You want a Photobucket account.
Their interface is not perfect, but very easy to upload a photo, and then copy its URL to insert into your new topic.

John R did a tutorial on this some years back - maybe it's time he did it again.

It should be fine, but it must be a JPEG image and not too big. I use 1000 pixels wide and the forum changes this to fit, but it doesn't seem to noticeably degrade quality.
Could it be that your file size is too large?

I don't know why Peter, but it's usually something simple that's going wrong. 
I've just tried the process now and it seems fine. Perhaps use a different browser? The above image is 1000 pixels wide and less than 400K in size.

If it is a browser issue, I am using IE9 on Vista Home Premium (32 bit).
Is anybody using that software to successfully insert images?
'philstaff', what are you using?

Image size makes no difference. I upload original full size JPEG images stored on my PC hard drive and the upload process re-sizes them automatically to display in the Forum. Works every time for me, no problems.
It would be helpful to know the following from those having problems uploading images:
- Which PC Operating System are you using?
- Which Web Browser and version number are you using?
- Are you trying to upload an image stored on your hard drive, or are you trying to link to an image on a website?
- Do you get any error messages after clicking the 'insert image' button

See other topic 'post your favourite photo taken this year', I think Peter's problem is a combination of Windows Vista, IE9 and AdBlock Plus. Would suggest to anyone using IE9 to upgrade to IE11, or switch to Google Chrome for all internet browsing as IE9 is a very poor release, full of bugs and has a lot of known issues which can cause similar problems to those being described by Peter.

Hi peter
Sorry to see you are having problems inserting images
I use vista home premium 32 bit and IE7 it won't let me upgrade to IE9
So I put on chrome and that seems to solve it
