Inserting an Image in a PM

[Crixus]

Please add the feature in the PM function that lets me enclose a photo by browsing the photos I have stored on my computer. You have that feature on the regular posts in the forums (which is great), but if I need to send someone a pic in a PM, my only option using your "Insert Image" icon is to supply a complete URL. It does not have the automatic browse of my computer photos.

So far, I have been unable to enclose a photo of a razor or other shave item to another B&B member using the PM function. Please add the same feature as is used in regular forum threads. Thanks.

You need to get a external image hosting account with some place like photo bucket. Upload the image, then call it into the PM using the img tag.

Here is the URL for photo bucket (it is free) http://photobucket.com/

The lack of images in PMs is a limitation of the software used (vBulletin)

I thought about that possibility after posting above. I'll sleep better knowing our great B&B admin gurus didn't drop the ball on this one, but merely bumped up against system limitations. Thanks turtle, I'll play around with the photobucket site.

You could also try this for image hosting:

tinypic.com is a good fast option.
