Yeah geek, it's all chmod 777. Tried it again, and any uploaded images to my folder from the gallery upload page is chmod 600. Since I am user 1, my root is:
/var/www/html/forums/gas/images/1

I guess you will have to add a chmod command then.

I'm wondering if my members would go to the trouble with making thumbnails, wouldn't it be better if instead of having all these seperate folders for stock images, we can instead just have a master folder containing all of them as a option? I have several categories that will use the same set of icons.

Also, I have made some standard images and noticed a couple things. I select a image already loaded in from my forum ID folder. This works great, but I also notice that it makes a copy of that image in my ID folder as well. Also, if I use the same image for another thread as a header image, it will make another copy of the same image, add a number in front of it, and place it in my ID folder. In other words, 3 articles use the same image, but use 3 seperate image files.

Here's a sample page: article page
If you notice, all 3 images are the same, but the system assigns a different file name to each of them, and this image is selectable directly from the gallery upload page

Wouldn't it be better to instead not even have it make a image at all and place it in the posters folder, just link to that forum ID file? That way the server wouldn't have to work to display 3 images that are the same, just has to do it once. Save a lot of space as well. (By the way, those 3 files were automatically chmod to 777)
