AFAIK Google doesn't allow public photo sharing although there is a hack to do it, but that's not the question.
Techsmith has a free software program that used to be called Jing, but is now simply called "Capture", but it is pretty hidden on their website, so simply search for "Techsmith Jing" and the first result should be:
Open the site and download the program. Install the program and at the end of the installation it will ask you to sign in or create an account:
Create the free account and now you have a place to store photos on the web.
Now for the fun part, you can capture anything on your screen, upload it to your free account, and display it in the forum easily.
I have a photo in my Google photos of two ACE MHs side-by-side.
I display the photo on my screen.
Use the key combination SHIFT-F11 to open capture
Click the CAPTURE button to begin capturing your screen
Cross+Hairs will appear and you use your mouse to draw a square around what you want to capture. When you stop drawing a toolbar appears and you click the camera icon:
In this window you can add arrows, text, etc. When you are done, click the UPLOAD button at the bottom right.
Once your capture has uploaded, click the OPEN button:
IMPORTANT! DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
Once the picture PAGE has opened in your web browser, click on the picture to open JUST THE PICTURE in a new browser window.
In the new browser window copy the URL that ends in .PNG. This is the link to the picture.
Paste this link into the IMAGE prompt on the forum.
Back at CAPTURE you can CLOSE the UPLOAD COMPLETE dialog box.
All images in this post were done with this program.
