You need to use a picture hosting site like imgur

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

No help here from the phone. I don't update, apps do, so I can't always get something I don't have.

From desktop.

Sign up for imgur account.

Upload photos. Suggest using auto resizing to 640x480.

Select photo.

Select from menu on right side the url for bulletin boards. Click.

Paste into report. Use preview to check if it came out ok. If you don't auto resize, huge thumbnail is a decent size to manually select. Do that first then select the bulletin board url.

Pretty sure you can't upload direct to site.
