    Help: how do I attach photos to a "private message"?

    I can't figure out how to attach photos from my computer to a response to a private message. When I click on the "insert image" icon, it wants me to reference a URL for the photo. I'm missing something...can anyone help?

    I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

    Someone, presumably a mod, moved my thread but didn't provide an answer to my question. It looks like the thread was moved to "Forum Tech Support" but when I go to that forum my post isn't there.

    Scott, I don't think you can attach photos to a PM. If I need to send a pic outside of the forum I will ask that person for his email address.

    If I need to send a photo in PM I up load to a cloud and reference the url for the picture. Which is what it is asking for. You can send a link but no attachments.

    Why not insert the Pic rather than attach? That you can do...
