You right click the image, copy image URL, and post that.

But I can't copy image URL for a picture in my library :(

Do I really have to upload it to some silly imgur site?

You have to upload it somewhere.

I use snag.gy. It's much quicker to upload a screenshot or image file, and there's no signing up.

If the image is hosted on imgur, the boards will automatically bring in a preview. I'm pretty sure they do this with some other hosting sites as well, just not sure on the full list. Like for this, I just pasted the imgur image url: http://i.imgur.com/lYPV8uO.jpg

Ok, but what about a non-imgur/image site image?

They don't have a means of a direct upload to their site with these boards. From your other post above, it looks like that's what you're trying to do (it's a pic on your computer). Just upload it to imgur and link it. You don't even have to have an account on imgur to upload to it.

It helps keep things small. It uses up a lot of resources for Riot to let users upload images to their servers (both storage space for Riot and also loading time for users). It's a lot more efficient to use the link as a reference and pull the image preview over from another site.
