When I read this I thought that was it, but I just realised thats not what he meant (chessnutz correct me if i am wrong)

What you do is

1. Click on the

2. Choose game or sequence of moves

3. Choose Start with blank board (or whatever you want)

4. Click create move list

5. drag the pieces around to make the moves in your game, adding comments in the comments boxes.

6. Then go next (or continue - i cant remember)

7. Enter the game details

8. THEN CLICK INSERT.

I think this is what you meant. Everything is copied to the text body. OK?

It's hard to know what he's doing wrong if he doesn't say what he's doing.

I am most embarrassed that i failed to see that HUGE BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM OF THE EDITOR BOX....RIGHT THERE  TWAS..like i was expecting to see when i started to  compose the  board.....literally  5 minutes  of looking.

thanks for  the responses and sorry for  wasting your time.

thanks  guys, but im afraid my problem isnt with  knowing how to use it...its more of a technical glitch in my windows....there is a bug in there somwhere that cuts off the bottom of the pop up window when i open the board editor page from the icon , that part contains the 2 insert /cancel buttons and i cant expand the screen box to fit the whole page , but i saw what its sopposed to look like and its there plain as day, just doesnt work when i need it on my browser for some reason . no oneelse seems to have this problem from what i can deduct from post searches.

why me?

dont answer that..... ;)

 

edit, 1 hour later...

so another facinating thing is when i refresh the pop up board editing page itself ..it gets smaller everytime .
