Thread: Photo's in PM's ... how to do it?

I just went to compose a PM to you, including a photo from an external website: the first time it gave nothing; the second time it included the photo. What differed between the two? The first one was from my account on Basenotes, which doesn't allow external access to user photos; the second was to my user avatar on Facebook, which has "public" permissions.

All of which is to say that the image you want to share might not be available to everyone -- check the permissions, and see.

Good luck!

I use imgur let me try a PM to you

Thanks Glen,

I was using the URL from the top of the Photobucket website.
After looking at the differences in the URL string between Glens and mine I realized that it had to include ".jpg". So I looked closely at the options on photobucket, there were none other than "download", so I right-clicked on the image and used "copy image address".
That worked.

That all went over my head like a speeding bullet. I just go by the rule that no pics in pm.

I'm with you Jerry! If i need to send a pic in a pm i just ask for their email

I gave up on photo hosting sites just to much to keep up on.

Yeah, that's always been a limitation of vbulletin that it can't include photos in PMs and the workaround is to include links from external hosting. That's what I've done too and it's rather silly in my opinion.
