You can't directly upload a pic to DU. You must FIRST upload it to an internet site that does photo storing (as mentioned, imgur and photobucket are two of many) They are free. Once you get an account on one of them, upload your pic to the site and they will give you the 'url' or internet address of that photo. THEN you can paste that into a DU message, and the photo will display.

Does that make sense?
