Attaching pictures for private messaging

[MrEugene]

I  seem to be having a problem inserting a URL link for  a picture  in private messaging.

Are there only  links for certain photo storage sites like Flickr or Google Photos that will work in your system?

I didn't see the option to attach a photo from my  computer files.  Thank you.

In private messages, you can only attach a link to an image. If you want to upload pictures to be inserted into a private message, do this:

1. Create a private album (use the "Create" pull-down at the top to create a new photo album, and use the "Privacy" controls at the bottom of the creation page to mark it private)
2. Upload your photo(s) into it
3. Copy the URL for the photo you want to insert (from your browser address bar)
4. Create the private message
5. Click the insert image button and paste the link

Yeah, it's a pain. The forum runs on a third-party software package and it has limitations, so we're pretty much stuck with it until @rawTOP gets the new site done.

Do these pics go against any limitations on amount or size?

And do these have restrictions on content, ones that might need to go in the back room?

Size limit is the same as for any other pictures in the Galleries (I'm not sure what that amount is).

IF you make sure to set the album PRIVATE access, it is OK to put Backroom content in them. Content that is not allowed anywhere on the site (obscenity) is not OK here, either.

Thank you very much viking8x6 !
