Images in Private Messages

That option does not exist. You need to embed images in the message, hosted elsewhere
That's what I thought.. that seems a little cludgy.. thx ideologist !
There is not an attachment option in pm's
But you can post pictures in pm's if you upload them to a image hosting service like imgur is what i use free and easy to use.
Just hit copy and then paste the image into your message,
https://imgur.com/
I've tried copy and paste, doesn't work. The only way I've seen is to click
the icon at the top (mountain) and enter a URL. Again, really cludgy, but
this site's code is a little weird anyway.
It works i use it all the time
Once you get your image uploaded to the service you will see this option hit copy and then you can just paste the picture into your message

Make you have have something in the title it wont send without that
i just sent you a pm picture this is screen shot of the message before i hit summit message
If the image is not of a private nature :groucho: then you can post a message including the image to the "test" forum and send a link to it. The advantage is that you don't need to get a fourth party image site involved.
No, it's a picture of a cue. I can add pictures as attachments on regular threads,
like this.. but I can't copy and paste, right click, to add pictures in PM's.. all I get
is "select/select all".. really f**in annoying. I'm on a Macbook Pro, I have no
issues copying and pasting ANYWHERE else but this cludgy site.

I suspect it was a design choice by the VBulletin people and exists for the same reason there is a relatively small limit on the number of PMs you can store. Maybe with the current price of storage it's time to revisit that choice.
You don't need 3rd party hosting. You can send pictures in a pm by using your user cp and create an album. It use to resize them but I don't think that works anymore. Keep your pictures size (resolution) around 1000 or smaller. After you save it to an album, open the picture, it will have two links below it. Click and save the bottom one then paste it in your message. It will post the picture in your sent messages box. I put step by step of the two ways to post pictures here without using 3rd party. I just have to find the link.

I sent you a picture. I don't use pm's so forgive me for shutting it back off.
Hope this helps.

Can't find the link but:
User CP
Pictures and albums
1- Create the album
2- add pictures
3- Select public view
If you open the picture and copy the url code, it will post the link.
If you copy the BB code, it will post the picture.
If you just want friends and moderators to see the pictures in your album, click private view instead of public view.
Hope this helps.

I'll give that a try, Michael... much appreciated :
Just tried it, it works, thanks again Michael ! Sure is a kludgy way to incude
an image in a PM, compared to just dragging an image into an email !
