I have copied the first post in this thread to this wiki so anyone can edit it.
************************************************** *******
A few people have asked in various threads, and I though that this might be a good opportunity to have some instructions for the various image hosting services out there on how to present their images on the TPF forum. I'm going to include the couple responses I've already drafted, but if people have info for ones I haven't included feel free to suggest the provider to me and/or write up the instructions.

If you're having trouble posting images and cannot seem to figure out why they aren't showing up in the post, make sure to check your profile settings. There is an option to display images or not, and that may be the source of the problems. To get to the setting, click on the My FlyerTalk link, then on the Edit Options link. On that page scroll down and make sure that the check box is selected next to the option "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)" and save the settings. Hopefully that will fix things.
Update:
Just wanted to add a welcome to folks who are coming over to this thread from some of the other fora that recently had photo embedding enabled. If you're having any problems or want to include details about a new hosting service please feel free to post in this thread and/or PM me.

Google's new photos interface doesn't let you access web albums the way the system used to.
But apparently the direct link to web albums is still work (at least for now).

Direct link to albums seems to still work: https://picasaweb.google.com/1176526...heDriveToVegas
So do direct links to image URLs.

You cannot use the short codes from Flickr. Go to that page, click the "Share" link (looks like an arrow pointing to the right) and click on the "BBCode" tab. Choose an appropriate file size and copy the code given.

This link would show me my albums, not yours.
Direct link to albums seems to still work: https://picasaweb.google.com/1176526...heDriveToVegas
So do direct links to image URLs.

Can anyone help me here? I am trying to post this photo http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery..._3752sm?full=1 which is in this gallyery: http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery/Kyoto by putting it in between [IMG] and [/IMG] but nothing shows up.
There is an explanation (quite old) here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/8597310-post13.html but not sure if this is still relevant and correct.

Right-click on the image and choose "Copy Image URL" or something comparable that your browser shows. Use that URL between the IMG tags. In this case [IMG]http://gallery.flyertalk.com/gallery/albums/Kyoto/IMG_3752sm.jpg[/IMG] yields this:
