The first thing to do is select "Media" from the main menu. After that, you can enter a specific album by clicking on its title.
Once inside of an album, if you have permission to, you may add a single item or do a mass upload of items. Worth noting is that the gallery will automatically resize large photos for you.
To view and/or create your own personal albums, click on "My Albums"
Once in the "My Albums" section click "New Album" to have the album created. There are a lot of album options, just change the title and submit, let everything else go.
This last part is pretty cool. If you want to link a Media item to a post in the forums, do the following: first, go into the detail of the item by clicking on its title.
After getting into the detail, copy the text from the "BBC Embed code" field into your post. In this case you would copy and paste the following text:
Pasting this text into a forum post creates a really cool linkage to the gallery. See this example in action:
