How do you send pictures in private messages? I used to be able to just copy and paste them into the message. It seems I can no longer do this. I tried several different pictures, to no avail. maybe the pictures are to big, but I was able to post the picture of the hub cap here on the forum with no problem. I do not know how to resize the picture if that is the problem. any suggestions would be appreciated by the computer challenged old guy. Thanks ----Jim

Create an album in your profile to load pictures into.
When in album, select picture and copy [IMG] code and paste into message.

I always just switch to personal email when I want to send photos, text and long messages. PM is fine for short contact information, but beyond that I prefer email.

That's how I do it also.

Thanks for the information guy's. I will try the album method in the future, and maybe the e-mail.----Jim

Hell, I just post 'em on the regular board if I don't have someone's regular email. Everybody's always sayin' "We love pictures!".

I would sure like to be able to attach photos to my PM's. Maybe I will start posting in the "Test Forum" and send them there. Currently I just email them directly.

Easiest way is to get person's email and send them directly.
Use PM to say" Photos will be coming in email."

^^^^
This is how I've done it when it comes to PMs. Also if the person you are sending to is on your fordbarn friends list you can make the album visible to only friends. No one else can see it outside of administration and friends you deem.

Email works great too.
