The easiest way is to register with Photobucket then you upload a picture use the url copy and paste the url on your post.

Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

Go down to where it says "Manage Attachments" in the "Additional options" section, and the click the "browse"

I did this recently on 300hz horn thread; I just scrubbed the URL text in box and replaced it w/ descriptive text

Test: This Article

In the case of the link above, and Licorne's photobucket link, the description is shown b/c it is d/l from the site itself.
This is a facet of settings within the 'Miscellaneous Options' section, when...
Automatically parse links in text
and
Automatically retrieve titles from external links
...are engaged.

I will post a follow-up with these subsequently disengaged, and you will see the nessecary formatting (we hope).

it didn't work, so posting an attachment picture of the required formatting instead.

ironically, the attachment file size limitation makes it a bit hard to read. hah! Can't win tonight.
