My FEN string is "improper"?

Hey Chess.com

Im trying to create a diagram with a game. However, the setup is different from the normal setup.

The game starts like this:

kqnr4/rnbb4/4pppp/4pppp/PPPP4/PPPP4/4BBNR/4RNQK w - - 4 1 

When I post it into the diagram it says the FEN string is improper? How can I get it to be displayed?

And once I got the FEN, am I afterwards able to add the PGN?

Thanks for the help!

This is one of the many random & sporadic glitches present at chess.com

I'm getting the same message in both FireFox & Google Chrome Browsers.

You can try using them and IE8, and also see if you can get any other FEN string to work for now.

Make absolutely sure you are cutting & pasting the entire FEN string exactly and if it still don't work contact Help & Support and/or see my blog for other ideas, altho I'm not sure if any will help  here

ok, thanks! Will try IE

Well I got what I wanted.. instead of using the FEN, I just pasted the entire PGN including all the analyis of houdini into the PGN-thing of chess.com. And there's the game!

chess.com you are amazing!

I'm chagrined I didn't think of that...using a PC definitely encourages the user to start honing their problem-solving abilities!

I enterthe FEN string in a new puzzle "Load FEN"

6RK/7p/8/5N2/8/8/8/6k1 w - - 0 1

and i get the error: "Improper FEN string. Please try again."

I modify the string to this and its accepted (although there's now 2 white kings!)

6RK/7p/8/5N2/8/8/8/6K1 w - - 0 1

Tried with Chrome and IE (Edge)

The first FEN string IS improper. The black king is in check, yet it's White to move.
