Pro tip for picture posters....

... well, not "pro", I ain't "pro". I wanted to post a pic to DU, and it requires (?) that you provide the URL for the file, right down to the ".jpg" or ".png". Flicker doesn't allow you to access the file name's URL. Neither do a lot of other sites I tried. Photobucket, however, allows you to copy the photo file's URL, which worked just fine for posting to DU.

I've never bothered to sign up so don't keep anything on there and don't know about long term, but for a quick post it works well.
