30. Easiest fix moving forward is to not use the particular link choice you're using

on your photo hosting platform. Most of them have various URL versions available for each photo, looks like you're using one that's likely labeled 'for message boards', but that's not the best one for DU, it's meant for less advanced software than what we have here.

Instead use the one labeled 'direct link' or the like. Shouldn't have any tags wrapping it when you paste into the message window of DU, should just be a URL, ending in .jpg.
