The trick on this forum is, that you need not generate it yourself,
since the server will insert it, when someone retrieves your message.
You have just to indicate which position you want to be shown.
For this you have to give the FEN string of the position, like this one:
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq e3
(initial position after 1.e4).  In order to get the diagram added by the
forum server, insert a letter D (diagram) in brackets before the FEN, e.g.:
[D]rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq e3
Now, above this we should see a diagram.

FEN strings can be cut&pasted from most chess programs.

Cheers,
