How to post photos on the TCI forum 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
There are two ways to post a photo in the forum:

1. Attach a photo using the built-in image attach function

2. Place a photo in your message that is hosted somewhere else

1. Attach a photo
This method uses the built-in image attach function. You can only attach one photo per message in a thread.

1a. To attach a photo first start a new post

1b. Below the "Message" window you'll see "Select Image File to Attach"

1c. Click on the "browse" button to the right of "Select Image File to Attach", navigate to the location of your photo on your computer.

1d. The photo must be less than 480x640 in pixel dimensions and less than 200kb in size

1e. Click on the [img] button to the the right of the "Browse" button

1f. The photo is now in your message but you can't see it or preview it.

1g. Click "Submit" to post your message

1h. Now you can see your photo in your post. You can click on the "Edit" button to go back and modify the text in your message but you cannot add another photo.

1h. If you want to add a second photo reply to your original post and go through the above process

2. Place a photo in your message that is hosted somewhere else
This method allows you to use any size or dimension photo and include as many photos as you want in the post.

2a. Sign up for a free account at flickr.com or a similar photo hosting service

2b. Upload your photos to your Flickr account using their uploading tool

2c. View the photo on your Flickr page

2d. Click on the "All sizes" button above the photo

2e. Click on the "Medium" size button

2f. Below the photo you'll see 2. Grab the photo's URL:

2g. Select the photo URL text in the box below and copy it

2h. Got to the TCI forum and create a new post

2i. Click the "Img" button above the "Message" window

2j. Paste the photo URL that you copied from your Flickr page after the [img size=150] tag

2k. Delete "Size=150" from the img tag

2l. Click "Preview" to see if the photo is displaying correctly

2m. If everything looks good click "Submit"

Apparently after Moss Intervention and guidance here is the photo!
I did something wrong originally because my Flickr photo did not came up as you posted.

Almost but not quite.

I repaired it. If you Reply with Quote to this message you'll see how I placed your photo URL between the "opening" and "closing" parts of the [img] tag. Also deleted "size=150" from inside the opening img tag.
