You'll have to be logged in to be able to do this, because I don't want anonymous spambots uploading pictures (trust me, the text is bad enough), but now you can upload images in your replies in a forum thread.
Under the box where you type your message, there's a "file attachments" option - use that for uploading pictures in the forum. (I'm not sure anyone would need to upload a picture when posting a comment on a news item or blog post, so I'm not adding this option there.)
I've got it set to automatically display the image you upload. In the reply. I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to display when you upload an image in the first post. So for now, just click on the link it displays in a first post and maybe in 2013 I'll have it figured it out.
Please remember the basic rules - nothing explicit, nothing offensive, nothing that is violating someone's copyrights (like magazine scans).
One thing I guess I should mention is that I don't think you'll be able to hotlink directly to the pictures uploaded here, as a link to an image on RTM's server has to be from toymania.com, otherwise the image won't show up. So this isn't really a substitute for photo hosting, it just makes sharing on the forum a bit easier for folks without a Flickr/Photobucket account.
Here's what the links will look like when you upload pictures in the first post:
