Trying to create a puzzle using PGN and FEN

Hi, 

I am trying to create puzzles in v3 using a PGN file. I can do it in v2, but don't see the option in v3. I can post the complete game, but I haven't figured out how to turn it into a puzzle.

 

Here's an example:

Trying again...

I can't see while creating the puzzle whether I have succeeded. There's no dialogue box that comes up asking if this is the right position or anything. I can't preview the moves the way I can in v2. 

 

Please help!

I'm struggling as well. I go back to the old version, do the position and then go back to V3.

It worked for me. I solved the puzzle.

You do it just like you do a normal game snippet. There is a checkbox under Theme to make it a puzzle

Martin, how can I preview the puzzle before posting it?

There isn't a preview. You can look at the moves tab to make sure all the moves are correct but that's all I see.

I hope that as you were typing this you realized how counter-intuitive that is, and how difficult it is to find.

I'm not a developer here. I had to figure it out myself the first time I tried it. I don't think it is a terrible option but understand it probably isn't ideal. It does allow one dialog to do all types of diagrams, without specifically asking what type at the start.

Maybe there is a better way.

Yeah. I did notice that some other coaches have been complaining about problems with live analysis functions. I don't use this site for my lessons, so it's not an issue for me. I do look forward to using the site at some point for my lessons.
