How to Upload an Image
Image Must Be Online
To post images in the forum they must be hosted on a website and then properly formatted into your post. Images residing only on your computer can't be posted or uploaded to the forum unless they are put online. Popular sites which you can use to host your images are imgur (http://imgur.com/), Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/) and http://www.freeimagehosting.net/. If you have images on your computer and want to post them in the forum then use one of these websites to host the images. If the images you want to post are already online then there is no need to do this.
Get The Image's URL
When the image you wish to post in the forum is properly hosted on a website then you need to get the URL of the image. The URL of the image is the exact web address which the image can be found at. Don't mistake the URL of the website the image appears on for the URL of the image.
To get the URL of an image do this:
in Chrome: right-click on the image and select "Copy image URL"
in Firefox: right-click on the image and select "Copy Image Location"
in Internet Explorer: right-click on the image, select "Properties", highlight the Address field and press Ctrl+C
After this the image URL will be held in your computers clipboard. This is an example of an image URL:

Post The Image In Skyscrapercity
Now you are ready to put the image into your post. Use the IMG tag to do this. You can also click the http://www.skyscrapercity.com/images/editor/insertimage.gif button which is available above the text area when you write your post. Press Ctrl+V to paste the URL from the clipboard.
The image URL must be enclosed by the IMG tag like this:

Crediting the image
Flickr image
Beacuse of some issues with Flickr we are NOT allowed to hotlink images from their site. To solve this problem Flickr has provided BBcodes which can be found as the picture below shows. However if the owner of the picture doesn't allow BBcodes it doesn't mean that you are allowed to download the picture and upload it on an image hosting site, not without the approval of the owner anyway.

Even if it's your own picture it's important that you clarify that.
