You need the image to be online somewhere. If you see an image on a website, right click it then click "Copy image address". Or if you want to post your own picture you can upload it to http://imgur.com (really simple and quick image hosting) and copy the image link from there.

Then on a question/answer, click the image button (6th from left), put the URL in the box and click OK. It will put a code like this:

![golbat][1] <-- where the image goes

...the rest of your post...

 [1]: http://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/red-blue/normal/golbat.png <-- the URL

And that gives something like this:

golbat

Remember, don't go putting tons of images in every post. It's just there to aid in questions and answers.

I was sooo close to doing that i though i was supposed to copy and paste it to thast area thinfg side window thingy?
you can't use imgur anymore because people in the UK can't see it. Also you can use a faster way:

![replace with name of image](replace with url of image)

that way, if you're only using one or two images, it's way easier. Also you can do this with regular links, but in that case, the text you put in the "name of the image" section actually matters, because that's the displayed text for a hyperlink.
