Will that show the latest images? Or just random?

I do not need to force someone to use a program. The fact that they are posting images to the forum and discussing it there, shows there is a demand for image discussions. I think its content discovery that is missing.

I do have new blogs added to the bottom of the new posts search. Im going to start using sphinx search. It would be nice if photopost would support sphinx.

Does that work for you? Does that cause your users to use the gallery? Or do they use the forum threads to discuss the images?
I only see an empty RSS forum on your site.

Forum, image gallery and facebook have a lot in common. Its all social media. I'd even say that facebook is the successor of forums to some degree. You can surely apply the success of certain facebook functions to forums. XenForo does that very well with their successful notification system.
