Is there not a way to multi post direct into a thread direct from our computers ....like we do from Flickr?
In theory, yes there is, if I can find the time to develop a multi image attachment routine or a way of uploading from your PC to the forum - at the moment the forum, like others, uses a standard upload routine that requires a URL to embed in the post.
The gallery allows that to be short circuited since the software "knows" the URL of the image since it is hosted on the forum. Downside is that you have to upload the file to the forum gallery as well as flickr if that is your preferred storage.
The downside to external storage is that, like photbucket did, the images may be given temporary sharing URLs that stop working after a while. Also if something changes externally the forum ends up with broken links - from an admin's point of view it is better for forum integrity to have the images in the gallery or as attachments.
