I have never encountered this problem. I am building a site to sell some stuff. The main page has pictures with links on each picture to a second page with slide show and description. All with coffee cup software. It has been going fine, and now all of a sudden when I add a new pic and link - then upload - several pictures on the home page change to the last picture I added. The links still work correctly, but the picture is wrong! Is there some sort of limit to pages/pictures/links built into the software? Any suggestions of how to rectify this?
Thanks!

There are no limitations. Could we have a link to your site? We need to see the problem to be able to help.

The only thing is to watch your image naming format to make sure it doesn't match what VSD uses.
VSD names images with this format so just make sure the ones you add are setup different.:)

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

2 things, as Eric said name pictures carefully, even better still make then google friendly at the same time

Also with a bad instal of VSD i had an issue with the link tool changing all my replaced links as i did them to the homepage.

When adding a new picture, or linking a new page etc, its worth checking the order it is implimented in (ie) as per the instructions, deviating caused my problem, often when you select the (same frame self etc) it switches back to something else, ie a different image or page

Thanks everyone for your responses! I am going to re-install VSD and then rename the pics. That may be the problem.

Andre, its not a good idea to have your email address in the standard link format, once your page is well ranked, your inbox will be piled waist high in SPAM

The number 4 in there is good though, will cut it down a little

Ok - I changed the set up for the "email me here". Then I deleted the pics from within VSD then i renamed the pics and re-placed them then did a re-sync and we are good now! Here it is so far:
