[img] usage in PMs

[Pixl]

I'm not able to get the code to work with PMs. Works fine in posted messages. Is this something that could be turned on?
Would be nice when showing something to another member to have a picture inline with the message rather than an attachment or URL link.

its been like that for awhile...

as to the question if its something that can be "turned on" you'll have to wait until scott gets back so he can give you an accurate answer......

Unfortunately we had to turn that feature off due to some folks using it to spam other members or in some cases attach photos of how to hack certain satellite services. Because they were images our PM filtering software which detects such things was made useless.

It wouldn't have been an issue if it happened just one or two times, but it was happening a lot.

But the good news is it cut down on PM spam a lot.

Whatever.
Sounds like a "punish everybody" solution.

I remember right, I don't think there is a way to turn it on for just certain members in the vBulletin software, or Scott would have done that. You know like turn it on for staff and pub members only. Be nice if that feature was there.
