Local images in private messages?

General Feedback & Requests

Hi,

I just wanted to send a private message here in the forum.
When I tried to attach an image, I discovered that I could only specify a URL, while in a normal forum thread (like this one), I can also pick a local file from disk for upload.
Is it a bug that this option is not available in privaze messages, or is it intentional?

Cheers,

Hi ,

This is intentional to prevent an influx of large image files in order to conserve server space. To share an image you can link to an account like imgur.com.
