Hey Joe,

I have a site running a forum and I get more and more the question how the users can upload images to use in the forum.
I know you can use the public image sites, but I guess users of these days are used to work with "attachments" in a forum.
So i did some research about what the best way is for this forum/CMS.
Things I tested:
1. File shared module: not interesting for using images in a forum since you really don't know the real path to the file.
2. Image gallery (simple folder version): I was hoping to give every user (yes, this would be a manual job unless I program something like a window service that checks some things and make a correct folder) his/her own folder so they can upload the image in that folder. But there is no security for that module . You can't give one person access to that specific folder.
3. Image gallery: this might be the solution: you can make for every use a image gallery (again manual work) and give that person permission to upload in that gallery. But if you setup the security, you see that the user can do more than just uploading images: changing the dimentions of the thumbnail/image, changing the feature instance title, hide van anonymous users, ... and that is not the purpose.

So my question Joe, what would you do let people upload images on the site and use it very easily in the forum? Any suggestion?

Thanks
Stef

Ok, thanks Joe.
