The "link to" box can be used to add a custom link to anyplace you want to go. Just click the drop down menu and choose the custom URL and add where you would like the picture to link to.

You may also open the advanced options by clicking on the arrow and use the title attribute box for explaining where the picture link will take the visitor.

Go to the link and hold your curser over any picture:

Some of them have started working now. I think it was just a minor WordPress glitch, as a couple of other members were also experiencing the same problem

I have had that happen in the past. Give it a bit of time, it could be a glitch that fixes itself. :) If it does not work by tomorrow, make out a ticket on it if you can.
