Easiest way (or at least a way) is to create an account at Photobucket, upload them there, and use the direct links to the pics in the posts here.

Just keep them to no more than 640 pixels wide for direct links.

Another way (if you didn't want to get involved with photobucket or another online thing)..
(also depending on which email you're using, what format the pics are in, your level of competency, etc etc etc)
Try this:
-right click on the pic itself (or open it)
-'save as' whatever you want to name the pic so you'll remember, and make sure to save it to a place where you'll remember where it is

When you want to post a pic within a post:
-go to 'post new thread' (or whatever you're doing)
-click on the 'attachments' icon (paperclip up at the top)
-a box will open up
-you can upload up to 5 files from your computer at a time
-choose the pic you want by clicking 'browse' until you find it (you can see the file extension type and the size of your pic if you have your menu viewed in 'details' as opposed to just icons)
-click on 'upload'

-you will notice there is a 'max file size' for each type of file extension (19.5KB / max width620px x max height280px), so your pic needs to be sized no more than that; if your pic is more than that, you need to go into your picture editor (just use MS picture viewer if you don't have one?) and resize it (the prog will show you what size it is) and save to a smaller size (make sure you save it to somewhere you'll remember again or overwrite your original) and then try uploading.
