Yes. The forum software doesn't allow the attaching of images in PM. The reason is the admins can't see the images users send in PM. For attachments this poses a liability in both copyright and pornography. Say you send an image to userY and it's child porn. That image as an attachment is uploaded to the our server and sent in PM. If that image is found on the server guess who gets charged with distributing child porn... You and I.. As I am hosting it, and you're sending it. i'm responsible for it. now if you link to an image from another site in a PM, it's not on our server and not technically ours. Only you go to jail and the other person who owns that other server. Now. I know that is far fetched here. But that's why the software is made that way. You can upload the image to photobucket, or the easiest is postimage.org. Although with postimage the image is eventually deleted from their server.
