Internet Explorer has numerous major technical and aesthetic flaws that put it well behind W3C compatibility, hence why you can't upload pictures. Most versions don't support gradients or border radii, or even basic HTML5 (IE9 and IE10 are better with those, so I've heard), not to mention its JS incompatibilities. Microsoft stalwartly refuses to follow global internet standards, thus IE is incapable of displaying pages correctly in an absurdly large number of instances. Before I started writing this message (about two minutes ago), I launched IE. It's been trying to connect since, and just crashed. Not even close to a product worthy of the masses.
