Evening, I had some time on my hands this evening, so I made a basic guide for how to use the MHF site's gallery to add many pictures to a forum post. Hope it helps people.
Step 1
From the main site homepage, click 'Photo Gallery'
Step 2
Open up your gallery by clicking the 'Your Album' link
Step 3
Add a new image to your album/gallery by clicking 'Add a photo'.
Step 4
1. Click the browse button to choose the picture on your computer
2. (optionally you can enter a description of the image here)
Step 5
Browse to the file on your computer, then
1. Select the file
2. click the open button
Step 6
Scroll down a bit and choose 'Add Items' to upload, depending on the size of the picture you're uploading, this might take a little while.
repeat this step for each of your photos, you can upload multiple files at a time but beware that this could take *ages* if they're really big 
Step 7
Return to 'Your Album' and you'll see all of your uploaded pictures.
Select the first one you want to add to your post.
Step 8
1. scroll down a bit and click the 'item actions' menu.
2. Choose 'get item URLs'
Step 9
for posting into a forum post, choose the second to last box, 'show image directly', select the text in the box and copy it (press ctrl-c, or right-click and choose copy).
Step 10
Paste the code (ctrl-v, or right-click and choose paste) into your post. It's helpful if you have your new post open in a new browser window so you can quickly switch back and forth for multiple images.
Your version of windows or your web-browser might look a little different but the principle is the same, hopefully this is helpful to someone.
