information is power matt. there are multiple ways to load a photograph on a forum.
for example, if you cannot upload the attachment str8 to the forum and you cannot link the image, you can upload your photo to a free photo upload website similar to this one
FlickCabin.com | Fast free image hosting!
upload your photo for free, without having to register, it will provide you a link. use the link to insert your image here or just post the link.
you should know all this already matt, considering you know how to operate expensive photo editing software already.
