Click on "Attachments and other options" directly under the text editing box where you type your post.

Then click on the "Browse..." button to select an image to upload from your local HDD.

Check out a BYOAC-specific step-by-step tutorial here.   ;D

I've never had imgur delete a picture I've uploaded and I've used imgur for a few years now.

Mind you, I have an account with them...maybe they keep anonymous uploads for X amount of time then purge them.

That may be true but people browsing from behind work proxies probably never see your images.  Most decent work proxies block raw image hosts like imgur.  All we get are threads with "image not found" logos all over them.

For the record, I can't see Lilshawn's footer image and I'm not on a work network.

I've gotten in the habit of using the forum's image functions.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.   ;D

If you don't host pictures here and you're a good builder, I secretly hope that you stub your toe every morning.
