mayphly Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I can't seem to be able to attach photos using messenger on my desktop.. Is there a way to do it? I see I can add a url. But. I'd like to be able to attach pics from my desktop's hard drive in a message. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I think you have to use an image hosting site like, photo bucket etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Can you see the icon that looks like a paper clip. You should be able to attach photos from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I think i figured it out. Upload pic from desktop to "My Gallery" // Options // share links From "share links" you can copy and paste BBC code, HTML, Image Link, or Page link I think this is the only way to send pics in messenger unless using image hosting like High5. An "attachment" tab would be nice in messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Metageoligist, Do you have a paperclip icon when using "messenger" on your desktop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ok I may be missing some thing. What do you mean by messenger are you talking about sending a PM or just posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I guess it's the same as a pm. I'm talking about the envelope icon on the top right side next to "notifications". If you hover your mouse over it it'll say "messenger" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I see what your saying I launched the full version as I am always signed in using Tapatalk. There don't seem to be any options to add files to pm's on the Web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yeah it's kind of a bummer since I keep almost all my pics on an external drive connected to my PC. Also, your only allowed so many pics you can upload in the gallery. On top of that you cannot delete your uploaded gallery pics unless you request a moderator to remove them. I don't want to sound like a complainer because I love this site. However, I think there is some room for improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 When you are in the messager there should be a button called full edit mode or something like that right to the right of the Post button. Click that and it will allow you to attach photos (same thing works for normal posts). How many photos are you able to have in your gallery?

mayphly Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Here's a screen shot using "Full Editor" in messenger on my desktop. Am I missing the attachment button? Im definitely not the most computer savy person in the world. Maybe I'm missing something here? Lol! I'm aware of the "image" Tab which only lets you post a URL. Any help here would be appreciated.

mayphly Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I misread the gallery limit. I see it's unlimited. 20mb per pic. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have the same problem in mine. I pm'ed Will once and he was able to add a paper clip in that message, but somehow it doesn't do it in any of the other pm's for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 It was a permissions issue....I just set it up so everyone should now be able to attach in messager. I may change this later to be a benefit for supporting members only but for now everyone has it. mayphly, countryboy12484, Soothing Shrimp and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
