Giving this thread a bump and a summary.
There are 3 ways to get pictures in a thread on RS.
The first is to simply attach the pic to the post by going to the go advanced screen and manage attachments. This is very size limited I believe 50k though a mod can correct me if it is a different number.
Second you can load your pic into your gallery and link to it in the post. Go to photo gallery and upload photos to do this. There are still file size limits but these pics are in your gallery on RS and people can share your reef by browsing through various categories. I believe the limit is 1k for regular members and 3k for premium members.
Once the photo is in the gallery then you scroll down can copy the ubb code to your clipboard. Then go to your post and paste. The pic will appear in the thread.
The third way is to actually load the photo on a photo hosting website. Photobucket seems to be most used but there are many options. They all have their own limits etc. Once you have your photo loaded you should have access to the UBB code there. Again copy and paste into the thread. If you copy the html code you will display a link.

Hope this was helpful. I could be completely wrong on the size limits. The Premium Membership screen shows the limits for premium members.
