Default PMs and attachments

Hello...... Me again!

I was wondering if there's any way I can send a graphic picture or a photo via PM. I don't mean a smiley from those available on the site, I mean a picture of my own.

I thought it was possible to add an attachment when replying to a message, but when I tried I could only find room for a URL.

Just wondering.

Thank you.

From what I'm seeing, when in PM mode, an image would have to hosted on a server/site in order to include it in a PM as a link or as an embedded image.

I'm also not seeing a way to upload direct from desktop or HD.

Thank you for that Curious. I am downloading pictures to photbucket and using them in my posts, but do I use the IMG in Private messages as well?

Quote:
To add the picture to a REPLY, just RIGHT click and PASTE the IMG code you copied on the REPLY box.

If so, where does that go please? I have an option for HTML in Photobucket, or wrap around code in the PM.
