do that and then paste it here in a message box. Then preview it. If it works, fine. If not, you'll have to do a screen capture, save it and then upload to a web photo storage site.

See the instructions the other poster referenced.

First save pic. Choose Images on post image
Then hit photo album. Pick pics hit done.
When 100% complete choose item line direct link twice. Says copied. Then do to DU and post in text. Hit preview. Should be there.
