How do I post a pic to DU from photobucket using my iPhone?

I bet it's obvious, but for some reason I'm not seeing it.

Touch the and hold the image until you see 'Save Image' and 'Copy.' Choose 'Copy.'

Then open a new browser window or open Notes... Anything you can paste words or a web address into.

(This will not work in the 'message text' section of DU for some reason. This is why you have to paste it elsewhere first.)

You end up with a direct web link to the photobucket image that you can re-copy and paste into the 'message text' blank at DU.

(You may have a little garbage text at the end. Delete the text behind .jpg or .gif, whichever extension is applicable, if it's there.)

Now select that entire address, and paste it into the 'message text' blank at DU.

Preview to check.

After I click the picture to view it I click the menu button on my phone and select "View Links". The second link from the top is "Direct". That is the address of your picture. Cut and paste that in the text field of a post and your picture will appear.
