How to insert a game into a post

I can't get this to work. I've seen https://www.chess.com/article/view/how-to-use-the-chesscom-diagr and that's ten years out of date.

Here's an attempt

So I clicked on the little board icon above this post, pasted a FEN, made about three moves each side, it ends in checkmate win for Black. Clicked Insert. Back to this draft post. But before I click Post, all I see so far is a grey checkerboard with a dimmed pencil icon in the middle. No moves, no pieces, nothing else.

Please, what am I doing wrong or missing?

Oh, it worked! but I didn't know that until after I committed it by clicking Post. It gave every impression of NOT having worked.

Please may I humbly suggest, could the help article I quoted above, be updated? I'd be pleased to be a guinea pig to test or comment on a new version.

Thankyou for paying attention

@manekapa, Thankyou very much! I hadn't seen that. I shall read it all the way through, including the comments, carefully. I'm glad this has been so well done. Batgirl obviously went to a lot of trouble to set it all out, so thankyou to her, too.

I still think this help article should be updated. Just point at batgirl's forum article instead?

But I'm managing very nicely now, thanks to manekapa, batgirl and not forgetting all the very clever folk who coded this facility in the first place.
