11. Do this
1) From within the email, save the pic to your hard drive.

2) Upload the pic to a picture storage account on the internet, like flickr.com or photobucket.com. If you don't have one of these accounts, you can register for one. Conversely, some people have web storage space with their ISP. I work on a MacBook and I have server space on Apple's servers, so that's what I use, for example.

3) Use the picture URL from picture storage account in your DU post.

4) Pic will show up in your DU post.

5. Apparently with the disclaimer:
"I just got this from a friend and don't know how to respond. I'm not worried about it, but I'm afraid that people will believe it. Help me debunk it!"

Or, if it's something nice, just copy and paste.

9. Like that'll ever happen.
I'm just trying to post a photo of a sign outside a business here in Florida that says "Remember 9/11. Don't vote for Hussein O'Bama". I also have the business' phone number but don't know if that should be posted or not. The copy/paste doesn't work from my aol. Sorry.

12. You have to upload the picture to a web address before you can copy and paste it
1. Save to hard drive
2. get a web photo address (www.photobucket.com)
3. Upload from your hard drive to photbucket
4. Copy and paste the address in a post

14. I was just kidding. this is what I do


I right click on the picture, and name it and save it on my harddrive.

Go to tinypic.om and click on upload button if not at the upload screen.

Click on browse and a FILE UPLOAD window will open. Find the pic, double click on pic and then click on OPEN.

Name the pic in the tinypic window where it asks for a tag, and click UPLOAD NOW.

To post here at DU, I copy and paste the code that begins IMG in a DU posting window.

that should do it.
