They would need to host the images on an image hosting site then
link to them.

Could you not use the gallery system as that creates link text
like

Is it at all possible that the forum software could be changed
to allow adding an image to a PM as easy as it is in adding one
in a forum post?
For a hobby forum, being able to easily add a photo to a PM is a
very handy thing to be able to do.
It would be terrific if it was made possible.

I know it might be a PITA and extend your to-do list, but any
possibility you could implement it?

Most likely no. Raises other issues with content checking over
pms/storage space for forum.
If I would to be added would require a large cost to add to the
forum system.

No worries then, thought it may have been a simple switch to
enable. As always appreciate the quick response to a question.
Thanks.
