Host the picture on http://imgur.com/ or anyone else then use the img tag around the image url:

How do I attach a file to a post?

To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments..
this is what it say to do in this forum if you read the [faq] so why cant i see attachments then

We do not allow attachments here. You need to have your picture hosted elsewhere and inline it with the IMG tag.

The FAQ is the boilerplate vBulletin FAQ. That section does not apply here as we have turned off attachments.

You could ask someone instead of bumping up multiple necro threads, and you definitely could use a better tone than the example here. Now to your question.

Some pic hosting sites don't play nice with our forum software, but you won't have any issues with tinypic (http://tinypic.com/). You simply cut and paste "IMG Code for forums" like this that is to your left after you upload a picture. After you write a post and insert an image, you can always click on the 'preview' button and make sure the image will appear. Example: (removed the IMG and /IMG at the front and back) so you can see what it will look like: http://i42.tinypic.com/e6f7s8.jpg
