Default Pics in PM's

I can post pics in threads, click the little icon looks like mountains in the bottom a sun set top left. Used to do that with PM's too. But now when I click? It only wants a url from a website. Noname

I just PM'd a test pic to myself.

I'm using the mobile version with an Android phone, so it may be different on the full site. I go to the forum gallery and select my photos. I can select a photo that I previously uploaded, or upload a new one. I long press on the selected photo, and the URL for that photo is displayed. I copy that to the URL box that you see when you attempt to attach a photo to a PM using the picture icon. Good luck.

Your pics are coming from a website but I don't believe you can upload from your computer I think that's what the OP was talking about.

Yes, they are coming from a website, and that website is www.hdforums.com. Maybe the powers that be want to monitor explicit content, who knows? I was just providing a workaround so the OP can attach pics to his PM's now, instead of waiting for a fix that may never come.

Only way I've found to do it drag & drop from a web based picture source. Pain if you don't use a cloud or pay service of some kind.
