Default Posting picture in a private message

Why isn't there any place that will let you post a picture in a private message? I'm trying to send a picture of an item I have for sale and there is no place or advise on how to accomplish. There used to be a prompt at the end of the box that asked if you wanted to upload pictures. I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me if this is a possibility?. Thanks, Aframe2

I don't know.

An alternative, and what I do, is to open a free acct. at photobucket.com.

Upload your pic, and then paste the IMG Code - bottom line of code - into your message or even into a post here. The pic shows up full size even though you're looking at a thumbnail on photobucket.

After you send your message, you can go view it in your "sent" items, and see how it worked.

Like this:

Aframe,

If you copy the http address where you have the picture post you should be able to send a picture to anyone no matter what you use (e-mail, PM).

The http address is also called an image tag. I use photobucket to host my pictures and they have all the image tags you need for post pictures anywhere.

Kinda like this. If you copy the properties of this picture (right click and click on properties) and paste the image tag in your signature it will show up as a picture not a link.

Didn't work. Used to work before they changed the forum. I think you need the [img] [/img] tags now. If you add the [img] tag in front, and the [/img] tag at the back of that URL (http) from properties, it should work. No spaces.

Lemme try it.

Like this but without the * in the first tag:

[*img]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i40/aframe2/HarleySig.jpg[/img]




There ya go, that worked.
