Thank you for posting this, and the kind person who pointed me here. Helps so much, since I was trying to show off my first ever Sim and I kept receiving a message saying it was not possible for me to do.
I was wondering what had happened. When the site first posted, I was able to show-off my sims. Now BB Code has been disabled.
Hello. It's because of the point system that is in place. You need so many points and posts to be able to start posting pictures. We had an increase in troll activity with illegal pictures being used for avatars, so EA had to do something to keep that from happening again.
"You need 50 Points, 30 Posts and have an account older than 24 hours to become a Member."
Hope this helps...
edit: I see that you have what is required to be able to post and all, so that is weird that you still can't post pictures. Maybe someone else can explain why that is better than I can.
Ugh, I need to post a picture for help. But I cant.
If you can post it to a photo site and post a link here but put spaces in the link, that will work for now.

Ah man... wish I'd seen this a week ago. Just tried to do my "what I learned on an event post" and apparently I can't add all the 10 pretty pictures I was allowed to bring home, nor link to stuff.

Ok I like to think that I'm not an idiot, but I can't figure out how to make the forums post my pictures. I know new members can't post pictures, but I'm not a new member anymore so that should be fine. The attach image/file button in the comments section confuses me, I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to put there because when I did click and drag a picture there, my picture opened up in a window by itself. I thought "ok, it wants a URL and now I have one" so I copied and pasted the URL provided when the picture opened into the attach image/file box and it appeared to use the BB Code to attach an image, but when I clicked preview it showed just the code, no picture. So how exactly do I get this to work?

You can only post pictures from the internet. Here is how:
1. find a picture hoster (please google for "picture upload").
2. Upload your picture there.
3. you should get a link (URL) in return.
4. Copy that link to the clipboard (mark it with the mouse and press ctrl+c or click the "copy to clipboard" button if there is such)
5. Go to your post and click that "Attach image/file" button
6. Paste the URL by pressing ctrl+v
IMPORTANT: You must comply to the owners copyright if you paste a picture of someone else.
Well this is disappointing but I guess we just have to accept the system. Anyway thanks to everyone for this informative thread. Anyone know to to increase my points so that I can share pictures of my builds in the future? Thanks!

Ex.
This won't work in my signature and images or links don't either.
You need 7 more posts to make it 30 and then it should work...

I am sorry to hear that you are having game problems. Luthienrising's suggestion about posting the link for your photo for help is good.
