Uploading game screenshots?

[Cloakedwand72]

How do I upload game screenshots to the forums? Any simple tutorials?

Most people use Imgur, you simply upload it to there, copy the link, paste it in your post, and the forum software should automatically embed it for you

If you have any problems with that, you can use Google Photos, although they won't embed and you'll have to paste the link

You can't directly upload images to the forum.

In short, upload it to an image hosting site (imgur is popular), then copy the link and paste it in the post. It should normally embed.

Also, @The_Cat_In_Space, you ninja'd me.

To elaborate on the above posts:
Any image hosting site will do, so long as they permit third-party embedding. There are certain of them which do not. When embedding an image, you want the link that includes a file extension, e.g. .jpg or .png. This is important—if your link doesn't have this, it points to a webpage, not an image! If the link does not automatically embed when you paste it, use the "Insert other media" dropdown at the bottom right of the post editor—this is good for images on sites with odd URLs that the forum parser doesn't pick up, but overall you should be just fine with the automatic mode. If you absolutely must be explicit about your image, I believe the legacy BBCode tags are still operational.
