    Is there a link to attach a file to a started conversation? I'm not seeing one.

    You should see "Upload a file" next to "Post Reply". If not, click on "More Options" and see if it comes up.

    Reviving this thread...help! I have spent hours hunting and pecking trying to attach a photo to a conversation/message and was just informed by another member (thanks Steve!) that there should be an "upload files" button next to the "post reply" button...but I dont have it when having a private conversation?? I generally use a laptop but the same situation presents it self on my android device. Weird thing is, the "upload files" button is clearly visible when I type this post, just not when I participate in a private conversation.
    Maybe one of my settings?
    Any help is much appreciated
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I don't think there is a provision for adding pictures. I just posted a thread with the other person's name and we did it that way.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    I thought the same as Pat, but yesterday I had a conversation and was able to attach a photo just like in a normal thread? I wonder what happened?

    Maybe it's browser specific? Not sure.

    Thanks for the replies Gents....I`m getting the "post reply" and "more options" button but the "upload a file" button is not there? I`m using Firefox for both my laptop and android device.
    Do we have a contact person who is responsible for IT troubleshooting on the v8 forum?
    Thanks again,
    Tom

    Yes, I`ve been messaging another member and he has the option to upload files within our conversation but I dont....so the option is definitely available.

    I just had the same experience only I was able to upload pics & he wasn't.

    It seems to be an ongoing issue. Too many ppl ask about it for it to be user error.
