Probably because your host doesn't allow image linking. Most free ones dont. Or you're trying to host it from your home computer. That doesn't work. You can usually get around blocked image linking by renaming the file *.txt and linking to the txt file.

how are you trying to post a pic? using the IMG tags? [img][/img]
or attaching it?
if your using the img tags. then make sure your picture is being hosted on a site such as www.photobucket.com or some other free host site. theres tons out there.
also make sure the file is the correct extension. jpeg, gif, png, bmp.
and if your using the img tags it should look like [img] http// www.youcantpostapic.com/ [/img] or along those lines. just needs to look like a web address. if it looks like [img]C:/mydocuments/iloseattheinternet[/img] then its not going to work.
