Sometimes it's just that the board is too busy to cope with the amount of 'traffic', which is why annesthreads gets hers to load later. Other times it's the picture file size.
As cameras get better, they use more pixels to produce a better quality picture. Picture 'memory' can also increase with the amount of colour, density etc in the picture, making the file too big for the board. Bit like trying to get a pillow in a cushion cover. In order to get the picture to load it has to fit the amount of 'room' allowed.
If you have your picture saved onto your computer, right-click on it and several options will appear. Click on 'Open with' and several picture programmes will appear. I like Microsoft Office as it's really easy, but other programmes already on your computer will have the same features.
Once you're in your chosen programme, click on 'Edit', then on right hand side (in MS Office) find 'Resize'. You'll have options to either choose % of picture size or Pixel size. With the camera I'm using at the moment, 75% of the original is fine. Save the now changed image to your picture folder and upload as normal.
Hope this works for you
