You can put images into phpBB messsages if the settings allow it. If you're not happy with them then you might do a search at somplace like HotScripts.com. They have a number of free forum packages listed.

Did you check out the hacks and mods available for phpbb? I know there are various ones available for images, so one might do what you want.

I think you need to read the phpBB documentation and support forums more thoroughly... custom/user-uploaded avatars are, indeed, possible in phpBB (specifically 2.x) -- as a standard feature, in fact.

As for photo gallery software, here are previous Webmasterworld threads on the topic [google.com] which you may find useful.

I don't know if you found a script already but scriptsearch.com is also a good resource

Using both custom avatars and including remotely-hosted (hotlinked) images in forum posts is the standard way of doing things in PHPbb.

I thought this was written in some sort of secret code at first.
