    It's easy enough, when you are making a post just click on the Upload a File button below the posting box your typing in. That will allow you to choose whatever picture you have on your computer that you want to post. Once done typing simply click on the Post Reply button and your post and picture will be posted.

    Welcome Jeff. Another way is to "click and drag" the photo to your new post window.
    Always try to post photos full image when you can. I post this for members and maybe it will help you.
    For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
