I also use imgbb.com. It often seems slow to cache and show the image upon preview. I scrape the direct URL from "html full linked" and save it to my computer files. That's what I send to DU. It's after "src=" and just up to jpg"

All hosting sites are a PITA, IMO. Oh well.

I email to friends. The mail app even resizes for me. Oh, for the "old" internet.
