Remove all spaces between [ ] in the above example to get :

BTW: A link, similar to the game id links, will be added to the the forum posting page during this weekends release. If you need to create a FEN in a hurry, you could use the board painter off the 'new game' page.

That's very nice.

But to make them uber useful for chess discussions, would it be possible to include the coordinates. I'm sure it probably doesn't make much difference to the people involved in the tactical discussions, but some newbies or average players, who might be interested in following the discussions for learning purposes might spend most of their time trying to figure out what squares people are talking about.

Is this possible?

I could do this, but it would not appear for a little while.

It seems chessbase outputs an extra bit on the end. Delete that to get it to work if you are exporting.
Also it needs a ____ to move indicator. In my position it's white.
