If I click the "insert image" icon while I'm writing a post, that inserts "img" and "/img" in square brackets into the post... but that doesn't accomplish much - how do I actually get an image into a post?
First of all newbies are not allowed to post images but you can post images by upgrading your account to copper member. You can pay it so that you can do anything like a normal member even your just a newbie if you pay that one.

I think to post images you should get the direct link so that the image will appear.
