1. www.imgur.com
2. Upload image from computer (button on the top right)
3. Select image, and 'open'.
4. Window will pop up. Click 'start upload' button.
Wait....
5. New screen. Shows picture, and a bunch of links on the right of it.
You can choose different sizes for your photo to link. At the bottom of the links you'll see a little menu that says
Sizes: Original - Small Square - Large Thumbnail - More.
Large thumbnail usually is good enough for sizing and is the size I posted below.
6. Find the one that says 'BBCode'. Should look something like this: [IMG ]http://i.imgur.com/kVSJ2eO.jpg[ /IMG]
7. Copy + paste into your post.

Yep... Photobucket sucks. Slow and archaic.

I'll add that you can upload stuff on imgur without an account, but if you so sign up (free) you can access everything on an ongoing basis rather than uploading again.
