Why can I attach pictures in the forums, but the same icon will NOT allow me to attach pictures in a PM?

It’s an annoying design flaw to the system

No, while my answer to a lot of these questions is “you’re doing it wrong” a forum tech guy had to explain to me that this quirk just... is.


I use Tinypic for sending pictures in PMs.

Tom -

I've NEVER been able to attach a picture to a PM, and the workarounds people tell me about are too complicated to fiddle with. At least we can post photos internally, within the Forum, without having to resort to outside third-party hosting (like Tinypic or Photobucket). I work 3 or 4 handgun forums every day, and only one of them supports internal photo posting like this Forum does.

John, what handguns are you into? I have a few Colt snake guns. This was not a good week for gun enthusiasts.
