Insert image from file (instead of only from URL)

I'd like to be able to directly insert a picture (screencaps mostly) without having to post them to IMGUR or some other HTTP website first. Can this functionality be added to TheGreenbutton.tv forums?

Something like this syntax being supported:
[img]"C:\Users\bruce\Desktop\Untitled.jpg"[/img]

You can attach the image file to your post (using the full editor button on the bottom), and the image will be embedded in the post.

There is an "Upload attachment" link down there, look carefully next to the "Options" link. Then once you add the file, you can click on the "Place inline" button to add it within your post.
