Glad to hear you're moving in a direction with a forum that I'm more familiar with! Here to help if you need anything. phpBB doesn't support uploading pictures right now. Although, there is a modification where you can make it possible to upload files. I would be happy to install it if you aren't comfortable with doing it yourself. Feel free to email me.
