At this point, as a new member, you don't have the privileges of messaging another member at all - photos or not. Private messages are something you earn after a certain amount [not publicly disclosed] of public posting in the forums here.

There is no way to attach photos directly to a private message. You have to post them in a restricted album in the gallery and attach them, or else attach them as links to photos hosted elsewhere.

You can attach photos directly to a post on someone's activity feed, but that's not private.

That's great info! Thank you @viking8x6  I've wondered how to send pics in private messages that I didn't want posted publicly.

I would presume that you can't upload a profile photo as a guest, because guests, by definition, don't have active accounts to which the photo can be attached.

I'm a member. What is the current method for attaching a photo to a thread?

[viking8x6]

To attach a photo to your forum post, just use the paperclip tool in the lower left, or the "Other Media" button in the lower right, of the post.

Note that there is a disk space limit on your aggregate attachments. You can get around this by posting your images in the galleries and then attaching them to the post. It can be rather finicky to get this to work, but the basic idea is to use the "Insert Existing Attachment" choice from the "Other Media" button, and then select your gallery image as the source.

There is no paper clip on my view.

Your reply window is way more robust than mine and that includes the paper clip, which is absent on my screen.
