When you log into the Lodestone page with your Square Enix account, you will be able to upload pictures to your Lodestone Gallery. That's what i usually do.

At the top left of the Lodestone page, there's a Login button. When you click on it and log with your Square Enix account, you will then navigate to you personal Lodestone page:



At the top right, you will find a "Account Settings"-menu item. If you click on that, a little menu will appear with a File Management option. Click on that to go to your Gallery:



There you can click on one of the the "Upload"-buttons. It will present you with a little dialog where you either browse for pictures or place then into a "Drag & Drop" box. Once you've selected / dropped the desired image(s), click on Upload to upload the picture to your gallery:



When the dialog has finished uploading the picture(s) to the gallery, close the dialog with the red cross, located at the top right.

The Gallery will update the list of pictures and when you click on the image (in the "list of images" below the Upload buttons), you will get a preview of the picture:



Right click on the image and you can select the "Copy Image URL" option (if you use Chrome as your browser) or select the "Open in a new window/tab". If you've selected the 2nd option, copy the URL at the top of the browser and use that URL when you add an image to the post (i would advice you to use the "Advance" editor on the forum for that). (^_^ )

And there you have it.
