Hi, I keep getting this error when adding pictures to an album. I tried reszing my pictures and changing browsers but it still happens.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have not seen that, and frankly I did not think the forum had a limit. Of course I'm talking about threads, not albums ?
I know some threads load fairly slow, so I saved a picture or two from the thread to find that the picture are 4+MB each, and like 3 or 4 thousand pixels wide! that is freeking ridiculous. There should be a limit, or an automatic resizing program to run on them.
In fact I came to this sub forum thinking of starting a thread to say just about that.
Going to find an example right now.

First picture on that page is 3000 X 4000 pixels @ 5.1 MB, and there are MANY pictures on that page, how many, I do not know it takes so long to load I quit. I have a decent internet connection, we can watch 3 different youtube videos at the same time. But these picture sizes are just so damn ridiculous. They are ten times bigger than need to be, 1600 X 1200 pixels average about 500K and are PLENTY big enough to view on a computer, or webpage. We not printing posters.

I tried resizing my pics down to 600kb but the same thing still happens.
I know, I don't get it either. My albums are full of pictures from the same camera. Thanks for your replies though 
Can't Upload Pictures
When I try to load pictures into my album most of the time it fails. Every once in a while it will succeed but that's only around 5% of the pictures on my hard drive.

Thanks, my pictures are coming directly from my camera in jpg format, but let me check the data to be sure something isn't fishy.
yea try the steps, to save them into a non onedrive folder on the hdd
I just drag them out of my DCIM folder to the desktop, but I'll check after work, OneDrive does weird stuff in the background sometimes.
Thanks! I look forward to fully participating in threads again.
probably it tries to synchronize attached machines like phones or other sources
