I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since I’ve been on this forum

I know I am a reclusive person - much more online I’ve found out. The lock down(s) have been heaven for me as I haven’t had to deal with anybody that isn’t related to me.
Far from negatively affecting my mental health it has been a really nice break.
I have found hidden talents that I’d forgotten about, mainly digital art and poetry..well digital art because I wouldn’t be able to afford real life art supplies...
However, my sense of time is way off.
So
I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since I’ve been on this forum

    Were all different @sazza i enjoyed less people at work, at the shops and on the streets.
    Although i still worked i found i was more chilled in lock down, perhaps that was due to having no social life, i don't know.
    Do you still have a look on the site to see what we are talking about.

    @SueHeath embarrassingly not my hermit like behaviour applied to the internet as well. I said goodbye to all my social media, it lifted a great weight from my heart and soul. 
    ....I haven’t found a reply button so I’ve quoted you instead.

    Nice to see you although don’t think we have met as I’ve been here about 3 years :D 

    I can’t think of anything better for your online mental health than ditching antisocial media. Horrible horrible stuff. Well done for doing that.

    I personally enjoyed the lockdown too for various reasons…quieter shops, no traffic on the roads, everything was cleaner (I have OCD), people kept their distance…etc…

    Are you able to share any of your art or would you rather keep it to yourself :)

    PS if you just want to reply you should scroll to the bottom of the page and there should just be a box to type in.

    I would love to post some of my art but I am having so much trouble using this site. I can’t seem to reply in a thread - I know it’s ‘operator error’ can some kind soul point me in the direction of a ‘how to’ ?

    There’s not a “how to” that I know of unfortunately, hopefully someone else will prove me wrong.

    However if you scroll down on the page you should see this box to type a reply in. Also if you hit the button I pointed the arrow at you should be able to attach a picture.

    A how to guide of sorts is something we really want to have on the community at some point, with articles and videos detailing how to do common actions. In the meantime though I hope the fantastic responses from members on this thread have been helpful in explaining a couple of the features :)

    Thank you all for your help using the site….. 
    I have attached some digital art - at the moment I’m taking photos and manipulating them to show hidden details

    I’m going to pat myself on the back for engaging with the forum for a few days.
    I am now returning to my hidey hole until next time.
    Thank you all, hopefully it won’t be so long until I’m back.
