The private message feature does not have an option to send along photos.  You can email them to the person or post here on the Forum for them to see.

Oh ok I thought you were sending someone a message.  Here is a link to the help posting photos page Cheryl made.  http://www.griswoldandwagner.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1383802487

Also if you preview the post it will lose the attachment,so you have to attach it again.   Hope this helps.

Roger, the link didn't work for some reason, but I did look up Cheryl's tutorial on posting photos.  Thanks.

Max attachment size is 400KB so you need to make sure that they are not larger than 400KB, To determine the KB size of a photo you can either right click and open properties of that photo or simply hover the curser over it and it should give you a little pop up window with the properties including the size in KB, If they are over the 400KB they won't upload and you will need to resize them.

I tried to post one picture tonight with no success.  I resized it using the resize-it app to 240 x 319 pixels and was told "Request entity too large."  That was my smallest option.  I am at a loss....
