DBF members can upload images directly to their posts by integrating a Cloudinary account into their profile.
It makes posting images SO FAST and only takes 5 to 15 minutes to set it up.
Update for 2023: since the process has changed so much, I created a new PDF with instructions for signing up for Cloudinary and adding it to DBF, and to make updating it easier, I will only update the PDF from now on.
Please use this specific link to begin signing up for your Cloudinary account because this referral link will give DBF additional image hosting bandwidth for free (and we need more bandwidth).
Once you finish the process described on the PDF, you'll see a new button next to the "Add Temporary Attachment" button that says "Upload File" whenever you post on DBF.
I've made a screen recording on my phone, showing how to upload an image via your phone. Watch it here:
You'll notice that the first thing I do in that video is change my browser to Desktop. Iphone users will probably see a version of DBF that fits their phone perfectly. Galaxy users like me, end up with a zoomed out version.
To delete images you've uploaded, go to cloudinary.com/console/media_library/folders/all/
