Since taking a time-out from DU, I find I can no longer post images...

1. Some servers will not allow that

It would appear that the DU software wants an image to terminate in a file extension like .gif, .jpg, .png etc.

That is why, when a site uses thing like sizing or other parameters, those are truncated by the DU software.

So, in this instance in particular, the server is being asked to serve a .jpg file.

If you actually put THAT URL, without the "?id=32338876&width=1200&height=778" into your browser, then rawstory (where the image is hosted) serves up an error reading:

"malformed params - no id"

In other words, rawstory.com is not going to serve that image unless it is accompanied by the "?id=32338876" part of the URL. But that part of the URL is truncated by DU.

The reason they do that is PRECISELY to stop sites like DU from stealing their server bandwidth by serving images on sites other than rawstory.com.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

on edit: (what you CAN do is make a screen capture and trim it down to that image (or if you have Mac that's a simple keyboard command) and then drop it onto https://imgbb.com/ to upload the image, go to that image page, copy the image URL and paste it here)
