    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong:-
    I go to the "get fen" link and copy and paste into the box which comes up when I go to the insert fen link on the forum post but I always get invalid fen.
    Pgn's work fine

    I just did this with no problem. I cut and pasted the fen from one of my games and made sure there were no spaces at start and end of the fen info. between the bracket and the pasted text. In this case I did not use the link you mentioned, but just typed in the square brackets and the fen and /fen text.

    I did this one by using the "insert fen" link you mentioned. It seems to work as well.

    When you copied and pasted your fen string, did you happen to get a blank space in somehow, at the start or end of what you copied?

    Sorry, I'm getting the terms confused.
    The Fens work for me also,it's the pgn's(interactive boards) that give the error.
    This it what it says in FAQ
    In order to display an interactive board within a forum post you will need to enter the following code when writing your post:

    As an example, to view the Immortal Game, you would post this :

    Well it worked, but the error message is still there!!

    I just used copy and paste on this pgn and used the "insert pgn" link with no problems and I did not get any error messages or anything.

    I also did a copy and paste of the pgn of the immortal game shown in the FAQ and inserted it into another post and previewed it. That also worked with no problems and no messages.

    With the pgn you are originally having problems with, are you using a pgn from one of the games on this site, or are you copying it from elsewhere?

    From the site.
    It must be a slip of the fingers or something.
    Thanks anyway.
    At least I now know the principal is right.
    I vaguely remember another post where the poster said the pgn's don't always work.

    If you're going to make a point then try to be concise, pick your 'chosen language' carefully...you never know, you might even get a logical reply...
