Unfortunately you will not be able to post them directly from the ipad ..... The ipad names & numbers images it stores using a very basic system ie. image01 image02 etc etc and the Rootschat system requires that every file posted to it has a unique identifier rather than these generic titles.

If you have access to a computer you could download the images to that or email them to yourself and open them on another device to rename them or there are various Apps in the Store which claim to be able to access the file system of the iPad (although I would urge caution there).
