PMs can't send binary data, their text only (And there's valid computer security reasons why this is so)

what you'll have to do is upload the picture to some site (such as your Anime Online private Gallery) and embed a link in the PM, or get the person's email address (as email does support binary attachments)

*nods* but you can allways press the "Quick Upload" when you're sending PM's, then you just have to find what picture or signature or what ever you wanna send and it i think and it's uploaded right away to the PM. And if it's something personal you can allways delete the file again from your "My images" in the "Image Host" menu ^^ then it'll also be removed in the PM you send

Other sites to quickly upload a picture or two would be imgur : the simple image sharer and/or ImageShack® - Image Hosting.
