The forum has never supported the ability to attach/upload files to the server when sending PMs. What you describe above is how it has been for the last several years in regard to PMs. You must already have the file somewhere online if you want to share it in a PM.

The PM system does not support uploading. So the first step you must do is upload them online. Either on CorvetteForum or any of the numerous hosting options online.

You can upload them to your album. Go to UserCP, Pictures & Albums, Create Album and then follow the instructions on screen. Once the pictures are uploaded, each will have a Share button with a BB code that you can paste inside a PM to link to them.

We encourage members to take the time to explore the forum. There is no Delete My Account, no Brick My Computer or Server, so simply exploring the site will allow you to find how to use the forum. There's also several stickies and announcements that also help cover frequently asked questions and information.
