To post an inline image, using BBCode, enclose the URL with Img tags.
As an example, I have an eclipse image at

is it not possible to simply put images in the gallery [accessed through the gallery button below]? I have posted an image of Jupiter there, which I can see. Can others also see it?
Is it better to follow the protocol you have described above, and does this mean that the images are only viewable when my pc is connected to the internet? Only problem is I don't currently have a website!

Yes, putting images in the gallery is fine, and they will be visible to all registered, logged-on users.
You can make them appear inline by using the same kind of code as you would for images stored anywhere else on the web, so your Jupiter image (of which I am slightly jealous, by the way) can be linked inline with the code

One or two people were asking about posting images on the forum, so I'm bumping this thread to the top again.

One key thing is that images in the forum Gallery tend to expire after a while, as it has limited capacity. If you put them on flickr, they're less likely to disappear.

Any questions - let me know.

Remember, the Gallery gets full in no time, so using it to post images often either doesn't work, or works at first then goes wrong later.

Put your images on Flickr or Photobucket, then link as shown above, and your images will work much better.
