    Welcome Ashley! :)
    Hi! Not sure what you are doing wrong so let's go with this>>>
    ~
    Make your photos 480x640 or vice-versa.
    ~
    Write your comment and try this little trick I use to keep sentences unbroken and the photos listed after the comment>>>> Hit enter after your last sentence to open a new sentence line. To keep a space between your comments and the photos put a ~ then hit enter and do the following.
    >Hit the (Upload a File) button.
    Choose 1 photo.
    Load it on your comment.
    Use the Enlarge option. (We usually don't want to have to enlarge each one ourselves to see them though if you have many photos you may want to leave the less important ones small.)
    Repeat this process for each photo you load.
    Have fun!

    Many members won't click on a link so you should try to post directly on the board to get the most responses.

    The spoons appear to be 1930s British silver plate.

    I agree with af on British and plated. Not sure of date, but it probably doesn't matter much.

    I've taken the liberty of editing all your pics: cropping, contrast, enlarging because it is nearly impossible to even begin to ID makers as they were. Yes, they are all plated. From the left the first 3 spoons are electroplated - they are marked with (EP). The 4th spoon is Britannia plate - marked with (BP). The marks on the far left item is impossible to make-out. I guess its a pencil? I haven't had time to research the makers. Maybe someone can help on the makers; however, because they are plated, the ID the maker will probably make no difference in value.

    BTW, the A in a circle denotes the quality of silverplate used.

    "The best quality was 'A1' or 'AI', lower level was 'A', next level was 'B', followed by level 'C', and the lowest level was 'D'.
    "A = Standard Quality = 24 grams on 12 pieces = 2 grams per table spoon or table fork."

    There is a free app called Photo Resizer HD, it crops, resizes, flips and rotates - very simple, with unobtrusive advertising. Snapseed, which is the editing app I use, for some reason has no resizing function...
