You can attach the pics right to your forum posts in the meantime, until you get the gallery sorted.
When you're on the "Post Reply" page, click the "Additional Options" link below the text area, there are options down there for attaching up to 5 pics per forum post. Pics must be 256K or less to post this way, so downsize some copies if necessary.
You can also use a photo hosting site like Flickr or something, then just link the pics here.
