This isnt any kind of complaint or issue, and i know ive already posted under this category thingy so i apologize if im annoying but i just dont understand what to do on a forum? How do you post a picture here outside of albums and is a post like an instagram post or is it only a comment?

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. Since I'm familiar with Facebook, I'll use that as an example:

Facebook status: Think of this as a thread. A thread is a sequence of responses to an initial message posting. So in this instance, your thread would be the status.
Facebook comments: Think of these as individual posts that add to the topic of the main thread. Comments can be pictures, your personal thoughts, etc. In the terms of internet forums, these would be called posts.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

The best thing to do is upload them to an image hosting site. The most popular one is Imgur. Once you upload it, hover over your uploaded image and click "get share links." The string under BBCode (Forums) is the one you want. If you have the link for an image already, using this button, a pop-up should appear asking for the url or the link to your image and click ok. It should give you something like this: [img]https://i.imgur.com/LaubvNe.png[/img]

Its ok. It doesnt matter. Somethings wrong with it because it just takes a screenshot or something. Thank you for everything else though!

The links lead to a screenshot to show you what you what button you should be pressing to get your desired result.
