Upload images just for forum, not Trope Page/Work Page use?

I'm thinking of using some images in a forum post. These images pertain to my personal projects and not to any published works. The ones I'm thinking of now are fairly small — less than 5 kb. Is this acceptable, or should I upload them on flickr or something?

If you want to embed the images, you need to upload them here, but isn't it simpler to host them offsite and provide links, especially if it's a big gallery? We have a rule against multiple embeds per post anyway.

Also: How do you link images in this forum? I think I have done it previously but I totally forgot how to do it and I can't check back to my posts because I forgot how to check my own posts in this forum and I'm getting nuts %(

You cannot embed images that aren't hosted on TV Tropes. You can link to them like you would link to anything else, just don't post a naked URL.

http://image.url gives you "No hotlinked images, please."

[[http://image.url]] gives you [1]

[[http://image.url linky]] gives you linky

I want to post I currently have on my desktop into a forum post. How do I do that?

Has this changed recently? Because I can no longer find a separate "image uploader" tool, there's just a button on edit pages to upload an image for that page.
