Hi all,
 Can you post a photo or PDF file on a PM and if so how is it done.(Warning Im old and a Technophobe)

You can add photos to PMs and posts but need to learn how to upload photos to the forum.
It's quite clunky but once you've done it a few times it becomes easy.
Have a look at this helpful guide to uploading pictures.......

Since that post some modifications have taken place and you may need to resize your photos. I'd suggest nothing bigger than 500KB should be uploaded.

Note - it helps to have 2 tabs open with the forum on both.

I don't think it is possible to add photos or documents to PMs on the current forum.
Tried it last week with a pdf but there is no option to add anything to a PM as far as I could see.

There is a type of cheat or work around.

Create a post in an ordinary thread on the forum.
Do not publish the post.
Insert a photo or document as normal into your post.
Cut and paste the code representing the photo from your post into the PM.
Delete your post from the thread.
Send your PM.

Messy but it does work.

PS I take no credit for this method as it was passed onto me by John @Train Waiting
