Since the pictures are restricted to 250KB and 1024x768 resolution you may need to resize your pics before you upload them. A great free windows program called PhotoFiltre can be found by Clicking Here . It's a 1.6MB download but for free it is a nice utility for resizing your pictures as well as manipulating other aspects.
The creator has some other nice photo programs with more info found at the main page www.PhotFiltre.com

due to disk space limitations at the server, for the time being, individual post size limitations have now been set at 200k max per post

please size your photos to 800 x 600, and set the file size to below 200k

Someone please upload a couple of pics. I am tired of looking at Frank's car on the banner, even if the photos are most excellent.
