Janice, I have found that the loading of pictures is a hit or miss adventure. Sometimes it just does not happen. But if you try early in the morning that seems to be best. Late at night they must do maintenance, and during the day maybe the site gets busy. The pictures do seem to load easier in the albums than on the thread and I am not sure why that is. Must be some way they have their programs set up.
Also I have two cameras, and Olympus and a Cannon, the Cannon seems to have less trouble, so I try to take pictures with that one if I can. There could be a ton or reasons why, but it is beyond my understanding. Good Luck.
I received two beautiful blocks from Jaba today, thanks so much I love them both! I will post pic's tomorrow.
