In addition to Imageshack, you might look into imgbb.
That's the picture hosting service I have gone to, and used for all of my recent posts. I am still using their free account level (no need yet to go premium). It's pretty easy to work with, once you have the pic as you would like it to be seen.*
You can just drag-and-drop your photos from your file folders into their website to upload them, and then choose "BBCode full" from the embedded codes to get the link you paste into your forum posting.
You don't even need to learn how to add the [img] stuff. They add it for you.

*That is, use any image processing software you may have first, then upload the results to imgbb so it can appear in your posts here.
I do recommend that you scale your images to be 1280 or even 1024 in width first, before you upload them to whatever hosting site you choose. Larger pictures (many phone cameras are at 3K or 4K resolution these days) are so big that the forum pages with lots of nice pics can take forever to load.
