...is to right-click on the image and select "Open image in new tab". Then you can go to that new tab and, like magic, there's the link all nice and purdy without all those "&"s and "+"s and "="s and other strange stuff. Then you can copy that link and paste it in the post. Usually it works, sometimes it doesn't. It has the advantage of showing you exactly what the DU software is going to see.

Hint #2: Preview before posting. Always, always, always.
