Upload the images to a image hosting site such as Photobucket, then copy the link and post it in a thread.

Example:

Code:
[IMG]http://image_file.png[/IMG]

And if the image is huge, place it in spoiler tags.

Example:

Code:
[spoiler]

[IMG]http://image_file.png[/IMG]

[/spoiler]

or you can just paste the link.

Example:

Code:
http://image_file.png

In addition, you can use the "Insert image" button at the top of the textbox so you don't have to type the tags in yourself.

Videos can be added by pasting the video's URL in video tags. The tag you use depends on the video hoster, for example YouTube would use:

Code:
[video=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video_code[/video]

Whereas Vimeo would use:

Code:
[video=vimeo]http://vimeo.com/video_code[/video]

Also, instead of typing it in, you can use the [Image: television.gif]

button at the top of the textbox to make the tags for you.
