In the forum, how can i allow people to post like pictures and/or video embed code or something… maybe even a custom field dropdown.

Via plugins.

Forum attachments for BP:

oEmbed for BP:

Use the oembed plugin, the forums attachment plugin, and either the tinyMCE plugin, rich’s toolbar solution or mine.

That should cover all the bases.

Hah. Answer collision, but I win for completeness.
