13. My steps for using imgur:

1. Open https://imgur.com/upload in the browser. (I use a separate tab or browser instance to keep this open.)
2. If the image is in your local storage, use "Choose Photo/VIdeo" and upload it from storage.
3. If the image is on the web, capture it using your browser's controls. For Firefox I use Ctrl-Shift-S and choose the image/area and copy to your clipboard. Paste it into the Imgur page you opened in step 1.
4. Right click on the displayed image after Imgur says it has been saved successfully. Select "Copy image link" and paste that into the DU new post page.

This ain't elegant and it isn't a single button push. It is almost muscle memory now for me so it takes about 20 seconds to run through the appropriate steps.

Please let me know if I can make this clearer!!
