Hey, welcome.
You have to use an external site, Photobucket is good, and easy to use and its free. Once on you post there and it has a place that allows you to link them...its easier than it sounds.

Basically, you upload your pictures to a site that hosts them, Photobucket was mentioned, but there are also others. Some have different capabilities that you might see yourself using for other reasons than just posting here, so ask your friends.
Once you upload pictures, you need to learn how to find the "location" in which the individual picture is held. (Where to see it varies a bit with the different hosting sites) It takes the form of a URL with the http:\ and all that. You would highlight and copy the location with a series of mouse clicks. Then, once you are in the AGF and composing a post, look for the little icon at the top, sort of to the right, that looks like a picture of a mountain with a yellow sky... must have been just after an atomic war.... That's the entry way to posting a picture. Click on that and it will give you a window asking that you put in a few words to be the link to your picture and in another space it will ask that you paste the location of the picture, which you copied from the hosting site. Click OK and the picture should appear in your post. Don't worry, it takes MUCH longer to explain than it takes to do it. BTW - If you happen to choose Photobucket, the location of the full sized picture will be to the right of the picture, but it's the 2nd one in the list.

Don't forget to first search the FAQ's for topics such as this. Often you can answer your own question:
How to post a picture How do you insert a picture into your posts? The picture must be held on a website: you may not post an image directly from your computer. There are a number of websites where you may upload pictures for free such as photobucket and flickr. Locate the image (on the web) that you'd like to display in your post, right-click on it and select Properties from the menu. Copy the entire address (URL) of the image to your clipboard [Ctrl-C]. In your post, click on the Insert Image icon (The yellow box with the mountains). A prompt will appear asking you for the URL of the image. Paste the link you copied to your clipboard [Ctrl-V], then click OK. This will insert the image into your post. (Note: You wont see the image until you preview or submit your post.)
