            You should be able to--the way I've always done it on other forums was to download my pics into Photobucket.com, then use the URL from there...
            
            I'm guessing it'd work the same way here?

               I was going to suggest Photobucket.com also.  You can upload your pics and if you use the "IMG" code, you can just copy and paste to here.  I think there is a way to make the pics private so that others cannot post them, but I'm not positive.
