For files you want to upload:
1 - start to post a reply as normal
2 - scroll down the page to where it says 'Options", and click 'Upload attachment'
3 - browse to your image file, click 'add file'
4 - when that is finished, a section called "posted attachments' will appear.
5 - click to wherever in your message you want the image to go, then click "Place Inline"
6 - You'll get some text that says {attachment=0}imagename.jpg{/attachment} (It will have square brackets, not curly ones). Cut and paste that to somewhere else in your message if you want.
Example:
220px-Rubber_Duck.jpg


For files on the web:
1 - Go to your image, right click and select "Copy image location"
2 - Click the 'Img" button above
3 - The cursor will be in the middle of two {img} tags. Paste your web address in the middle where the cursor is.
