Can't attach
i have attached files, like HP tuners to messages, thread replies and PM in the past. now, the editor box that used to allow this no longer shows up, even on a new pm message. it does however show on a complete new thread or message. i want to PM a file to another forum member. i have not changed settings and use the standard editor setting.
please help, this is frustrating!

There has never been the ability to send an "attachment" via PMs. The software has had never supported that. By "attachment" we mean directly upload the file to CorvetteForum's server through the PM interface.
The only way is to "hot-link" by having the file hosted elsewhere and you link it in the PM using the
which brings up the URL box where you enter the website's address.
Again, there was never the ability to directly send files via PM.
I think because that same button does bring up the Attachments in a Post Reply thread, some members get confused thinking that button did the same in the PM interface. It doesn't and never did.
