THere have been sevral instances where I've wanted to attach a picture to an IM.
Dev/Null is OK, but what if the person doesn't log on to DSL while it's still posted?

Strongly *object*

I also object to the main proposal of the thread, though not as strongly. It seems unnecessary.

How about just ignore the PM' R and you can't receive Pm's from that member.

They can always block each other.

I'm in no way against moderation - just against locking. The last time I voiced this opinion, the thread was immediately locked.

I've cleaned up my act though.

While I know and agree with your moderation views Johnny, we both know DSLR doesn't. Since there is more of an active and hard-fisted moderation team, I don't want to have someone pissed off at me go make up an IM I sent to them and forward it to a mod. Since it seems the only two people who could verify it's authenticity would be nil and justin, both of whom are very busy, I would not want to get warned for something I didn't do.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20632102 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:56:14 EDT Re: Alowing Attachments in IM/PM's http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20632015 Johnny : Why do they need to be moderated?

If someone could send the same "insulting/obscene" image/video/mp3 by a link, what's the difference? The recipient sees it once and blocks the sender.

I would assume you're referring to the 3 admins on the site --- justin See Profile, nil See Profile, and myself. I cannot read any IM's but my own. I've heard this several times recently and I want to correct the misinformation. I would assume justin See Profile can see whatever he wants to see, and I do not know what nil See Profile can see.

There are only three (at least that's the word around the office) people on DSLR that can read other user's IMs. As such, they cannot be effectively moderated.

As much as I'd like to easily send a picture to a buddy, I'll accept the round about way I have to do it now as the price to pay for not getting bad pictures in my inbox from disgruntled posters.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20630156 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 23:38:54 EDT Re: Alowing Attachments in IM/PM's http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20629901 usa2k : Sign

Pretty much. You can do individual file uploads on /sendfile then paste the URL of the item into one or many instant messages.

I've never tried that before, that's why I ask.

It's just that I might have a gallery of photos to upload at once.

I am just used to the very simple upload process in the Public Forums, and wanted to see if the same feature could be implemented for PM's as well.

I will try your suggestion, but would like to keep this request thread open for other members opinions about such a feature, or at least a 'simplified' feature.

Thanks!
