From Twitter to DU?
I saw the directions here before, I think in the Lounge, but I can't find it now.
TIA

(227,629 posts)When I was new here, I was shown how to use it (initially to post a pic of my 2 dogs on a pet thread!) - and I got quite proficient. I could edit photos so they were the correct size and could crop them so they looked better. These days, I mostly find a pic, then do a Search for a version of it that's the right size and that works. It's a real PIA.

(26,576 posts)I think I saw that explanation in the Lounge and I can't find it now. I think it involved changing the link address...?

(227,629 posts)Of the Tweet, then click on "Copy link to Tweet" and then paste it. Does that help?

2. Delete everything up to and including the question mark

(25,573 posts)Its pretty simple
save pic to your phone/tablet whatever, at postimage point to saved pic and upload, then it will give you a URL to copy and paste to DU Thread
Thats the simplified version of steps, you have to try it a few times to get it right

(52,557 posts)here I look at a tweet via Google (I don't have Twitter but can read them on my tablet when others post them, like Keith Olbermann). Under the picture are 4 icons, the one on the far right is like a 2 sided triangle and you tap it for "sharing". Then options appear and you tap on the one that says "clipboard". Then when you are writing a post on DU you tap the screen and choose "paste" and it appears on the screen.
