the image needs to be hosted on a website like photobucket, imgur, tinypic, etc. from there you can usually copy/paste or at the very least copy/paste the image tags, a link that has [img] [/img] wrapped around it.
you can also upload the images to your account here.
you cannot simply copy and paste from a pc or phone because the site doesn't have access to your phone as a live link to be able to display the images when you are not signed in and connected to the site.

I've had the same problem the few times that I tried to post pictures. Advice/tips would be welcomed.

There are many simple photo editing software options, and many are free. Perhaps, someone else can suggest an easy-to-use option, but, regardless of what you use, you want to end up with a re-sized picture that is between about 1000 and 1200 pixels wide.

I don't believe that that is entirely correct. If you do have pictures hosted on a photo sharing website or your own website you can probably use the method you described, but there is no need to do it that way. You can just use the method described by Jollick, and upload photos from a file on your computer. I've done so a number of times, and it is very simple to do.
actually it is entirely correct.. you can't copy and paste a picture to a thread, you can use the picture icon as you have pointed out (I never have), but that is uploading the image NOT copying and pasting it.
I host my pictures elsewhere so I can copy and paste them from that source to here, I cannot copy and paste from my PC to here or from a phone to here, when you do this is what you get in the coding:
[img ]File:///C:\Users\marce\Pictures\2010-01-19.jpg[ /img]
it's trying to grab the image from my computer, doesn't work.
when you copy from a hosted site the coding looks like this:
[IMG ]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a53/mjeds/Solar%20Eclipse/sun-h-alpha_zpsdd0461e2.jpg[ /img]
in the above I intentionally left an extra space in the IMG tags so you can see the coding, otherwise you get the image and not the coding.
using the insert/upload option allows the image to be uploaded from your device to the forum, like so.
I've been writing code for 25+ years, and I have been administrating forums for 15 years, not here but I own and admin a dozen forums for various other vehicle brands and electronics devices.

Using Firefox, links once clicked display for only a fraction of a second before disappearing. If you open in a new tab, they're fine. Is this a problem with the site, or with Firefox?

Go to advanced reply and you can manage down loads there meaning post picture directly. The big problem is how come all my phone pictures end up upside down or 90 degrees? They are just fine on the computer?? That is an issue that needs to be fixed, a method to rotate the photos by using the edit function.

I also have a Mac. Sometimes you have to do it slowly, one at a time, typing the bracket-IMG first, then the link, and then the bracket-/IMG at the end...you can't just *****-nilly stick the link in between the two brackets any more like you once could. I still have problems sometimes adding images to my auto reviews....that's why they don't all come up with the review itself, but have to be slowly added one by one after the text is uploaded.
