Can you quickly transfer attachments to a photo gallery?

I've uploaded a few pictures in various threads - and can access them as my attachments from the user CP. Is there any way for (lazy) me to quickly transfer these from attachments to a photo gallery?

Rather not upload things again - or store them twice on PM's server.

why not save them on to your computer? Then you can put them in a file or stick them in photo bucket, etc.?

Thanks KGL - I have them on the hard drive. I'm just trying to avoid the buttom pushing robot work (and waiting) of uploading them again. Intent is to collect them in one place with an explanatory caption (what, why, etc). Like to just shift them sideways into a gallery (or have the gallery access the attachments) and just add the captions.

I suppose I do the opposite. I put them all in Photobucket and then if I want I can have a caption or title. If I want to share it here I just link it. Or I can link to my photobucket album. It save me from having pictures here and there they just go to Photobucket.

Yogi,

You can do that
Post your pictures into the gallery first, and then link them to your forum post
there is BBcode given to each photo that you upload

It also allows you to caption the pictures, unfortunately those captions do not transfer to the forum post

Hope that helps some

Thanks Rick - guess I started out backwards. Will have to upload them again to build a gallery. Thanks.
