Cant attach pics to a private conversation-no "upload file" tab displayed

As the title states, cant attach pics to a private conversation because the "upload file" tab/button is not displayed on the screen. The tab is displayed when posting to a thread but it is not present when participating in a private conversation?
Here`s another thread in which the issue is discussed:

Thanks in advance for any help with this issue!

PS The "upload a file" tab is displayed as I`m about to post this thread! Argh...

 

Yup,

The ability to post pictures in private messages is a perk for our financial contributors... always has been.

I was having the same problem when trying to send JW a picture of my cam specs. Didn't realize it was a limited perk. I did contribute for the 2024 calender year, so hopefully my account will be changed when the 2024 contributor's list gets updated.

Thanks Jim, good to know. Are there any other perks which you think contributing or non-contributing members would like to be aware of?
Is email notification of a post to a private conversation also one of those perks?
Thanks again,

No reply to my above question but this has been posted under the "board supporters" section; I was clueless that this existed. Maybe others will find this helpful:
