When you first start using the vBulletin software (I think my first time was when I started visiting NAXJA) it is a bit confusing.
I saw pictures posted but I didn't understand how they were posting them. At first I figured you would upload the pictures to the website. I found the "Attach" thingy at the bottom of the post, but that didn't look anything like what I saw in the other posts.
Eventually I figured out that the preferred method of displaying pictures was to upload them somewhere else and just put the link in the post.
You may find this strange as did I until I started thinking about it. Pictures can be pretty big, file size wise, and with a few hundred people uploading pictures, well the computer that runs the vBulletin software could run out of disk space pretty quickly. Basically the board would be down.
I write this because I've been seeing warnings that some of our new users have exceeded their allocated disk space, which is tiny.
Here is a thread you need to read so you'll understand the preferred method of uploading and displaying pictures in your posts.
Also if you want to display a video, youtube is an excellent choice as it will play directly from the post.
