when posting a reply or topic on the options for the message box should be a button that looks like a chess board click that.

Actually....I found posting games bewildering, too.

Hints:

1. Create the game first, write the text second.

2. You may need two screens, one for the game you want to post, and two for the game that will be seen on the post.  You replicate the moves of the real game onto the game that will be seen on the post.  Maybe there's a Copy & Paste mechanism somewhere that someone can alert me/us to, but I can't find it.

Can't say much about puzzles.

Hope it helps!

Someone correct me if you know an easier way.  Thanks.

Bingo.

 


Erik, or anybody who knows--is there a way to take a finished game and plop it into the Diagram Editor (so I don't have to manually copy every move)?

um, I've read the help several times.  Maybe I'm really missing something. (?)
