In a nut shell, log into the gallery, create an album, upload pics, link pics to forum post.

If all else fails, you can email them to me and I'll upload them for you.

Before the forum had its own photo gallery, you had to find another site to upload your photos, and then link to them from your forum posts. I still do this out of habit. Here's how:

I use Flickr.com. Upload the picture to Flickr. Then right click on it and Copy Link.

Come here. When making a post, in the third row down there is a row of gray buttons (bold, italics, underline, etc.) 11th button over is the insert picture link. When you click it, a couple of tags pop into the white box where you type in text.

Click between the tags and past the link from Flickr.

I use Google+ as well. I think the forum based gallery is a good idea because even if your pictures are removed from their host, they'll remain in the gallery. However, I still tend to use the old method.

If you click on the image link as specified above, you'll end up with something that looks like this: (img)(/img) except the parenthesis will be square brackets (you can't show it here because the server will just render the brackets as blanks). Insert your photo's link like this:

(img)http://www.urlToYourPhotos.jpg(/img) (using the square brackets instead of parenthesis), and the photos will upload when you submit your post.

The only caution is to make sure that your picture is NOT larger than the screen area that you are posting it in OR that the picture is not much larger than 500k or so. (Typical picture sizes are usually 100-200K) Resize your picture using any graphic editor and this will also resize the filesize. I typically use a 700x700 pixel size and it seems to work well.
