It's a process that I have failed to master.  Luckily I have a cohab who is capable.  :thumbsup:

Easiest option is probably Imgur. https://imgur.com/
Upload your images there.
Then if you view the image, it gives you the BBCode, so you can copy that into your post.

Flickr is similar, upload images to your photo stream there, then view and as Fuaran says, copy the BB code. You then paste that into your post and use the preview button to check it’s what you want.

Though the last time I looked, the "copy BBCode" thing from Flickr doesn't work in the iOS version of Chrome.

Not that it really matters.  You just have to paste the URL of the image and wrap it in [img][/img] tags.  It's not rocket surgery.
