The search bar up there is incredibly useful when you don't know the answer to something.

I just found this out:
first you need to set up a flickr account. (flickr.com)
then upload your pics to that. Click on the pic after it is uploaded
at the top left there should be an 'actions' option. from there click on 'view all sizes'
choose your size and right click
when right clicked, go to the 'copy image address' option
after it's copied, go back to BiM
when you want to add it (wherever you want in the text box you are in) use this:
[img](image url)[/img]
obviously you put the url you copied where i wrote '(image url)'
hope i helped 
Pritchard - people talk about there being a search bar, but I never seem to be able to find one for the forums...only for films. Where could I find one for the forums (or is it the same?)
It's in between "Rules" and "Profiles" on that little bar of links right under the logo "Bricks in Motion." Guess who is too lazy to go take a screenshot? 
END, 99% of forums have a search bar, generally at the top of the page, and sometimes cleverly disguised as a simple link in the form of the word "Search."
In the rare event that a forum doesn't have a search bar, you can cheat using Google. Type in your search word or phrase, then type "site:Bricksinmotion.com" or whatever the forum's web address is. This limits the search to just the one site.
In case you still can't find the search button here, there's a sweet trick for finding text on a page.
(Disclaimer, I know this works on PCs, but have no experience with Mac internet browsers.)
Hit "Ctrl" and "F", doing so will bring up a small box at the top of your browser, in the box, type the word or phase that you're looking for. In this case, type "Search" and cycle to result 1 of 3, or the one at the very top of the page. The text should be highlighted to help in attracting your attention. Clicking the highlighted word will open the BiM search box. Should you wish to do a more specific search, hit "Perform new search" this will take you to the advanced search page.
Is the above helpful?
And yes, I'm in my tired troublemaker mode right now, sorry. 
I had no idea there was a button for that...
On Mac just press "command" and "f" to do a text search on this page. If you search "search" in the "command" and "f" search you can find the forum search bar
