If by promote you are talking about moving the pawn forward.
Promote to me means crossing the board with a pawn to the other side and Promoting to a Queen or something else.
If you are talking about promoting the pawn to challenge the Queen after move six it's because you would be in check by the bishop if you were to do that, so as you can't put yourself into check that is the why.

I have a white pawn on b7 attacking a black rook on a8. I try to capture the rook
on a8 and chose a Queen but I am unable record it. I must be doing something wrong. Help!! Somebody please tell me how to record it.

Can't see anything amiss so make the capture, submit move and the site will then prompt you for the promotion - Queen, Rook, Knight etc.

Thanks Skeeter, now I know how to do it. I was trying to promote before submitting the move.
This question comes up a bit too often. I'm just not sure RHP can prompt the user to pick a promotion piece BEFORE the submit move button is clicked.
