They would need to host the images on an image hosting site then link to them.

Is it at all possible that the forum software could be changed to allow adding an image to a PM as easy as it is in adding one in a forum post?


For a hobby forum, being able to easily add a photo to a PM is a very handy thing to be able to do.


It would be terrific if it was made possible.

I know it might be a PITA and extend your to-do list, but any possibility you could implement it?

Most likely no.  Raises other issues with content checking over pms/storage space for forum.
If I would to be added would require a large cost to add to the forum system.

No worries then, thought it may have been a simple switch to enable. As always appreciate the quick response to a question.


Thanks.
