johnst Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 So my wife and I decided to go to the north east last Tuesday and found a nice B&B in Bridlington and went up Wed evening for two evenings. Well worth the gamble because I got set up in the harbour area and at about 11.40 a big break in the clouds came our way and lasted about 35 mins. Was hoping for last contact but the clouds were to thick, but it was really exciting with people walking past and enquiring! Oh dear, first time on this section so don't know how to post a couple of images!! Please advise. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottletopburly Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Upload to gallery first , then you can add to a post John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnst Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Thanks for that but how do you upload to the gallery, it's different to the SGL, or is it me!?! Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Click on new and select gallery image, then create a new album (assuming you don't have one already). You can then upload your images to it. Once uploaded you can insert one or more of the images in it into your post. (More of a phaf than most sites but easy enough once you get used to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnst Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sorry Clive, really not sure about this, you said click on new and select gallery, can't find 'new' - I assume it's in my profile!! Can anyone please help. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sorry John, I should have said 'Create New'. On my phone it's the '+' symbol at the top of the screen, it's '+ Create' on my PC. Click on it and select 'Gallery Image' and you should then have the option to 'Create New Album'. Once you've created an Album you will be able to select it and upload images to it. Any image from your album can then be inserted into a post by clicking on 'Other Media' at the bottom right of the post, selecting 'Insert Existing Attachment' and choosing the desired uploaded image. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnst Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Well, I get as far as 'Insert image from URL' so how do I get images from my pictures files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnst Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Ok, so I've got to the next stage, selected a pic of the eclipse and '1 file was larger than the maximum file size of 1,024kB, and was skipped' and so I clicked OK, how do I reduce the file size? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Depends upon what image processing software you have. You've got 3 options to reduce the file size. 1 Select a higher compression when saving the JPG (poorer image quality). 2 Crop the original image. 3 Keep the full image but rescale to a smaller size. How much over the size limit is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnst Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I've checked the 2 images I want to upload and they are - 1.78mb and 2.10mb and the maximum file size is 1,024kb, not sure how you determine the difference. I'm hoping that I can reduce the file size easily otherwise I'm going to struggle to put any pics on EMS, can anyone else help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
