Occasionally I have to upload multiple files or images to the server and have to do it one by one. Is it possible to select all?

This is used for the Forum and newspad.

It is only possible to upload one image at a time.

I understand after much searching and finding this topic, and experimentation, that it is indeed only possible to upload one image at a time, but wonder:
Is it possible in the future to add the ability to either drag and drop, or choose multiple images instead of just one, take that info into a variable or whatever, and have the forum work through the list until all are uploaded?
For example, I can write a VBScript that will search for computers in active directory, keep a list of the computers it found, and perform a function on each computer found until it's done. That's basic VBScript - can ASP when you currently go to your computer, "My Pictures", select a file and OK, allow multiple selections and create a list or array or whatever, and work through that?
some of us attend car shows, take 20 photos, and want to upload and display all - doing one at a time takes a very long time, especially on a slower connection.

ASP runs server side. To run on the clients machine to select images you would need to use JavScript, which for security reasons has limited access.

If ASP were able to work client side to search through directories and networks then it could be exploited to hack in to the persons computer or network.
