It took me a while (and some googling) to figure out the pictures. Mine are on flickr, and basically you have to get a flicker link that is a direct jpeg address. On flickr, if you click on a photo's share button, then on the BBCode option, you can choose photo size, and then get a line of code that (leaving aside the brackets and the actual addresses) reads something like

url=httpstuff img httpstuff /img /url

followed by url=httpstuff and photo title /url by url my flickr id /url on flickr

I copy and paste all that, then delete the second half of it, so I have the url img /img /url part, and voila, the photo appears.

That's how it works for flickr photos. I've also used photos from my blog, and in that case, I just insert the photo's specific address (I just click on the photo in the blog entry, then copy/paste the web address that the photo itself has) using img /img (plus appropriate brackets).

If you hit "reply with quote" to someone's post (with photos you like), you'll see in the quoted section how it works. The basic idea is that you need a stable web address ending in .jpg for your photo, either by it being hosted on flickr or similar, or on your own website, and you insert that with proper html, and then the image gets retrieved in the process of posting to the forum. And that is the workaround I have figured out for posting something larger than a thumbnail.
