When you say you used the chess wizard "with no luck", what do you mean? Does the wizard not load, do you not understand how to use it, or do you go through it and not have a game actually come up?
how to use Analysis on this site
Sort:
I'm unable to 'paste' a pgn score into it (copy/paste does not work). I've not noticed any other means to add a game score to it, short of perhaps manually playing a game through it, and annotating that as I go along.

Hmm. Well, first off, I can confirm that this is NOT a premium feature - I've used this in the past.
Could you try pasting in the following PGN, just to make sure it's not a problem with bad PGN somehow? This is a game I previously posted, so it should work.

Well, of course it worked for YOU. I was wondering if it worked for sftac.
I've no difficulty with 'your' pgn as you can see. How did you get your pgn to paste into your post? I've been using 'get pgn' which saves it as a file on my PC, and then trying to copy/paste that back onto this site.

That's exactly how I get the PGN.
The only thing I can think of is, the program you use to open the file is somehow changing something? Like, sometimes Word will put slanty quotation marks in place of normal ones, and this can confuse programs. I use Notepad, and that works fine.
I'm using Notepad, too, but 'paste' does not retain a copy of something for this site when I attempt to paste it, even into one of these posts as mere .txt. I'm using I.E., so I suppose I should try Firefox as that's sounding like a browser setting. Good to hear this is not one of the many disabled settings encountered by non-premium members (so, I'll keep trying).

Well, clearly, Firefox has no problem pasting here (so, one of my I.E. settings appears to be preventing this). Thanks for helping pin down the problem.

ps. A bit of research (googling for others who've had this type of problem with I.E. 8), shows that you must apparently use I.E.'s Tools to add this site to the (older sites?) "compatibility" view category (at which point, I find pasting .txt into areas of this site works fine).
a) is this feature enabled for non-premium members?
b) how do you get it to work? (and yes, I've tried a few ways, elsewhere and with the 'chess wizard' here during a post, with no luck).
I'm not referring to the 'computer analysis', but just loading/pasting pgn into an analysis area and adding annotations, for posting here
