Is there a way to make mass-posting easier?

Current situation:

I post A LOT of wallpapers (300/day) I usually post them in waves of 100-150, and I need each wallpaper to be a different post (so it can be easily uniquely identified)
That's why I upload them all to imgur, and then paste the imgur image codes, one by one manually
Imgur generates this for me:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/boCn1Gv.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5oSf11u.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/juE3ML8.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hLduEV9.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NSN35Hw.jpg[/IMG]

* 100

Now what I do now is paste all the images, select the entire stream of images, scroll up until the second highest one, press control x, hit submit and repeat this process.

Problem: This process takes quite a while.

It would be awesome if somebody knew a way to do this faster.
Thanks in advance.

Since you have a huge list of URLs like that, you can just write a custom script (or add a custom page to the admin center) that includes a textarea where you post the URLs. Then when the form is posted, you create an array of URLs via PHP's explode() function, loop through that array, and call createPost() for each item in the array.

That sounds awesome, but unfortunately I lack the skill to create this.
Thanks for the reply though  ;)

And what would be the subject of each of your topics? That's also an issue here...

Every image "wave" I post are all replies to the same topic (I have topics like "Wallpapers General", "Wallpapers Cars",..)
So that wouldn't be an issue since they every big load I post is for the same topic.

Except the posting script would have to know this because you have to supply the post's title to createPost. That 'Re: Is there a way to make mass-posting easier?' is stored per-post because you can have per-post subjects.

Not if you look, closely. Look at the title, above my post (And yours).

Ah my bad didn't notice that  ;)

So as a conclusion: I guess there is currently not a way to "mass-post" in a topic?

There isn't, no.

It should be doable, though, and it's not *that* hard (unless I'm overseeing it), but it requires time. And that is a scarce resource these days :(

Because it's so difficult to have a box for the title as well as a box for all the bbcode you want to mass post.
