In the core settings, I am having issues and am getting errors when I go to upload the photo.

The core settings suggest: [i.e. /var/www/home/forum/productphotos]

So I assume my path would be /public_html/test/forum/productphotos ?

That's really not something I can answer as every server is different.

1. This path needs to be from root, so in this case you are stating that /public_html/ is your first level folder, that sounds unlikely for most linux boxes but if you view the folder via FTP you can quickly confirm if anything is actually going into it.

2. The other path is a display link that corresponds to where images in that folder appear relative to your site. Thus if you're placing them in the /forum/ level folder [from web-root] the path would be /forum/productforums/.

I am just a bit confused on how to set my paths. Also I assume that will affect the image view url?

If the path is wrong the image can't be created so yes, that would impact things

The second issue I am having is getting the image to show as the forum thread image. So when the member goes to the forum section reviews, they would see the product image to the left of the thread description etc.

Please read the install guide. This is not done out of the box and requires code hacking.

Do we have to create this image ourselves, or is there a way it will make the image resized itself? I am able to make it work by adding the url to the image file i just resized but was not sure if once I get the upload to work, if it'll automatically do this for me

External urls are not resized. Uploaded or synced images [you can have the script sync urls] are.
