Adding attachments

[SisterAbdullahX]

OK, so I need to send a message to someone with some pictures which are in my attachments (in the Manage My Attachments bit). How does one go about doing such a thing? Seems attachments can't be used in messages, or am I just such a Luddite?

I've never tried adding attachments to a message, but it looks like it is possible.

If you use the full editor for messaging there's a 'My Media' button. If you click on that and then click 'attachments' in the pop up box it should bring up all the attachments you've used in the various forums. Only when I tried it, it didn't. Clicking the 'finished' button did then bring them up and allowed me to add them to my post, but then clicking on the 'finished' button again wouldn't close the pop up box! The only way I could get the box to close was by clicking on 'Save my message', which was still visible in the main editing page. I didn't take it any further as I didn't want to actually send a message, but it [i]should[/i] have worked out.

This why I don't bother with the Basschat attachments system and use an external image hosting system like Photobucket instead.
