how do I post photos in the forum?

Clicking the 'Mona Lisa' button gives you img tags, if your image is hosted elsewhere (Flickr, etc.), paste the URL between the bracketed tags. To upload an image from your computer to the CR forums, attach it to the post.

My personal favorite: Upload it forum-sized to your imageshack (or similar) account, it gives you the tag to copy/past to a forum.

Advantages are that you can post the same shot in several locations and you keep control over the shots you posted over the net as you can simply delete the bitbucket source image if wanted. Last not least, the "external" option has no limitations, you can use a small size as a preview to appear directly in the post, but put the full res in the link when the image is clicked.

I agree with Marsu42 that using a image host is preferred. Depending on your image host, the images will be better quality than uploading them to CR. The forum software does not do a great job of reducing image size, it also reduces quality, so strange things happen in some cases. Linking to your image host gets around that issue.
