Post a link.

There's no direct way to put a picture up here unless you use the screenshot/artwork sections and link those.

If the picture is not game related, you would upload it to a web host like Imgur or TinyPic, and then post the link the site generates for you.

If the picture is a screenshot or an artwork, you will need to be on PC as far as I know (I don't have a smartphone, and so do not know the full functionality of the app.)

For a screenshot

Open the Steam client
Click View followed by Screenshots
In the new window, use the drop-down menu to select a game
Select the picture you want to upload, in the bottom-right corner click Upload
Now go to your screenshots
- If you are using the Steam client, make sure you have set it to show URLs
Open the screenshot you want to share
Above the screenshot will be a link to the screenshot, copy and paste that into a discussion post

And voila:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=897352394

The process is similar for artwork.

Make sure you own the rights to the artwork you are uploading.
Go to your artwork and click Upload Artwork
- If you are using the Steam client, make sure you have set it to show URLs
Open the artwork you want to share
Above the artwork will be a link to the artwork, copy and paste that into a discussion post

And voila:

The basic idea is that we ain't a image hosting service, neither we should encourage users to add pics to every lol-post they make.

If you absolutely need a add a picture, use a safe and popular image hosting service like Imgur for example and post the link. For screenshots and artwork you can use the steam gallery options.
