Well, that's one of the problems. If I drag 3 files, there is no complaint, but only one is uploaded.
If I could drag all allowed, (or even more than one,) I would be quite happy.
The wording of the uploader suggests that only 1 be allowed at a time. This is by design, since this is a message forum file attachment manager, rather an specifically a photo gallery software package. UBB.threads assumes a minimum server requirement for processing/compressing what would be multiple large images at the same time while expecting equal performance for the other forum users on server, and possibly other websites, especially on shared servers.
I have thousands of pictures that want to upload to the server to appear in ‘picture of the day’. The only way to do this is by uploading them one-by-one.
Better would be a place on the server where I could just dump my thousand pictures and tell the system where they are (for my picture of the day.)
Uploading thousands of images to a single post? You probably would get the exact expereince youre looking for if you used a photo gallery software for managing your gallery of photos, instead of using a message forum software which was designed to manage typed messages. Thousands of images attached to a single post would not be user friendly to the post attachment viewer. A modern photo gallery software package should be able to allow your users to comment on single photos, or even a single gallery folder of photos.

As an idea which you could expand upon, is to use Piwigo Gallery to manage your photos, and setup an RSS feed which pulls a random image from one of your defined galleries each day. Then use the UBB.threads RSS Topic Creator to grab that RSS feed and insert it in to your forum as a new post in a dedicated forum category.

You could also just use the 3rd-party photo gallery's "embed random image" plugin to create a UBB.threads Custom Portal Island. Most gallery software provides a block of php code specifically for this perpose.
