This is great instructions for those people who are stuck using  Windows devices.  I have a Windows 10 laptop which I use for a particular Chess application, but compared to my Apple MacBook Pro running Sierra, the Windows OS  sucks big time...   I used to be an software engineer that programmed (and used as an enduser Windows devices). NOT ANY MORE.  9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for.  Please update your outdated instructions!

 

Instructions in this topic were written by a normal user (I don't believe the OP was staff) and were based on the old site. For the most part, the process is very similar in the new version and being an browser-based app/process it should be pretty much identical across operating systems since the browser is what is doing the display.

The moment you click on the chessboard icon to insert a PGN/FEN, it balloons over all other tabs making it nearly impossible to navigate on Mobile.

Taking control or minimizing the size of the board adds to the difficulty.

Yeah, it isn't designed to do on mobile. It can be done but you should really use a full PC/browser for that.
