There are numerous ways to upload an image so it can show up in your threads. One of which is using the AF Image Gallery and another is using a photo hosting site such as photobucket.

Member stevenoble has created a step by step (shown below) using photobucket.

Uploading Photos step by step using Photobucket.
To upload photos of your work go to www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com/) and open an account it's free.Once your account is open go to the photobucket homepage and click the album tab.

On the album page you will see a box in the top right corner where you upload your pictures.It looks like this.

You will see browse buttons on this page.Click each one and you can select the picture you want to upload from your computer.Do this on each browse button for each picture you want to upload.

You start with 3 browse buttons (3 pictures) If you want to upload more pictures click the 'Add More' button and more browse buttons will appear.

Now go to the forum page and open your thread.Then where you want the picture to appear in the thread simply paste it.Right click where you want it and hit paste.The Photobucket link will appear in the thread, just like below.

Repeat this as many times as necessary adding your pictures where you want them in your thread.It helps to have Automotive Forums and Photobucket both open at the same time on different tabs and then you can easily switch between one and the other to do the pasting of the photo links.Once you post your thread the Photobucket links will turn into pictures within the thread.

Here is the picture I copied and pasted earlier the McLaren wheel
