How to make diagrams (General)

? 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.

The Forum software is just a standard package that you download and as far as I am aware it is not possible to make any changes to it. Unless someone out there has some programming skills?

Anyway, it seems to me that all you have to do is write
http://www.france-echecs.com/diagramme/imgboard.php?fen=
and after the 'fen=' you simply paste the FEN of any diagram you want. Then select all this and press the 'Image' button to the right. You can get the FEN easily enough in ChessBase by doing a position setup (or press 'S') and then press the 'Copy FEN' button.
