Can't post PGN string in board diagram

I'm trying to publish a couple of my games on my Chess.com blog, but when I copy/paste the PGN info into the diagram dialog box, it chops it off at the ninth move!

These are heavily annotated games with many variations. They were annotated in Scid vs. PC and exported as PGN from the same program.

Can anyone (staff?) explain this and offer help? Thanks.

Read THIS.

Well, thanks for the reply, but that really doesn't say anything about this problem that I can see.

Hmmm...try posting here instead of your blog and see if it works?

Maybe there is a limit on size of the pgn, if you have really a LOT of variations and annotations.... I'm guessing, dunno.

Good idea, here's a try... 

And the same problem!

That does not seem very long.

What happens if ou paste your pgn into notepad? Does that show the whole thing?

Instead of exporting as pgn, in SCID try to Copy game to clipboard from the drop down menu in the Notation tab, and paste from our clipboard.

Yes, it's all selected. I'll try your idea.

OK; here's the PGN text.

{Lessons learned

1. Pay attention to your own pins, and get the maximum value out of them! Plan around them. Or rather, see what tactical strengths you already possess and form a plan around them.

2. If you don't really have any pawn structure, formulate your attack around points where you have strength or where your opponent has weakness.

3. Don't move your king unnecessarily.}

I copied exactly what ou posted, here's the result

Hmmm, very strange, I wonder if it might be a broweser issue?

Cool, that was clever.

Thanks a lot! That clears things up.

I had a similar problem.  I finally got my pgn accepted when i deleted my scid annotator informants  ( D for depth, +/-, +=, etc.)  Once I removed 100% of them, then it took my pgn.  Of course, i had to remove them using a text editor, as there was no way (that I know) to do it from scid.  Strange.
