Into the original post, for example. If he is asking about what I have also been wondering for quite a while.

If I have played a hand I can generate a link to it and include it in my post with the editor tools, fine.
If I have a link to a picture somewhere on the internet, I can include it with the editor tools. (I believe I can, I never tested this).

But if, for example, I made a screen shot and I would like to upload it to BBO for display in one of my posts, I don't see how I could do it without uploading it somewhere outside BBO and then linking it. Is there an simpler way?

I don't think there's an easier way, if i recall correctly uploading files has been disabled for some tech reasons. Barmar might now exactly what works and what not, but as far as i know the simplest way is to upload to an external service like snag.gy or imgur.com and insert it using the insert image icon, which requires a URL to the photo. Also you can't link to gifs, it's got to be jpg or png

Snag.gy? Ingar.com? What are these and how does one use them?

EDIT: Tried imgur and still couldn't manage to do anything. I should be very griateful if someone would post the front page of the Berliner Kurier. Here is a link to it:

Yes, that is what I tried but... maybe it works differently on a tablet, where there is no right-click. Anyway I am going to copy your post if you don't mind.
