You know you can edit your posts, and any diagram that is in them, right?

I don't think you can, I'd have to do it all over again, and it took me a while the first time, stubborn_donkey very helpfully put up the right one anyway.

You click on FEN/PGN and copy the content to the clipboard then paste in notepad so that you have a copy.

Then you can edit the post, add a new diagram, put in the PGN position from the clipboard or copy from notepad and then you can edit the new diagram, delete the old one and submit the changed post. Make sure you keep the backup in notepad until you have finished the action.

( Above you can see the longest mate which was ever composed - it is my mate-composition with mate in 552 moves from the year 2015 )

Dr.Otto Blathy (1860-1939) specialized in such problems. They were his kingdom! He has composed mates in 137 , 214 , 265 moves , etc. I read somewhere that he composed a "mate in 342" but I still haven't found this one!!

You mean four.

Shouldn't the longest problem just be from starting board position?
