Easy posting of Pictures to the forum

[bucknaway]

Has anyone come up with an easy way to post pictures to the forum? A message board here in Delaware supports the ability for members to drag and drop pictures into a dialog window but that does not seem to be supported here. Hey Surfcrest, that would be a great feature to the board (Hint, Hint, Hint).

If anyone knows of a easy way to share 10 to 20 pictures here on the board could you share it with the rest of us?

Seems pretty easy to me.

Click on 'Post Reply' >>> Choose the photos you want to post (wherever they live on your computer) >>> scroll down to the bottom of the page (a long bloody scroll I must say, with all those smilies taking up so much room) >>> click on 'Upload Attachment' >>> click on 'choose file' >>> double click on your chosen photo(s) >>> click on 'Add the File'.

Add as many files/photos as you wish. You can also write embedded captions for each one.
Not Drag&Drop, but not really rocket science either.

I have uploaded pics that way, I am asking for a easier and better way. This board only allows you to find and upload one picture at a time.

1. click on add file to attach picture
2. click on select file
3. find file and select it.
4. Click on Open to confirm selection
5. Click on add file to upload pic file.
(One picture has been uploaded. Now repeat that process 19 more times to get 20 pics uploaded)

You're just lazy.

Yeah, I am. Once I got so use to being able to drag and drop pictures into a post and being able to tell a story with the easy placement of pictures to support it, coming here and having this very old and outdated setup for loading pictures is just no fun at all. I think that is why there are very few pictures and videos in board posts here.

I just put these in the thread in 20 seconds. Too long?

Now if the board had drag & drop function, you could write a page of text and add the pictures in context.

The way it is now, If you have a lot of time..... A lot of time..... you can select one pic at a time and go through the tedious steps of loading them. And once they are loaded, you would have to remember that file# PIC0001 is of the guy you were talking about and file# PIC01001 was of the Temple and that file# PIC10001 was of the Thai dish you had outside of the temple and not many of us have the time or desire to work so hard when it need not be so difficult.

There is a better way and easier way.

add the pictures in context.

Once you have uploaded the picture, put the curser where you want it scroll down and hit "place inline"

In edit mode, [attachment= 9]xxx.jpg[/attachment] cut and paste this code to where you want it.

Or if not from your computer [img]PHOTOBUCKET%20or%20other%20source[/img] cut and paste this code to where you want it.


Yes, I made this avatar, send me an original, and I'll make yours.

This is a sample of "Drag & Drop" Picture posting in a thread. No need to know code or have to go through a 5 step upload for each picture.,
You simply write your post and then drag the picture you want into the thread where you want it.

Below is a copy of a board post I made on a local forum. I shrank the browser view so that I could get a decent amount of the sample when I created the "Snip" file.

Another thing that is useful, if I were to copy a post with pics here and dragged it into a thread there, it would copy the text along with the pictures.

But I will drop the subject,. Seems I am the only one interested in a better way of picture posting on this site.

I also just checked and see that the board with the easy use is powered by vBulletin┬о and this board is on the phpbb platform.
