    PMs lack the "add attachment" functionality found in the editor for forum articles. You will have to uplod these images to a publicly available server (picasa, flickr, etc. come to mind), where you can also obtain BBCode snippets to put the images into the PM in a nice format.

    In a PM you can only add pictures that have a URL, i.e., they have already been uploaded to a picture hosting site. However, the picture hosting can site can be SRP. If you go to the user control panel, there is a selection for Pictures & Albums. If you upload your picture into an album, then you can add it to your PM using the insert image button above the text area.

    Different Ways to Share : Sending links of albums and images - Picasa Help should get you started. If you haven't done so, you should also read Picasa Help.

    Use your SRP photo album if you like. You can also make that album private if you don't wish to share it with all
    Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage

    +1 on the SRP album it's easy to upload to and then just use the insert image. It works well.

    It works reasonably well for small numbers of images.
