shortlinks (to point to games from external websites)

I feel there should be an easy way to share the current board to others in social network. Say an ability to create a shortlink that would take to a board with pieces (and any small notes one has left) - but not showing player names information.

 Any thoughts anyone ?

And it wont be tough at all on chess.com's part I feel. all we need is an url where to post the fen format, which will take care to present a board with that setting and allow the players to play around.(and see similar stuff like the "details" - where hte captured pieces are shown, and users can move back and forth.)

You can do this from a Vote Chess game. Clicking on Explore opens Game Explorer at the current position. From there, LINK TO PAGE gives you a URL you can use in the forums.

Hard to say. We have a new series on TV: The Private Life of Cows (plus chickens and sheep). Why can't people respect a creature's confidential space? It's one thing to hound celebrity cows; quite another to stalk private individuals.

I didn't realise that you can also click on Explore from the Moves tab in Online Chess.
