(33,643 posts)I use imgur.com, it's pretty simple and decent.
You just upload the photo to the share site, grab the URL for the pic from that site, and paste it into a DU post.
Note it should have an extension of .gif/.jpg/.png at the end of the URL. Without that, DU just thinks its a regular HTML link and it'll appear as just text in your post.
On imgur, the url to choose is called 'Direct Link'.

(45,551 posts)Longer version: you have to find a image hosting service on the net. Post the pictures there. Then you have to get a link from that hosting service, and embed that link in you DU post using HTML code.
So there is nothing user friendly about it do I don't bother anymore.
That being said, Hugh and Happy explained it very very well!
