    Thought it was possible before but can only post photos from a url now.
    AFAIK in a PM it has always been from a URL only. At least as long as I have been around SRP.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    The easiest I have found to add images in a PM is to use postimage. Upload your image and then use the 'direct link' url. In your PM or Forum Text box click on the 'insert image' Name:  screenshot_124.jpg
Views: 98
Size:  8.6 KB icon and paste the direct link into it. Voila. Your pic will show in your PM or even forum post.

    Been away from the computer. If what Max said works for you great. I upload photos to a free account with Photobucket. There are other hosting sites but PB is the only one I've used.

    The photo, once uploaded will have a menu to the right. IIRC 4 options depending on what you are going to post it in.

    I copy and paste into the PM and click on 'preview post' to make sure I selected the correct url choice. That is how I do it.

    you can also put pics in a PM if they were attached to a forum post.
    Each attachment has a number, so if you copy paste the 'attach' block of the forum post into your PM, you get the same effect.

    If you use photobucket use the bottom link to attach a picture to a post or pm. That's what I do

    That's a good tip - cut and paste the attachment code block in PM's....been looking for a solution to do that - thanks, and of course, makes perfect sense when you think of it.
