I'm in a PM discussion with @kyphysics and he does not seem to have the ability to upload a photo into the discussion. I see "Attach files" below and to the left of this typing box and "insert image" in the center of the menu bar above it with the option for "upload image". @kyphysics, can you please upload both a screenshot of the new post dialog box with toolbar and buttons, and a copy of the pic you are trying to send me here?

Here's what I see:

This is what my PM looks like.

I believe attaching files in PMs is a feature available to Gold Members only. Does @kyphysics have Gold? (I can't view their profile.)

Edit: It seems that they do not.
Edit 2: I was right, it's listed here: https://www.physicsforums.com/help/goldmembers/
Interesting. So, you are right. No Gold Membership here. Never thought about it until now. :smile:
 
At least under chrome on Windows it is possible to copy paste images, just Shift-win-S, mark what you want to post, ctrl-v, and ready.
