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
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?
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.
ugh, im chessnutz.....aka numb####
ok....call me freakin nutz ...now i know i wasnt , i just went to do it again and what i saw on the board editor wasnt what i saw a few minutes ago ....now the 2 boxs "insert " and "cancel" at the bottom of the screen on the editor box isnt there any more!...is it my browser maybee?...but it was just there! ......good grief!....
i retract my self belittling statements to declare shenanigans!!!!
lol...just kiddin ....ill figure it out, i know it does exist...kinda like the lock ness monster and bigfoot does
why do i always get messed with at 8 in the morning.
ok, weird as it seems, i figured it out.
it will not load the full board editor pop up screen when my browser page is maximized....go figure.
stupid...
Here is an article which may be useful for many of you:

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 .
so i just spent an hour composing a game with board annotation and commentary and i couldnt get the board to load into the message body...what am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance.
