Sending pictures through PM's

just thought it would be a nice feature to have. Perhaps you have a picture that you wanted to show a friend that doesnt relate to any particular thread.

>>>how much more space could it take up? depends on how many people use it.

if 100 people post 10 2mb pics over a span of 1 month, that would equal 2,000 mb a month more needed for space AND double that (4,000 mb) in bandwidth. The average hosting company gives out 20,000 mb of bandwidth a month to a average joe account, that would mean 1/5th of the months bandwidth would be used on 100 people out of how many thousand that visit the site every day, and i doubt just 100 people will use it, maby 1,000 so add a zero to all those numbers, thats 40,000mb a month used just for pm pictures.

just a waste of space no matter how you look at it :P

take that time and effort to teach everybody how to post links :P
