I'm up way too late, but I couldn't resist checking this website at least
one last time.

it is to copy the URL for each image from the Diagram Designer and use
that. The images are displayed around the board. You can get the URL for an
image by right-clicking it and selecting the appropriate option from the
right-click menu. 

For Internet Explorer, this is "Copy".

I use Internet Explorer on my laptop (or desktop computer, when it is
working), and I did try copying it the way you described, Fergus. My
mistake was that I tried to 'paste' straight away, and nothing showed up at
all in my submission. I hadn't realized a 'clipboard' was to be involved.
I'll try to get around to looking up how a clipboard is used again, and try
to do such piece depictions as you described, if there isn't something
easier available (like later on cutting and pasting the work I've already
done when editing Super4*Chess).

Back in the 1990s when computers and the internet were apparently really
taking off, a condition I've had probably most of my life really took off
too (e.g. having visions once in a while), and as a result generally I've
tried to not experiment (nor use computers) too much. For example if
there's a way to do something with a computer that I know works I'll use
it, even if it may cost me just a little bit more time. Finding the time to
try to undo the consequenses of an apparently harmless experiment gone
wrong when using a computer is something I developed a sort of aversion to
years ago.
