Is there a way to upload images to this site or do I have to host my own?

No, this is phpBB2 forum, so all images that you want to be posted here have to be hosted outside this website.

It is an old website, but on the other hand, it is much safer for database.

This is true depending on what the database is.

I run www.jammaplus.com

It is quite a demanding job running that forum but it is modern and even so does still have its own problems.

Yup, bulletin board is the same engine, like - for example - on EAB. But I think phpBB is more user friendly and well-arranged. Both engines have pros and contras.

Do what I do. Click Post new message on Lemon64 and upload the picture. It uploads to postimage.org. Then I copy it from there to here. Now, I don't save it on Lemon64.com. I just close the window.

On a side note, they are both phpBB and copyrighted the same. So it means it the same version (or close to it). So they could modify the code here to support it.

True imageshack is good. I tried hosting a few pic with them before I made my own website with registered domain and web space and just put all my photos on there. I like that a lot better as I have complete control over how they are represented and so forth.
