How do you add pictures from your pc to a private message?
PMs lack the "add attachment" functionality found in the editor for forum articles. You will have to uplod these images to a publicly available server (picasa, flickr, etc. come to mind), where you can also obtain BBCode snippets to put the images into the PM in a nice format.
In a PM you can only add pictures that have a URL, i.e., they have already been uploaded to a picture hosting site. However, the picture hosting can site can be SRP. If you go to the user control panel, there is a selection for Pictures & Albums. If you upload your picture into an album, then you can add it to your PM using the insert image button above the text area.
Well,
I downloaded picassa 3, but I am still having issues getting the link in the pm. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Different Ways to Share : Sending links of albums and images - Picasa Help should get you started. If you haven't done so, you should also read Picasa Help.Quote:

+1 on the SRP album it's easy to upload to and then just use the insert image. It works well.
It works reasonably well for small numbers of images. :ziplip:Quote:
