Howto deliver a drawing to members ...
FluxBB does not support delivery of images directly.
As an experiment, today I made a drawing on paper.
I used a smart phone to take a picture of the drawing (any device with a camera can do the same)
I then uploaded the image to imgur.com, which provides a BBCODE link after the image is accepted.
Finally, I added the BBCODE link to a post in the forum.
In my case, I used email to send the image from the smart phone to a desktop computer, and from there uploaded to imgur.com
My guess is that the same operation could be performed directly from a smart phone, but someone else can add a post about that if they would care to do so.

This post is about how to show images on the NewMars.com/forums site, using other sites to host the files:
Procedure to Link Images for Display on NewMars.com
There are several web sites that offer free hosting for images.
One of these is imgur.com. Another is: https://postimages.org/
The instructions in this document are for those who might prefer to use the phpBB3 site which was set up for testing during the FluxBB software upgrade, and remains available.
1) Request an account on the phpBB3 server.
You will use the same ID and password as the NewMars site.
2) Login and open a post for your new image
A topic is available: Images for FluxBB and use Post Reply
Note: You can add as many images to a post as you like
3) Select the Attachment tab
4) Drag and Drop a file or use the Add Files button
Either way, select [Place inline] to add the file to the post.
5) Submit the post
6) Right click on the image and select Copy Image Address
7) Paste that link into a post on NewMars.com/forums
