Forum Recommendations

I'd like to get some recommendations for good forum software.

Requirements include:
  • the ability to totally manage registration to the board (only letting in those that are approved)
  • the ability to upload pictures to posts easily

Any suggestions?
 
Is free a necessity?

If you need free, phpbb would be a good choice, but I don't remember if picture upload is a standard feature. Either way, it could be added and fit your qualifications.

Free is not necessary.

Of the last three, vBulletin is the definite winner. I've heard, though, that SMF is really good too.

For the win. I think smf may have a plugin or something for wysiwig inputs? You could always try integrating something like tincymce into it, too.
 
I've gone with SMF. I may put a WYSIWYG editor into it later.

I like the layout a bit more than vbulletin.

Thanks for everyone's input!
