I've set up a JavaScript page to make it easy to include a chessboard in your post. Go to http://www.net-chess.com/chessboard.html, then rearrage the peices into the order you want. Then click "Generate Image HTML". Highlight the text that appears in the text box, right click on it and select "copy". Then come back to the forum and start to post your message as normal. Inside the text area, right click and select "Paste". Be sure to preview your message before posting to make sure it's what you wanted.
Optionally, you can provide a link to a board which will pop up in a new window. This board will allow the user to move pieces around, as well as generate the HTML for included a board in a reply. Use the "Gernate Link HTML" for this method. You can also include both the HTML version and the Link version in the same message. The link version looks like this: View Board
It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it works. I'll add a few more features to the HTML generator in the future, but it'll do for now.
When you're done the board will look something like this:
The small board appears as follows:
