Yes! Quite. It took me longer to get to than I ever thought it would, but it required me learning the ins-and-outs of tacking onto the existing Tiki Central memberlist. We used to have a 3rd-party Gallery, and not only did it not tie into Tiki Central very well, we got HACKED because of it!

Overall I'm happy with how this is turning out and I hope that someday it will lead to bigger and better image-related features.

One suggestion... display the bbcode in a text box with a "copy to clipboard" button next to it. Then on the message editor page, you can add a "paste from clipboard" button that will paste the bbcode to the current cursor location. There is a way to do this that works quite well, but it only works in IE (but there may be a workaround). Here are a couple of links if you're interested:

Tutorial 1
Tutorial 2

Or, alternatively you could also just insert the bbcode directly into the editor at the current cursor location from the image upload page. No copying or pasting required. These are just some thoughts I had that I thought I'd share. As it is, it works great and is a BIG time-saver over using 3rd party image hosting sites. Rock on!
