hi @caesarhills,
forums are managed by bbpress who brings also the text editor.
This TinyMCE editor – identical to the one you have in the admin or on the blog – comes in a very light version, by default.
He’s not intended to be used by any user like the complete version with the media upload.
For a simple security reason, it is not recommended to allow media upload to everyone.
If you need such a feature, you have to find another solution to allow your user to share their pictures. This can be done on a profile with buddydrive, or within a group with buddydrive or bp group documents.
