Need HELP! With Posting Images! Please!

I have created both an Imgur acct and a Photobucket acct and I can't get either one to post anything but a link to the image. Jeez. It should not be this hard! How do I get it to embed the image? Please help?

Thanks in advance!

that pops up, and then in your DU post, press Control V (that's paste)

The format looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/S314Fmt.png

and displays like this:

I was using my phone (Android). Everything was the same, except all I ever saw was the link text. It did not display the photo in Preview. I'll try on my computer later and see if that works better.

If what I described doesn't work on my phone, there's an alternative that might... later, sometime after 3 PM CT

ETA - can you paste the link that you got into a reply? Yet another alternative is modifying it...
