Trying to figure out how to post memes [View all]

From Imgur to DU.

I hope I can post memes Sunday, but I'm having trouble doing it on my android phone. I uploaded memes from my phone to Imgur, but haven't figured out the next step. I posted a text link to a meme, but can't get the actual picture to post.

If anyone has tips, thank you!

Images ._. Aug 12 #1

Thank you Marthe48 Aug 12 #2

You need to copy the image link with the file extension included JoseBalow Aug 12 #4

I was doing that Marthe48 Aug 12 #7

If you post the full image URL with the extention, it should display JoseBalow Aug 12 #8

postimages.org sucks, they limit the number of views then block the image JoseBalow Aug 12 #3

I've never had that happen. I've posted here with Postimages and had a couple of hundred views without a blue box. sinkingfeeling Aug 12 #6

It happens quite frequently JoseBalow Aug 12 #9

Not on any of my postings. I've had a few with over 300 views. sinkingfeeling Aug 12 #12

I don't know what the criteria or the limit is JoseBalow Aug 12 #13

I don't have a paid account. I have seen the blue box on some threads. I only use Postimages from my phone and sinkingfeeling Aug 12 #14

What? ._. Aug 12 #11

Ya, it's only sometimes when they block it JoseBalow Aug 12 #16

Next time, choose a larger size. I can't read what it says (but I'm old). sinkingfeeling Aug 12 #15

Thanks for the tip Marthe48 Aug 12 #17
