I use this to post images. I copy the link and post that to DU. It does work..

https://postimages.org/

I've posting from Imgur and it works, just can't master the process on my phone.

Some sites display a preview page, and the url is not the actual file address. You need to open the image in a new tab, or right-click on the image and copy image link, then post the full address that includes the file extention at the end of it (.jpg, .png, .gif, etc.)

Good luck!

On my phone, I don't get multiple tabs. I have to open DU in and Imgur in the other. There were other barriers.
I'm not at home. My phone is hooked up to my friend's wifi, but my tablet isn't. I knew using my phone would be problematic. I got a good start figuring it out and appreciate replies.

in your posts. Unless the host is blocking hotlinks, which image hosts do not.

Can you post the URL here that is giving you trouble?

After so many views, the image gets blocked and that blue box displays instead. Pretty much any other image hosting site is better.

I don't know what the quota is, but there is one. If the thread has many views, it will eventually block that image. Have you never seen that blue postimages box?

Here's one done with Postimages:

Do you have a paid account, maybe?

But you have seen that postimages blue box in other threads, right?

use Flickr from my laptop.

I've been using that site to post images for quite a while, and have NEVER had that happen.. Just saying.
