down, the image will be gone from the post as well. If their servers are slow, it will slow down our site as our site will be trying to load the image off their server.

Uploading it as an attachment, as long as our servers are up, your photo will be displayed. As it is being uploaded directly to our servers. This uses up more of our disk space though however.

Well yesterday when I click the Image Icon at the top and then put the URL in I would only get a box in my post. I am using Postimage as my host. And I tried all the different links Post Image gives you in the URL Box and yet a square box is all I got.

As for the Upload Button at the bottom next to Post Reply I can click on that all day long and nothing happens.
