Inserting photos from files?

[Becky]

Hey everyone!  I want to create a thread that includes uploaded photos from my own computer files.  Is this a way to do this?  So far, I can only see ways to link to webpages (URLs) or link to Apps that I either don't have or don't want to out myself on.

I appreciate any help you folks can provide!  If it's important, I do everything from a Mac.

I was wondering the same thing! Didn't find a way to do it though. But if you want to you can create a google+ account and upload photos there (it's free up to 15G I think?) and copy the link address, that's the easiest way I could do it.

I've been told they can also be linked through IMGUR accounts, with the caveat that I need to see how much hidden information is attached to my photos through metadata. Apparently, there is sometimes ID and location information attached to photo files from good cameras and smart phones. I would love to show off my pretty femme face, but certainly don't want the photos hacked for information from outside.
