Smart people! Please answer a dumb computer question. Thanks!

Ok here's my dumb question:

I made some pictures in photoshop and want to put them on DU. I've got to upload them to a photo hosting site so I can then get them on DU, right?

Where do I go to do that and is it free? Can you recommend any?
I'm using a mac, too, so I don't know if that makes a difference.


(I'm at work so if I don't get a chance to respond right away, here's a big thanks now!)

1. Use this one:

http://www.imagesubmit.com/

It's quick and reliable, and requires no registration.

2. yes you are correct

set up a photobucket account and they can host for you:

3. I've wondered about this, too.

I'm going to give it a try. Let's see what happens....

5. Hmm. Not the result I hoped for

I used imagesubmit.com and used the code for a thumbnailed link forum. What'd I do wrong?

6. Bitmaps (bmp)s won't display here at DU... you need to load a JPG

or a GIF

(On edit... it's a DU limitation... the host site did host your picture, so it is clickable, but since it's a bmp, DU won't hotlink it as a pic in your post.)

7. Many thanks

Did I do everything else right?

[Misunderestimator]

8. Yes, I see the pic when I click the link...

There is a bit of extra text before your link though... probably just a cut and paste error. The link to COPY and paste is at the BOTTOM of the page called "Direct Image Link"

9. Thank you!

I'll check it out. This is pretty groovy. :-)
