No account needed. But if you want to open an account you can and your photos will be stored just like PhotoBucket etc. I suggest no account as I just use this to post quick photos in forums. I do not use it for storage.
Save the pic to your desktop. Any pic from web, camera etc doesn't matter.
Use the 'choose file' and locate the pic you want to insert in the forum.
You can use the 'default' pic size or make it larger or smaller your choice.
Hit the upload button.
Sometimes you will be asked a small security question or asked to type in a phrase or watch a small video just to verify your not a spammer.
For forums you want the image code. Copy the 'IMG' code and paste it in your forum thread and your done.
It sounds quite complicated but after you do it once it is very simple.
