Can you outline the steps you are going through to add pictures?

Specificially:
- where are you uploading them from? Or are you linking to a website where they reside?
- is size an issue? Exactly what are you seeing when you try to upload a picture?

This type of information would be help us to help you.

It may be either the format or the size may not be recognized by the system. What type of file is it? Jpeg, Gif, Bmp... ???

If you right click on the image, it should tell you how big it is. However, to take it one step further, you may want to download an image manipulation program like Gimp: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/.

Gimp is like Photoshop, but FREE. You would then be able to resize & save the image to a format that is acceptable for the board.

Bonne chance,
