Trouble inserting chess analysis diagrams into vote chess

I am on Ubuntu using firefox.

I just have trouble getting the moves to progress / pieces to move.

I'll show you my issue, I can get to here:

But even though it's black's turn, when I try to move the pieces, it won't let me. What am I doing wrong?

Does it allow the opposite side to move instead? If so, then I encountered the same problem on my tablet. My solution was to make the moves rather than set the position, and then begin the game at the desired position (by setting a move to 'set begin').

Right WSama, I had a go in an even different way, and

wow, I actually made it work this time, after first doing set up board position>flip board, then I put cursor in the fen place, select with a>backspace, pasted the fen I had already copied and THEN i selected moves down the right bottom of the window, and it would let me put the pieces anywhere, even in illegal positions.

Finally xD

getting there

thanks very much for your input, first time in my life have seen such a fast fix for someone's issue xD

Thanks for the update. I might use that fix next time.

I found a similar way: set up the position, set turn to black or white, copy the FEN, close the diagram, open a new one and load position from FEN. It should work after that.

weird! am glad it worked that way also.
