Tips and tricks to manage the photos in Connect
Im writing this post by request, so thanks to @Anonymous to give this opportunity.
As you may know, in Connect every member can post a maximum of 1000 photos. It is a big number, but if you are a compulsive user of "Photos and discoveries" Board, (like I was) you can reach the limit in a very short time.
Here you will find some useful tips to save space, without renouncing to post.
1) Uploading. Most of the photos in Connect are loaded, from a Computer or a Phone. Every photo you load is stored in your personal album, increasing by 1 the count of your loaded photos
This means that, if you load two or three times, in different posts, the same photo, the photo will be counted two or three times
If you want to use the same photo more than one time, follow me in the next step
2) Load from your album. Once a photo is loaded, you can reuse it many times, directly from your album:
When you click on "saved photos", you will find a page with the list of your album (yes, when loading photos, you can choose, or create, an album where to save it)
Now, with a click on the album, you will find your photos
Easy, and in this way you will avoid to loose space.
Now, before you go to open your album, to delete all the duplicated photo, whait a minute, because a mistake is always possible.
Remember this:
Next time we will see how to remove/replace a photo in a safe way, and how to add a photo from a link
Please, Post your reply, comment or question HERE.
All the reply MADE IN THIS POST WILL BE MOVED IN THE NEW REPLY AREA
Thanks

Removing Photos.
Removing photos is a simple operation, if you do in the correct way.
Let see how to proced with a simple example, creating a post that will be removed at the end of this test.
If you prefere a simple "step by step" procedure, please follow the link
Then we add two photos
and we save it into the post. All of you do this almost everyday
If we go to see our album, now we have two more photos:
what happen if we remove one?
the result in your post is this
Not so nice.
For this reason, remember that a photo Must be removed both from your Album and from your post.
this is the final result

Dear Sir @ErmesT
Thanks for sending your previous solved posts.
But I have one more question.
When I want to upload photo from my connect album, I can see three folders in my album.
All Photos(142), Hidden (BM63)(82) and Public (BM63) (60)
How can I delete all hidden photos ?
Please help me.

@BakulMehta, the procedure is always the same, as showed in my post.

Dear @ErmesT sir
When I open my album in connect, it doesn't show hidden album.
But it can be seen only when I try to reply any post and want to add photo from my saved album, I can see that hidden album but I can't delete any photos from that.
Pl help for this problem.

Hi @BakulMehta here is your hidden album.
Now, just to make this reply helpful for everyone: How to reach your hidden album?
Please note that this operation should be executed with the site in "desktop mode"
Click on one of your photos. The photo will open and, in the lover part of the pop-up, you will have a thumbnail of your other photos (all your photos)
Click over a thumbnail
on the left side you will see in which album the selected photo is. Scroll the photos, untill you find a photo that is in the Hidden album
Now, click on the album link (the one that I have circled in red) to reach your hidden album
