I want to post a screenshot on one of my posts but don't seem to have permission for that on my account. Anybody know if there's a way to get it?

You have to upload the screenshot so it’s available online; then you just add it to the post with the regular syntax:
[img]http://your/image-url/here.jpg[/img]
You can use something like Photobucket, Flickr, or even Mobile Me to upload your screenshot so it’s available online. Don’t use ImageShack, though—they like to ban us, so the picture won’t show up.

Members can't attach or upload images to the forum server. Oisin's suggestion of using other services to host is a good one.

Photobucket might have the worst UI ever made.

Drop.io is also a good one.

Dropbox did it - thanx for the suggestions - and thanx nonhuman for the ref code. Got me an additonal .25 gigs as well!
Now then, would you say dropbox is in "the cloud" - or as yet insufficiently redundant?

Got me an extra .25 gigs too, thanks! 
I don't know enough about Amazon's S3 infrastructure (upon which Dropbox is built), but I suspect that Dropbox is, at least, cloud-like. Since S3 is what Amazon uses for their own storage, I would guess that they probably pursued a Google-like strategy of high redundancy and decentralization. But for all I know it could just big one big cluster of machines in a single data-center.
