I'm guessing Chess.com is considering these invalid is because of the pawn placements. In your first FEN, both sides start with pawns on the 8th which means they should have received promotion (it is illegal in chess rules to have a pawn on the 8th rank). For your second FEN, pawns start on the 1st rank - this is also an issue because of pawn special move rules (first pawn move can be two squares and also en passant).
FEN #1
FEN #2
I'm new to to chess and chess.com.
I like setting up funny stupid chess games for me and my friends to play.
I like to save the setups for the games so we could replay them later at any time, but a couple of them won't load and I don't know why.
This is one that won't load:
[Event "sideways chess"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "hi mom!!!!!!"]
[Black ":)"]
[Result "*"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "rp4PR/np4PN/bp4PB/kp4PK/qp4PQ/bp4PB/np4PN/rp4PR w - - 0 1"]
[WhiteElo "23"]
[BlackElo "143"]

It tells me that the king can't be taken first turn and also that there has to be exactly one king of each colour. There is exactly one king of each colour, and neither begin in check. Both of these criteria are met, therefore it should work - but it just doesn't.
I have no clue why.
This is another one I can't get to load:
[Event "Alphabetical Order Off"]

Same thing as the other one- it should work by its own standards, but it just doesn't.
I've gone to other websites and pasted in the PGNs, and they worked, but for some reason on Chess.com specifically, they don't.
