Adding image to GR message - possible?

Hello all, I see that a lot of people ask for help on images, especially deciphering handwriting etc. Can anyone advise how this works e.g. is there a way of adding an image to a the message thread, or is it a case of advising where on a website the image is and asking people to go in and look at it? I have a couple of images from Scotland's People where a few words / numbers are unclear; and I don't want to ask people to look at them if it is going to cost money. Thanks, all, and to all those who help others, you do a great job. I love reading the message boards just to see how people are so willing to help others that they have never met and I hope that eventually I might be able to help someone else, too. Thanks in advance and apologies if this question has been answered before - my computer doesn't seem to like it when I search the GR message board. Cheers Sue

The cert or census has been loaded onto someones PC . It can then be sent by PM for others to look at for help. What happens is peeps email via GR to the one wanting help. giving their own Email address in the body of the message and then the image can be sent direct by PM. Shirley
