I've just spent the best part of the last two hours trying to find an alternative method of posting images on the forum, and it boils down to just two :
Firstly, use the forum image hosting software, or secondly use a remote host such as PhotoBucket. Both work perfectly well, I've tried both methods within the last thirty minutes and all is fine with either method.
The PhotoBucket option is a good way of posting images on the forum as it saves our server space. And don't be afraid of losing your images if there's ever a problem with PhotoBucket, they remain on our forum, so should you need to download them again, you can.
I've also investigated if it may be worth our while upgrading our forum software to a more advanced version, and basically...it's not. The photo imaging software remains the same, regardless of which version is in use, so you'd still have to use the same method of uploading images and the same software. I've also investigated whether it may be worth our while to completely rebuild the forum using another server and different software, but that would mean an awful lot of work and more financial outlay for not a great deal of gain. All we would really gain is the use of more knobs and buttons to confuse our members, some of which struggle to use what we have now, so I don't really think that's a feasible option...just look at the problems Model Boat Mayhem are having with their change of server and software.
If there's anyone who is still having problems uploading images, then try the PhotoBucket option...if you still have problems, then by all means contact me and I'll write up a full step by step instruction post of how to go about it.
