How do I post images? Have to host them somewhere?

Yes. I use Dropbox. When you save the file in your dropbox, just r-click and choose Copy Dropbox Link.

When you paste the link in your post, change dl=0 to raw=1. This edit displays the image instead of downloading it. Then select the entire link and click the Insert Image button.

For other hosting services, you may not need to change the link or you may need to adjust the code differently. It depends on the service.

The nice thing about Dropbox is that you can move the file to another folder or even rename the folder, and Dropbox will maintain the original link to the file.

I had that same problem and searching this site is terrible. The search bar is useless.
Instead, better to google it like so:
site:lostmarble.com searchtermhere

That is how I found Greenlaw's answer on another post.
raw=1 did the trick for me.
Thanks D.R.
