What I have done:
Send photo from phone (what I use) to my PC in an e-mail.
Download from e-mail into picture library of PC.
In HDForum, go to userCP, it's at the upper left of the forum tool bar at top of page.
In my garage you can upload the pic from your PC picture library. Then open the pic by clicking on it. under the pic you will see 2 options. right click the lower option so it is highlighted, copy it, then paste it in the box you type your posts in.
That is how I do it. Probably an easier way though.

There are plenty of good threads on how to post pics, but I thought I'd make a quick and dirty one on photobucket photos.
You can create a free account on photobucket to host your pics. (if you go over your limit, or want more features, they will sell you more space, but if not, it's free)

Once you upload the pictures, they give you the code that you need to copy and paste into ANY forum that uses BBCode (like this one) and you can show your pics.
When a picture is hosted on photobucket, it goes into albums. By default, you have one, but you can make more. When you look in your album, you will see small thumbnail pics like this ..
If you choose you can click your mouse over the picture, you'll see a larger version of the picture with 4 boxes under the pic. They have code to link to your pic. Depending on where you want to show the pics on, you will need to select the appropriate code. For this forum, select the bottom code. They list it as IMG code.
When you click on the code, it should return a message saying that it is copied. This means it is on your clipboard. You'll paste it into your post later.
If that doesn't work for you, you can always highlight the code and copy by right clicking and selecting 'copy'. from the main page highlighted in green
Return to the forum and in the area where you are entering your post, paste the code you just put on your clipboard, by right clicking and select paste or
hold CTRL and press V to paste it
It's that easy... There are also lots of forum members that are willing to help if your stuck ...
