3. Thanks, SL, I looked there but it wasn't the post I'm looking for.

I remember something about having to amend the link and add jpg but that's all I can remember.

21. That's what works for me after photobucket became ... I don't know what.

But copying the link from Twitter should lead to photos. If I understand the problem.

Whe I upload photo to post hotlinks for forums all sorts of other letters post....

22. That works for still images. I don't know about videos. With videos...

I just copy and paste the url of the video right into the DU text box here.

2. I used to use Photobucket, but since that's no longer an option, I tried the site in reply #2 here:

I have no idea how to post a picture here...

5. Me either! Lol

Not sure how you post videos.

9. Oh, videos aren't hard, but I mourn the loss of Photobucket

When I was new here, I was shown how to use it (initially to post a pic of my 2 dogs on a pet thread!) - and I got quite proficient. I could edit photos so they were the correct size and could crop them so they looked better. These days, I mostly find a pic, then do a Search for a version of it that's the right size and that works. It's a real PIA.

6. Thanks, Rhi, I want to post from Twitter to DU.

I think I saw that explanation in the Lounge and I can't find it now. I think it involved changing the link address...?

12. If you want to post a Tweet, all you need to do is click on that little arrow on the below left

Of the Tweet, then click on "Copy link to Tweet" and then paste it. Does that help?

13. I'll try. ❤

14. I figured it out!!!

1. Copy the link from the Twitter picture.

2. Delete everything up to and including the question mark

3. Add .jpg



And...Voila!!!

15. I've been using postimage

It’s pretty simple… save pic to your phone/tablet whatever, at postimage point to saved pic and upload, then it will give you a URL to copy and paste to DU Thread
That’s the simplified version of steps, you have to try it a few times to get it right

16. Thanks dweller. I figured it out.

It's a little different, posting pictures from Twitter. It means a lot to me that you offered help. Thank you! ❤

20. I don't know tech stuff but when I post

here I look at a tweet via Google (I don't have Twitter but can read them on my tablet when others post them, like Keith Olbermann). Under the picture are 4 icons, the one on the far right is like a 2 sided triangle and you tap it for "sharing". Then options appear and you tap on the one that says "clipboard". Then when you are writing a post on DU you tap the screen and choose "paste" and it appears on the screen.
