Take a picture with your phone and post it to a forum using Flickr...

This looks like a lot of steps, but it is rather quick. The only thing I cant find or figure out is a place to Copy the BBcode from the App (Like you could with Photobucket). The only place to get the BBcode is on your account on the flickr website. This is what I do from taking the picture with my phone to posting on a forum.

Download Flickr app to phone.
Take picture with phone camera.
Open Flickr App
Click the top right camera icon
Bottom left of screen is the gallery (thumbnail of the last picture you took and stored in your phones gallery is showing)
Open gallery, select the picture you want to upload and click the "done" in the top right
Picture opens full screen and gives you editing options, click "Next" in the top right
Next Screen, I then click "public" you will see in the middle of the screen
A drop down opens and I click "Private"
Then click "Upload" in top right of page
(Done with the App now)

Open Flickr webpage and sign in to your account
Top left of page, move mouse over "You" and click "Photostream" in drop down
You will see all your pictures on the screen
Click the picture you want to post
Picture opens full screenish
Below picture on the right side click the arrow icon, "Share"
window pops up and click the far right "BBCode"
You will see a link to copy in a window and a second drop down window
The second window in the size of picture you want to inset into the forum
I pick one of the "mediums"
Highlight the link in the top window and copy it
Come to forum and paste link
Preview post and you will see your picture showing and some other link stuff that was copied over
Erase the part of the link that you don't need to show people
And now your picture is posted on the forum
