I don't know a great deal about this hack, but I was wondering if it might be possible to use something like this as a basis for getting thumbnails into the forum.
If the threadid was included as a prefix in the attachment filename, and I created a cron job that would periodically create thumbnails, The forum could display some recently uploaded images, and a separate script could display them and link to the respective thread where they appear.
It would give you a visual preview of some recent uploads.
Also in lieu of the actual large attachment, the preview image could be displayed inline with the message.
Regards,
Matt
