Why don't people post the game boards when talking about moves

I don't know if you're being cheeky, but yes, it is too hard.

I don't consider myself particularly lazy when it comes to trying to propagate information to fellow golemites, but even I don't bother to include boards, as I would need to follow a link to remind myself how to do it. Were it to say (and this might totally mess up this post if it interprets the []s...):

Include a board using [game;id:123456] or [game;id:123456;move:20]

then I wouldn't hesitate to use it at all.

Yes, it messed up the []s. Damn you, Textile!

Include a board using {game;id:123456} or {game;id:123456;move:20}

Simple method is using textile bloc of code bc.. like

bc..

I usually add a 'space+end slash' like

Carroll's one is HTML and yours is XHTML, makes no big difference here, it's anyway a mix of both (for example if you look at the breaks) and all common browsers don't care about it, but if you look at the DOCTYPE of this site, then you see Carroll is correct.

although for 100% correctness there should be also an alt="blabla"...
