How do you insert a jpeg image to a reply here? It's asking for a URL but the jpeg is on my pc.

You need to upload it to a hosting site like Photobucket then you can use the URL with IMG tags.

upload a image to photobucket or something like that and then press the insert image button above where you type

Or Imgur, which will also give you the BB code for the pic: http://imgur.com/

Right-click on the image and select Copy image address. Don't use Google's sharing link.

If you want to link images from other sites on here, upload them to photobucket or something similar first, as hotlinking isn't allowed on here.

Good idea! There are quite a few

automating the process further .... can you automatically upload the image and recover the url to use in OC's ?

I usually edit/cut the image down to size ~1000 pixels wide using paint, but it is a pain&slow having to then log into photobucket
(even with adblocker) and do the upload, but maybe uploading manually is more secure
