Here's a really easy way to add multiple pics to your post....
  1. Open two browser windows
  2. If you have two monitors, display a browser on each. With only one monitor, tile the two browser windows so you can see both.
  3. Now open your smug page or what ever page your images are hosted on in one browser window
  4. Start your Dgrin post in the other browser
  5. Click and drag each picture into your post
  6. Done

    Interesting - I'm must be missing something 'cause I can't get this to work. Not saying it doesn't - just that it's not working for me. It would be so cool if it did - save me a lot of time sometimes.

    Same here, doesn't work for me (OS X Safari)

    All I get is the actual URL to the image, this address is not wrapped in [IMG]tags. Welcome to DGrin, I'm pretty new around here, it's a nice place to be :D[/img]

    Hmmm...I just tried it in Firefox and it seems to work, at least the preview looked right. If you see an image in this post, then it works.

    OK...here's what I saw: I couldn't drag the image from a Smugmug gallery page, but by opening the image in the medium or large view it worked.

    Clever. I had never thought of doing it that way. Thanks.

    I moved this whole discussion to a new thread so as not to hijack discussion of the original post.

    Interesting... I use Flock so I tried in IE6. The drag and drop does not work but Right-Click Copy and Paste does work in IE6. The drag and drop takes to the actual url of the pic. I guess it is dragging over the shortcut to the page.

    Still, copy and paste should be quicker than type in the url with html brackets or using the Insert Image function.
