Links to every members gallery appear under every post you make on the forums...see the 'Personal Gallery' button under my, your and everyone else's names?. That's just one click from the forums
No matter how many links there are or where we put them, people will still not find them and request extras in what they perceive as more visible places.
Full instructions on how to post images into the gallery, embed them into posts and many other useful stuff are available linked straight from the rules section. Nobody reads the rules though and that causes problems. Perhaps if they did they would also learn how to get the most from the site.
All we can do is politely point them in the right direction when asked or if we notice them struggling. As you rightly point out, all the information is already available
