Easiest way: get a photo sharing app or site. Like Photobucket. There is an app. Then once you have saved the photo, you can go into the app and quickly get the html code of each photo and copy it and paste it into your post. On an ipad that is the fastest way. Html coding on a tablet is too much work.
I hate that FR has not been tech updated in so many years.

Even if you could directly upload to FR (a capability that prolly won’t happen), you’d still have to know a little HTML to get the image posted.
The img tag is one of the simplest and not hard to learn. The HTML Sandbox by ShadowAce can help you a lot. Check it out:

FReepmail me if you need help.

It would take lot of money to do what you want, and it could change the nature of FR. As much as I like the occasional Viking Kitty pic, I don't want all FR's bandwidth going to cute kittens and cat videos.
Tape the picture to your monitor and press enter.
Who is going to pay for all the storage space?
Don’t give up on the html, beebuster. If I can do it, you can, trust me. Just go to the sandbox links others have provided and practice.
If you use a browser like Pale Moon which supports Extensions, there are add-ons e.g. Copy HTML which allow you to “paint” part of an HTML page and then copy the code directly to customize your posts. You’ll probably find that you quickly glean the web syntax & begin to post shorter replies on your own without needing to use the app.
Come on get with the program...!

Because bandwidth can be expensive...
You can..but only if you double your monthly contribution..

Because maintaining a website like FR is expensive enough without storing hundreds of thousands of images. There are plenty of free image hosting sites like tinypic.com and imgur.com. Just upload the file to their site and link to it.
That would significantly increase the bit rate, bit volume, and storage requirements for the FR servers and likewise the cost and performance of operations. So as indicated by the other posts, the solution is to link images stored on 3rd party servers intended for image distribution.
Does anyone have any ideas on why my right click on my mouse doesn’t work on some FR pages?
Judging by the post date, you’ve managed to construct a computer, connect to the internet and post to a website 238 years before now. Surely you can learn a little HTML!
;)
That costs extra.
