You could use an image hosting site like GP suggests. Alternatively, above the editor where you type your post there’s a row of icons, third one from the right is a little picture of a tree, that should let you upload one.

(By “one” I mean an image, not a tree)

the tree symbol just gives an option to "Add an Image from Url" but nothing about uploading one

i'll try imgur or something

There should be a "From Computer" option, there are two tabs.

Me neither - maybe it's an admin privilege?

I checked. It is something we could turn on but it's generally not good practice as it's a security risk.
Given that there are free image sharing sites out there people can use I think we can probably live with it as it is.

I use imgbb.com which is pretty good.
