If this isn't step-by-step enough, let me know:
To insert an image into your post, you need to click on the Insert Image button above the white text field where you type. It looks like this: 
But, the image will have to be on the Internet first. Google "image hosting" to fine a place to upload images to the Web, or look in the FAQ in this section for a list of hosts. Then, copy and paste the direct link to the image into the box that comes up when you click on the Insert Image button (). It does not matter what size the image is, but common sense should be used as a guideline; no one wants to load a pic too big to see on their screen at once or so small you can't see it in detail.

Here's some brief instructions I created a while ago. Still valid and applies here.
If you wish to attach an image in a post by uploading to the LS1Tech vBulletin database*:
If you already have your image hosted online:
If you wish to attach an image in a post by uploading to the LS1Tech vBulletin database*:
- When you create a thread or are posting a reply to an existing thread, simply click on the Manage Attachments button that is located under the text box where you normally type your message. See Figure 1 below:
- Once you've clicked on the Manage Attachments button, you will see a new Manage Attachments window. Click on the Browse button to locate the file on your computer. When you have found it, click on the OK.
- Click on the Upload button
- Once you've uploaded your image, you should see the file listed under the "Current Attachments" heading. You can then close that 2nd browser window. The file names should appear under the "Attach Files" section. When you're finished with your message, click on the "Submit Reply" button. The image will be uploaded to the LS1Tech vBulletin database, along with your regular message. See figure below:
If you already have your image hosted online:
- Copy the URL of your image that you wish to post. Simply locate your image online, and then right-click on the image and select the "Properties" option, if using Internet Explorer. The URL is listed under the "Address (URL)" section. Highlight the address shown, then right-click and select "copy". The URL will now be copied to your Window's clipbodumdumdum for later use.
- When you create a thread or are posting a reply to an existing thread, click on the image icon (see Figure below), which is located just above where you normally type your reply message. When the prompt appears, delete the existing text http:// in the field, then right-click and and select the "Paste" option. The URL to your image should now be in that field.
Note: Make sure to only have 1 http:// in your URL.
- Click on the "OK" button.
You'll see the image's URL is then placed inside the [IMG][/IMG]tags.
