Most forums operate on this system, if I remember correctly, it would be because it saves space. If an image doesn't need to be hosted by the forum they don't need to keep a server of every image uploaded, such as what they have to do with our avatars.

Yeah, hosting all those pictures could get expensive. Upload your picture to another website and then post the url.

Click the image on Google image results, then right-click the image and click Copy Image URL.

After that, paste it in

Code: Select all

[img]<the URL of your picture here>[/img]
For example, I'm right-clicking the One More Block logo image then Copy Image URL.

Paste it in code:

Code: Select all

[img]http://onemoreblock.com/1Oy.png[/img]
It will be shown as this:

Following up on Freak's comment.
If your posting a picture that isn't 100% related to the forum you can add spoilers.
