2. From DU FAQ

How do I post an image?

There is no special code to post images. All you have to do is type the URL of the image, like so:

If you are using Internet Explorer on a Windows computer, you can find the URL of an image by right-clicking on that image, and then selecting "Properties." Look for where it says "Address (URL)."



----------------------------------------------------
Basically you right click on the imagine you want and highlight and click "properties" in that window you then copy the address listed under "Location" and paste it in your message.

4. You do have to post a link.

Preferably from your own Photobucket (or similar) account.

Hotlinking to images on other people's servers is discouraged.


WHAT IS HOTLINKING AND BANDWIDTH THEFT?
Bandwidth theft or "hotlinking" is direct linking to a web site's files (images, video, etc.). An example would be using an <img> tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else's web page so it will appear on your own site, eBay auction listing, weblog, forum message post, etc.

Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a web site to a user's computer. When you view a web page, you are using that site's bandwidth to display the files. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue. If a site is over its monthly bandwidth, it's billed for the extra data or taken offline.

A simple analogy for bandwidth theft: Imagine a random stranger plugging into your electrical outlets, using your electricity without your consent, and you paying for it.
