Is there a way to attach photos to private messages? There's no "file attachment" icon and "paste doesn't work.

Thanks,
Mike

If your images are hosted on another site. You just use the IMG brackets on each end. I’ve been doing it that way for a while and I use post images

Yes, I understand that, but I just want to attach a file from my PC like I can do on the public forums. I do use Google photos, but if I copy the image address, it sometimes cannot be seen by anyone but me. I can't quite figure it out. And it's not a .jpg file.

Here's a link. Can you see the photo?

There is not a way to do it the way you want to, Mike

I'm not sure on the exact reason why, but one of the Admins probably have that answer

I can not see the picture on your google link
