Is there a way to add multiple photos within a single post? I seem to only be able to add one photo per post and that makes it a little cumbersome for doing a WIP thread.

Is there a way to PM another user? It used to be through the user's profile. 

“So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.”

I will look into the multiple images per post.  Private Messaging was not added to the new forum in order to streamline things a little better, as it would require cumbersome addons.

OK, I have done some research and have found that there is an addon for attaching multiple files to one post, however I am always trying to find ways to reduce addons.  Each addon contributes, either slightly, or in a large way to resources usage on our server space, and we have to carefully weigh which ones are manageable and worth the added load.  I will continue to research this, but until we can figure it out, adding a post for the next image may be the best option.

I know this thread is a few months old, but I second Joshua. It would be awesome to be able to add multiple photos per post. 

Also, I haven't figured out how to have the JPEG I attach actually show in the thread without the other users needing to click on it? Is there something I'm missing there? Because I see some users post pictures and they do show in the thread.

Thanks for any insight!

It would be nice to be able to insert photos in line with the text as well. 

Example:

Text text text....

Photo #1

More text...

Photo #2

etc

🍻 Just a wish list! Cheers!

I kinda figured out how to do this... you need to edit your post to add new images one at a time...

Yes! How did you do that!? I can only get my images attached to the bottom of the post... not inserted in text.

Karl is using an off-site photo hosting service, while you and I are attaching a photo from our personal computer.

It was a trap.! That's the response I was hoping for.

For posting photos in forums I use IMGUR: https://imgur.com/

That's excellent, thank you sirs. I was trying to use flickr originally, but it wasn't working with a direct copy paste. 

Testing:
