I have searched all over Verizon's websites and can't find out how to do it.
At Comcast, there was a utility to upload and store files. Once uploaded, you could link to it (it was something like http://comcast.net/users/myusername/myfolder/picturename.jpg)
Can someone tell me how to do this or point to wherever Verizon has instruction?
Thanks
There are at least two ways to include pictures in a post. Here is what I see when I am ready to make a post:
1) Save the picture to some non-Verizon site and then link to it. Use the Insert/edit link icon pointed to by the left-most arrow.
2) Insert the picture directly. Use the Insert/edit image icon pointed to by the right-most arrow.
3) There is also an Attachment option below the post window. I know that you can use PDFs, Word or Excel documents, etc. as attachments, you might be able to use that for pictures also, I haven't tried that.
Do you see not those icons? The reason I ask, I am not sure of Verizon's current restrictions for new users (if any). I think that, as a new member, you may not be allowed to post any pictures at all. Once you have been here for a while then you will be allowed to post pictures using #2, but they must first be approved by a Moderator; you upload the picture, but then only you can see it until it has been approved.
I'm sorry, not sure this will help, I have been here so long that I am allowed to post pictures so I can't really test as if I was a new user. But very definitely pictures and other graphics can be posted here, it just may depend on how long you have been here, how much you have participated. Hopefully someone else will know the specifics.

What I am trying to do is 1) upload a jpg file that will be stored on Verizon, 2) link this picture to one of my posts on a NON-Verizon message board.
Yes you should have......Sorry but I clearly did not understand what you wanted to do.
I have just done what (I think) you want to do. However, I don't know for sure you can do it, as I may have some extra privileges, I don't know. But here is the procedure I used:
1) Log into the Forums
2) Click on your user name to go to your profile.
3) Near the lower left part of the page you should find an area for "Images for username" and below that a link to "View images for username".
4) Click that link, then click on the Add Images button that appears, and add your image(s) to the site.
5) Once you have uploaded your image(s), click on the specific thumbnail image you wish to link to so you see it full size.
6) Right click on the full size image and select on Copy Image Location.
7) Now go to the site you want to link from and paste the link into your page, and set it as a link.
😎 Test.
I successfully did the above, I think I got the steps right. I hope it will work for you. Let me know if you have problems.
