Diagrams:
Just been trying with the FEN diagrams via the France Echecs site. I'm no computer expert (and my GSCE French can get me a coffee and a croque-monsieur but little else) and I've struggled to get them up easily.

I wondered if it would be possible to add another button beside the Message text box (when you write your forum messages eg under the Link and Image buttons) which would enter the information to the France Echecs diagram site (eg up to the ?fen= and the final [/img]. We could then add the diagram information after clicking the button.

For information re FEN Notation Wikipedia exaplains it well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forsyth-Edwards_Notation
