We can add more custom thread fields (unlimited)  like the screenshot custom thread fields:

• Title: Screenshot
• Key: fscr
• Description: Upload a screenshot
• Applicable Forums: 'select the forum in point 1 or 2'
• Input Field Type: File
• Valid File Extensions: gif|png|jpg|jpeg
  Modify it as our needs.
• Maximum File Size: 1048576
  Modify it as our needs. Like the title says, it is a maximum image file size (in bytes) that can be uploaded.
• Editable by / Required Field?: Everyone (Required)
• Display Order: 3
• Only accept uploaded images: Yes
• Image Thumbnail Generation: 320x240|640x480
  

There are some changes we need to do for the additional custom thread fields:

• Key:
  Just remember that we need to use unique Key. So, we need to use other Key for the additional custom thread fields, for example: fscr2, fscr3 and etc.
• Editable by / Required Field?: (optional change)
  If the additional screenshots are not required, we need to choose the Everyone option. Or we can set which usergroup(s) have a permission to upload more screenshots using that custom thread fields.
• Display Order:
  Maybe we need to re-order the custom thread fields related to this forum.
• Image Thumbnail Generation: (optional change)
  We can change the thumbnail size if we want it to be different from the first one.
• Display Format:
  If the additional custom thread fields are not required, maybe it's better to put the layout inside the Display Format, for example:
  
  HTML Code

  <a href="{URL}" target="_blank"><img src="{URL}/thumb320x240" alt="" title="" /></a>

  Change the 320x240, depends on the Image Thumbnail Generation setting for that custom thread field.
  Then, put this kind of variable in our templates:
  

  Code:

  {$GLOBALS['threadfields']['fscr2']['value']}

  Change the fscr2, depends on the Key setting for that custom thread field.
  With this way, if there is no additional screenshots uploaded (if this custom thread field is not a required field), there is no "broken" image will be displayed (for some browsers).
  Or, we can set the Blank Replacement Value setting to define a default image to be displayed if there is no additional picture uploaded from this field. Example:
  

  HTML Code

  <img src="path_to_default_image" alt="" title="" />

If you meant that the file stored in other location (not via custom thread field), use Textbox for the File Upload. When creating a new thread, type the URL in it. Example:
