Suggestion to include in private messages

[OldSchoolGamer]

Is it possible to add the ability to send or attach a small file (ex: image) in a private message? I don't think it is possible to do this under the current private message restriction settings. So could this please be changed to allow users to beable to execute this ability? We have the ability to do this in threads/posts in the forum, so I don't see why we shouldn't be able/allowed to do this also in a private message.

(There has been a few times where I wanted to send a screenshot of a game or a "Print Screen" image and I couldn't send it to the person.)

Apparently, there's a hack for that. I'll look into it and probably implement it, if none of the other admins do.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Looks like it's quite intensive, and requires, among multiple components being installed, several integral vB template edits. Aside from that, I see no indication that there's a limit on number of attachments or size of attachments (although that may be enforced by default post attachment policy; I haven't delved deeply enough to determine that).

I think, based on these facts, that we're better off not implementing this hack. However, there could be a better hack that accomplishes the same thing, and eliminates the issues I've mentioned, and if there is, I'm in favor of installing it.

I suggest using one of the thousands of image upload services, and just including the link in your pm.
