Imageshack is another option if you Riftaxe Aug 2012 #3

and then put the link to it here. You can't attach an image; it must be hosted or displayed somewhere on the internet.


Actually, I just looked at this thread w/the answer, similar to mine but using a different service: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1256&pid=3024

You just need to upload the art to somewhere on the internet so that DU can find it. Lots of places like:
Flickr.com
Photobucket.com
Imageshack.com

To photobucket and page with selections. From there click on the image you want. When the page refreshes, you'll see a series of address bar size windows on the right side. Hover over the one that has the HTML link.

Copy that and paste it into the text box of your message. Be sure to preview it to see if it took. The image text in the message box should have the file names of jpg, gif or png.

Wikipedia always has pictures to use, I'll make an example of one for you below. Just keep on clicking on the image you want until it won't refresh anymore. Then copy the address bar above it and post that in the message box. It will have the file designation of jpg, gif or png at the end as well.

At times, there are other websites or even DU, that you see an image you'd like to share here. Click on the image and see if the right click on the mouse will reveal a series of choices. I click 'view image info' and drag that to my desktop. That should be a link. Check to see if it ends in jpg, gif or png and paste or drag it to the message box. Once again, preview. Here's one from Wikipedia with extra spaces so you can see how it should look:

And the picture itself:



If you want to post a video from youtube, just ask and we'll show you how to do that too.
