1. put them on a public photo sharing site as .jpg files.
2. Copy the url of the photo on that site into your post here.

Go to google PHOTOS.

Search and select image.

Right click to get URL

Then paste in your post.


I don't know how to post my own pics but I bet if you used a service like shutter fly it would work the same.

Right click on picture in the media whatever, click on copy image location, go to DU and use Ctrl V to paste it where you want it.

That won't work with pictures stored on your computer - you'd need to host it / them in Photobucket whatever.

Go to photobucket.com and create an account for yourself. It's free

upload your photos, or download them on to your desktop. You can do this by clicking and dragging photos you see online on to your desktop.

When you're in photobucket click on upload which is at the top of your screen when you're on photobucket. A window shows up and you can choose what you want to upload. Click on your choice on your desktop and it will upload into your photobucket account.

When you click on the photo you want to upload into DU which is already in photobucket there is a box on the right that has the options of what you want to do. Click on the second option which will then momentarily look yellow and say the word copied. That means you have copied it and can now paste it where you want to paste it.

Then paste it in your message text. It will look like html code when you haven't posted it. If you want to see how it will look before you post it click on 'preview' at the bottom. If you like what you see then click on 'Post my reply'

I hope this helps.
