    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.

    PS: The issue with posting pictures while in WYSIWYG mode is that you can't do "fancy" stuff, such as placing a picture within a link (or vice-versa). Oh, well. That's why clicking on the icon toggles between WYSIWYG and source modes -- "wax on, wax off".

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    Precisely, JB! Oh well.....Seems by the time I finally learn something, it has changed or is obsolete!

    I know many people used it. But absent a solution for the problem, it was either that or keep getting problem reports.
    It took me quite a while to figure out that the editor was the issue, because I never used it (it wasn't standard or perhaps available when I registered).

    Additionally, we're run on a volunteer basis, with all hours that we spend here being hours subtracted from time spent on things like family, or actually doing fun stuff. Figuring out where the problem was located took long enough, and being able to provide a workaround counts as a win. Sure, I would have preferred actually finding the root cause and fixing it, but at the moment there is no one in the staff who has both the skills and the time needed to fix it.

    Personally I hope that when we upgrade to 5 the issue will be gone.

    Not that that is going to happen in the very near future because of the same reason. So if there are people with some Linux server skills, php or vbulletin we could always use an extra hand to help us manage.
