You can just describe the position (which pieces are on which squares, and whose
side to move it is) and somebody else can convert it to the proper format.

Or, if you know how to convert the position into a FEN string, just put a line
in your post that has a [D] at the beginning and then paste the FEN string
immediately after it. That will do the trick.
