Lifeislarge Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Just wondering if you could add the option to attach a photo in a PM like you can in a regular thread post. I took a picture of a money order sent as payment and would like to attach to my "Payment sent" PM. Be handy as well to send pics of stuff privately.

sperman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've been able to include photobucket images in a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That is not an option in the forum's software. But there is an option to "add setting" (to the members PM configuration). But it's complex and would take me a lot of time/research to figure out if I could even do it. So if someone could research/point me to a thread on how to set that up, I'd look into it, when I had the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I was just curious. I know about the Photobucket option but I try my best to keep my stuff on my own hard drive. It's also a bit of a long way to go just to send a quick pic just snapped on an iPhone. No hurry Brian, I can always just ask for a personal email address to send pics to.

sperman Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I do it the same way I would in a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 I do it the same way I would in a post. Again, this only works if you're willing to upload all your pictures to an outside server first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you taking the pic with the photobucket app? It's a bit quicker that way. Thanks to forum member Micah for clueing me in on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take all my pics with my iPhone, move them to my MacBook Pro and put them in their proper place. When I want to add a photo to a thread post, all I have to do is click the "attach" button at the bottom of the screen and attach my pic. I don't like using Photobucket or any other web storage apps. If I choose to share my photo with this forum that's up to me but I prefer to keep my files to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum can't display a photo from your personal storage, unless it's on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
