I have looked into it and discovered that you cannot attach pics to PM's

No, not sure, It would be helpful though.

Well at least we now know you aren’t the “tech-guy”

Smetro, the FT forum software defaults to "Allow attachments in private messages: OFF" when installed, so no attachments of any file type are allowed in PM's. This can be changed by a system administrator, but it is often left off to save storage on the server, attachments have to be stored on the server once sent. You could PM Paul, Frank Talk Admin, and ask if he would enable .jpeg attachments in PM's.

Another way to PM pics is store the pic in DropBox or Instagram and just send an anonymous link in your PM. I could send you this link in a PM for a pic: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e92hd7j6kvjh ... 9el3a?dl=0 The recipient doesn't need a DB account to view or download the picture.

The subject was brought up a week ago and attachments will not be permitted in PM's.

Smetro,

I think it is a nice way to say we don't want you sending naughty pics of Miss H and Miss F or other alphabet mistresses making us all jealous and drooling all over ourselves.

Oh well!!
