7. It's not that hard...

Once you get your image uploaded to a service like imgur, select "Get share links", and then copy the URL code. Paste into a post here as is, like this:



You do not need to bracket the image URL including suffix with [url][/url]. DU software will automatically recognize it as an image and post it. If you do include the [url][/url], they'll just show up as extra text by the image. If that happens, just edit your post to remove the [url][/url] text from the image address.

If you have a photo on another web site with a known format such as jpg, just post that address (including the .jpg, .gif, .png suffix).

Easy peasy, really.

You have to upload your photos to a photo hosting site. I can't figure out what to do next. applegrove Jun 2020 #1
