When posting pictures with the older forum software, we used to be able to select several image files at one time and submit them. With the current software, I know how to post only one picture at a time by selecting the 'Insert/edit Image' icon at the top of the new thread. This is fine, but when posting several pictures, it is not very handy - especially since I (we?) have to scroll back up to the thread top to click on the icon.
Is there an easier way to post multiple pictures?
Thanks!

Hi Alex....
You can still post multiple pictures just as before. When you click on the "add attachments", you will be able to choose the file where your pictures are located. All you have to do then is to hold down your control key and choose as many pictures you want. Hope this helps...

As Alan said, do NOT use the INSERT PICTURE feature, use the ADD ATTACHMENTS feature and things will work just like the old forum did.
THANK YOU, Alan and Rich!
That's exactly what I needed.

Rich, your method works fine from my digital camera but not from my samsung phone. Wonder how that happens.
WB47, I'm not sure what your comment means. Are you trying to POST images from your phone or just ACCESS images from your phone and post them with your computer.
The way you phrased your question, I'm not sure what you're trying to do.
The way I do it I plug the phone into the computer, then get to dcim, then select the photo from the images that appear on my computer screen and then hit open which then posts them to the add attachment on the reply. Using the same technique with my camera, I can highlight one, hold the control key, then highlight a second and so on, but my phone will not let me do it that way, I have to go back to add attachments and do one more? Any thought would be appreciated. Thanks
WB47,
What phone are we talking about? My iPhone5 allows selection of multiple photos with no problem. After selecting the first one, you just tap whatever additional thumbnails you want to add them to the selection.

WB47, if you are connecting your phone to the computer you should be able to use the standard method of selecting multiple images . On a PC you hold down <CNTRL> and then click on each image you want to post. That will do a multiple selection for you. A MAC has the same feature, but you hold down a different key. Perhaps a Mac person can help here?
I don't seem to be able to do it on my iPhone6. As soon as I select the first picture, I immediately get the downloading box.
