at the top of the comment box (where the font, bold, etc. is) click on the little chess board. should be fairly easy to click along and get your puzzle in.
don't think of this as me being lazy, think of it as teaching you to fish.

Is this it?
if so, copy the fen (click on "fen/pgn" lower left of board) and go to the chess board on the top left of the comment box. Follow the obvious instructions and paste the "fen" into the appropriate box. You should be able to supply a solution and insert the resulting board into a posting. Try it at any rate.
Thank you so very much Batgirl for seting it up, and planeden for the intructions, you are right on, I do want to learn. This is a problem I had at chess school, although I found the answer, in a real game it would have taken too long. The only credit I can take no one had to give me a hint or show the correct line. Thanks again for your replys!!
Well, Highlight below:
Qh4 looks good, KxQ, Rxh2# But after gxQ Re3 white has Bf3.
So, 1st Bxe6. Then Qh4.
Right?
Highlight below:
Qh4!! gxh4 Re6+ be6 (the principle of 2 weaknesses gets white mated), Bxe6! Qxe6 Rxf6#, very stylish mate, although i have found a mate that rivals this one at this link :P

Thank you both, too, because it also helped me.
Also, I need help: How can I post more than one quote?

From the diagram I thought Qh4+ gxh4 Re3+ Bf3 Bxe6 Qxe6 Rxf3#
So it's not clear why first take on e6
It's not clear to me why not first Qh4
Is it just flawed?
OK it was just forum distraction, the actual solution is correct and flawless
It comes from the game Oslouhov - Mikhail Nedobora 1990 but I find myself unable to retrieve the entire game score from the interwebs :(
heinzie, you got it right, no other move will work that will force mate.
Ans. 1......Qh4+, 2.gxh4 Re3+, 3.Bf3 Bxe6+, 4.Qxe6 Rxf3 mate
Often times many of us will play games and miss the perfect mateing pattern, oh well thats the difference between players, experts, and GMs But like that saying "what you do not see you do not miss"? hmmmmmm
Well I tried, all I got was the correct position, which helped alot, but when I went to drag the pieces to play out the answer, the pieces would just pop back into there original position. How can I possibly be a decent chess player if I cannot figure this out BatLady where are you?????
i think you clicked "game" instead of "puzzle" in the first dialog box. put your position in then hit "enter moves". that's where you enter the moves and move on.
edit - oh, kohai beat me. well, you should listen to her, she is smarter than i am.
First I want to say,"planeden" your one helpfull person, I will remember your name = good guy!!!! And thank Kohai, all I can say wow! I even go to my word pad, this is deep cannot getover how many got it. I will give it a try, see if I can check mate the concept, If not, maybe will give up chess,
So from which book did you retrieve this position? Was it a position given in a Heinzie Brunthaler book?
Post this problem for me me, I do not know how to do it, want to learn for sure!!
White; Rd1, Rb1, Ph2, Kh3, Pg3, Pa3, Pc4, Bd5, Pe6, Qc6.
Black: Rg8, Qd8, Bc8, Kb8, Pc7, Pb6, Ph5, Pc5, Re2
Black to move and force mate, It took me a while to get it, any one that gets it in little time, You are Good!!!!!!!!!
