If I try to start a discussion, how can I add an image to my original post?

7. If an image is online, you need to copy the image address, not the actual image or image link.

Often it will work if you right click and select "copy image address".

You want it to end in .jpg or another image format. Certain links won't work if websites forbid linking. When you paste it in, it will be a URL.

Any link you post that has a question mark in it - the question mark and anything after it can be removed.

Paste the link into the message, then hit preview to make sure it shows correctly. Some images just won't display from a URL.

DU won't let you post an image directly unless you're a star member. You can host your images on a site like photobucket or similar, then link them with the URL that way.

Below image in the message looks like this:
(although I had to add a space after https: to display the URL and not the image)

Without the space after https: it's a picture:
