Please, for God's sake....

Just a simple request...

If a position is posted for whatever reason, PLEASE include the position's FEN.
It only takes mere seconds to include a FEN, but it saves many man hours by everyone else manually entering piece to recreate the position.

If you have the time, here's a challenge for you: create a web page at which one pastes an image of a chess board and receives a FEN back.

I agree. Sometimes people post here, and they just show a diagram or just the PGN. They have made it even simpler when it was used in the old forum.

You copy FEN or copy position in whatever program you are using in the position setup

paste it here
[d]2r5/5n2/p2kr1p1/3Pp2p/7P/3K1P2/P3R1PB/4R3 b - - 0 42

You highlight what you just pasted and hit the fen button on top. Easy Peasy. There is one thing I don't like though is the board colors. More wooden would be my point but it gets the job done.
