Postimages is very easy to use, once you get the hang of it, so please don't be intimidated. The age of your device shouldn't matter, either. If you can access the website and find the image on your device, you should be fine.

One thing that confuses people sometimes is that after uploading a pic to postimages, the site will give you a list of several different links to choose from. Look for the one labeled "direct link" (it'll be second in the list). Tap the little clipboard icon to the left of the link to copy it, and then paste it into your DU post. That's all there is to it!

Here's an example from an image I uploaded today, to show you what you will get back after you upload a picture: https://postimg.cc/qNVDJwjh/c2304e11

Good luck, and let us know if you need any more help.
