you should see an 'Attach' button when you are making a post. Click that, pick the picture you want to add and upload

or if it's a pic from a website just copy the location and click on the "insert image" icon in the tool bar and then paste the url.

Also, if you are trying to embed a picture from a random spot on a website things can be a little tricky. The text following the picture below, will show you how to post a picture like the one below if you are having a hard time with it.

If you cannot click on a pic and go to a blank page with only that picture, try right clicking on the photo. The picture below shows you an example. Disregard the option to view photo, as this would not be present if you could not left click the picture to view it by itself. I have highlighted Copy Image Location. Left click Copy Image location. This saves the picture's interweb location. Then all you have to do is come back to the thread that you would like to post in, go to the reply section and find the insert image button (it's right above where you type and is yellow with a gray mountain and sun). Click that and it will ask you to enter the URL. Simply right click in the text box, and select "Paste" (or simply press "Control+V" to do the same thing a fraction of a second faster). Press OK, and then preview your post so you know it looks how you want it to.

Also, another option in the picture below is Save Image As... A lot of pictures are copyright protected and will not give you this option, but if you see this you can save the image (download it) on your PC and the upload it by selecting the Attachments button (looks like a paperclip) on the "Go Advanced" message screen. Click browse, find your saved file, then click upload. Once again, click preview post to make sure your message looks how you want it to.

This is the picture I was referencing above talking about "Right Clicking":

AND...If you are trying to post a pic from Twitter, Instagram or a handful of other sites it gets even many much more trickier. Seriously. So here is how you get this pic of Todd Kelly Jr that you see below:

When you see a picture that you would like to share with VN right click on it. Since these sites are tricky, you will not see the option to "save image as" or "copy image location". You will have one of two options show up in the drop down box: either "Properties" or "View Page Info". If properties is available, click it and the box that opens up will provide you with the Image URL you need to put into the VN "Insert Image" button. If you can only find "View Page Info" select it, and refer to the picture at the end of this post for a reference to the following steps.

"View Page Info" is selected and a new box opens. At the top of this new box, make sure you select the "Media" tab as the "General" tab will always be initially selected. In "Media" the first thing you will see is a drop down box with addresses to everything that is on the page you are at. There may be a few items, or there can be a ton based on how much information is on the current page. You can sort this box by left clicking on the word "Type" at the top of the drop down box. The "Type" of file you are looking for is an "image". Now simply left click each of the image files until you see the picture that you want at the bottom in the preview box. Once you have your file, Right click on that address and then left click on "Copy". This too gives you the URL address that you need to plug into the VN "Insert Image" button. Press OK and, as always, preview your post to make sure it looks the way you want. Happy Embedding!

I just thought that any one as persistent after so many failures in a row might be a Cub fan.

Jk of course.

how do you get a profile picture for like when you post right under your name?

Go to UserCP and "edit avatar". You can upload a pic from your computer or if you have a url you can go that route.

Or, if you can post it here, I can do it for you.
