It depends... Do you TRUST EVERYONE to have upload privleges?
Here's how I run my board.
1. The primary part of the Board is open to the PUBLIC.
2. I have a special GROUP for selected "members".
3. I have some Forums which are only open and viewable by "members".
4. I have a couple of Gallery Forums open to "members".
5. Any "member" can upload 3 photos at a time to a Gallery.
6. All photos in the "members" forums can be "linked" to in any of the public forums -- therefore viewable by all.
This may seem like a a lot of work, but it serves TWO purposes very well - by allowing open forums for the public, and "members" forum for 'approved' people with full photo upload permissions.
---Maybe I overly complicated my response to you. Sorry. The answer to your question was "YES"... if you create a GALLERY forum, then you can give upload privleges to whomever you want to .
