Right-click the image, and select "copy image" then paste it into your post.  It'll be auto-formatted properly.

Direct links from sites like imgur are the best way historically, but you could try uploading your content onto a site like imageshack or something similar and using a direct link from there.

It should work as it always has. Using [ img ] url address [ /img ] still works when I used it the other day for an image I posted to the forums..

k i just tested and it works, i probs screwed the code up last time i tried, thanks

Imgur is still the best bet. Are you sure you aren't doing something wrong when placing the links into the typing area? Because something seems fishy. Maybe its best if you paste the link to the direct file itself and then type the around it afterwards? Wthout any spaces within the brackets of course.
