Just opened an account on postimage (after going to community help)Put up...

.. a test photo (screengrab of a wip Digi art).

But the choices for sharing only has
FB, Reddit, Twitter, VK, and E-mail...

How do I get it to post here in DU (once I've made mt post in the proper or new thread?

(Do I have to go premium which I'm guessing costs something.)

NO Rush 👍

just tap the blue gooey at the end of the line
It automatically copies, and you paste in your post here

Easy peasy

I've been posting photos and/or videos here for a long time, but I still preview them just to be sure.

But can you see the image I copied & pasted using the "direct link" instructions in post #8.

It shows up in my post as an image (and it did have a .png ending).

on my link, and post it here, and preview the post, it only shows the link … not the pic.
So I changed .png to . jpg and it shows the pic

If it works for you, good to go … it just doesn’t work for me
I can see your pic btw

Don't know why it works for me.

This is totally my first photo hosting experience despite years and years of digital art making. And digital photography.
