It sounds a bit less complicated than postimage.

Create an account.

Click on "new post." (Upper left hand in my browser)

Drag an image from your computer into the window that shows up.

Wait a few seconds (I haven't figured out how long) - and then right click the image, select "open image in new tab"

Go to the new tab that opens up - if the URL ends in .jpg, just copy the URL and put it in your post.

(If it doesn't end in .jpg, wait a bit more and try the right click again on your image on imgur. I'm not sure why there is a delay, but when you open the image in a new tab right away sometimes isn't a .jpg link. To render properly on DU just by putting the link in the text, the last part of the link has to be an image link (.jpg, .png, etc.))
