Starting at the very beginning.... You cannot link images from your computer. You must first upload the image to a server that is connected to the Internet. You can rent space on a server from an ISP (Internet Service Provider) and then upload you images to that rented space...or... you can use one of the many free server services. Some of the free services work well and some don't.

Once you have your image on a server connected to the internet, you then determine what it's URL is and place that URL in the Sijun "Post a reply" entry box between two image tags like so:
Code:
 [IMG]http://www.myserver.com/myimage.jpg[/IMG]

Then it will show up on Sijun.

Bonus tip: make sure the image is .jpg or .gif.

This won't work because it's not a URL to an image (it's a URL to a webpage):
Code:
[img]http://www.deviantart.com/view/22486435/[/img]


Even though this one IS a link to the image, this won't work because deviantart.com don't allow off-site linking:
Code:
[img]http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs7/i/2005/246/f/5/The_Mistress_by_pleatsmaster.jpg[/img]


This creates a link to the other website, rather than include the image in the forum, and this does work:
Code:
[url]http://www.deviantart.com/view/22486435/[/url]

Or just:
Code:
http://www.deviantart.com/view/22486435/


--

To have the image displayed in the forum, you need to host the image on a server that allows off-site image linking. This list might be a bit out of date now, but I'll give you some ideas:

photobucket seems popular at the moment.

Once again Thank you Sumaleth for your kind reply & explanations

I tought deviantart was allowing off-site linking but i WAS WRONG IT SEAMS.

So I will look througth the link you sent me;
