Many people seem to be having problems posting their pics and active links - this thread is typical:

The problem is that the 'prompts' are missing from the top of the posting screen(s). The old forums had the 'insert link' and 'insert pic' which produced the brackets and code words in the edit area so folk got used to them.
While the new RTF forums editor might be too daunting for some, a brief sentence at the top of the edit page, above the Body area, with the img and url construct spelled out might help the newcomers to figure it out. Something like
"To include an active link, use {url}..link text...{/url}
To include an image, use {img}..image URL/location...{/img}"
