I think the forum does need updating, easier to post photos would be one thing.
I am slightly against the addition of like/dislike buttons, they are great for the ego when a post is smothered with "likes" but it can also work against a forumite. If someone is a little outspoken or makes themselves unpopular they will be hit with dislikes on every post (virtual stalkers take this to extremes). This could almost be classified as forum bullying and can certainly hinder open debates on controversial matters with some not bothering to post or dropping out - preferable to being seen to be unpopular.
The buttons are a mix of good and bad, but for me the bad can slightly outweigh the good so I would not have them.
