Be aware that thieves and doxxers like Booby might steal the image.

If the image is on the Ozpolitic data base you can load it as per this one
with the insert image 3rd from top left and image brackets will be formed around it.
Select the link and click insert image.

Dear Socks.

Click reply -

but -

the file needs to be small -
less than 200K in size and less than 800 pixels in width unless
you put image tags around a larger picture from a link to another site.

You will need a photo editing program like "Paint" to reduce its size.

You will need a photo editing program like "Paint" to reduce its size.

Actually - open the photo - right click on it and find 'resize image' - look down to find the number of kb the image is - and if it's too large - I mostly click on 'percentage' and make a guess at what percentage will give you a usable picture. It will tell you at the bottom the old size in kb and the new size in kb, so you can change it if it's too small.
