I asked recently how one inserts into A2k threads and was told it is quite simple well if it was that simple wouldn't have posed the question in the first place.Was told to search the A2k forums so went to computers and after searching dozens of threads couldn't find anything appro to this subject so Dutchy a little help in the right direction would be appreciated.Unfortunately I didn't grow up with computers but came into it at a late stage of life so I need a little help now and again.You can't teach an old dog new tricks is appropriate in my case.Have very much appreciated the help from A2k contributers in the past and hope to keep this going.THANKS philcottie.

@Rockhead,
I was confused too. What do you mean "insert" ? What are you inserting? You've participated on various threads over 600 times according to your profile?

@Green Witch,
He might mean photographs (from a website or his own computer) or links to articles.

@philcottie,
What are you exactly asking about? Are you asking about inserting illustration/photographs? Inserting links? Please BE SPECIFIC.

@edgarblythe,
I was referring to a thread in Trivia and word games/lovatts but because I am computer illiterate was almost impossible for me to comprehend so think I will forget the whole thing,thanks to those who did try to help but at 85 is beyond me and will have to try to not be so ambitious.philcottie
