I use IMGUR for images, literally as easy as CTRL-V the image and you get a link.

I understand that the same logic applies here too (discuss in the boards rather then via PM) but it's still really bad... can't that be higher?

I don't have that limit - but perhaps there are some other limitations because of your low post count. I know a change has been made to prevent any member with less than 5 posts from using the PM system here.

That must be it, can't see the limitation anymore. Kind of funny that my post here complaining about it got me past the limit [emoji3]

It might be, if limiting disk space usage was the only consideration. But it's not. The other serious concern is legality of content.
Attachments to forum posts are seen by many, and anything significantly illegal will rapidly be reported to mods, and deleted.
PMs don't get that scrutiny. So, allowing attachments in PMs could be a real legal hazard for Dave. Not going to happen.
Just use an general purpose fileshare service, and pass links in PMs.
