Maybe they aren't indexed because they aren't physically part of your site? I don't know... You can try uploading them to your site or making sure "alt" and "title" attributes are applied to all of the images. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help

They won't get indexed as being part of your site since they aren't physically part of your site. If you want to have images that are posted in the forum draw in people from image searches, you will need to host the images yourself, which is often done by using a photo gallery script such as Gallery2.

Is this issue resolved now? If you want them to be indexed, why not use a gallery mod as mentioned? All images should be within your website and should be indexed by Google and others.
