Flipping the diagrams when Black's move, I think, would be nice by default, but perhaps we could have a button to go with the diagrams for "flipping" the board manually as well.

Maybe an option in profile to keep current behavior if anything changes...
Hiarcs Forum had that feature, black pieces at bottom when it was black's turn to move, but sometimes the message was talking about the ideas of white in the position, and they were hard to follow. I actually got used to visualizing black ideas from the top of the board in all these years, so e.g. having the WBCCC games showing the game board flipping over and over would be annoying.

Fine. Just a button under the board next to the other buttons would be fine. Chessbase appears to have a new chessboard "control", but you can't flip that either and I am not sure it interacts with keyboard arrowkeys when it "has the focus".
I was refering to positions as posted in 'Test Positions' board. To have that changing in WBCCC would definitely be too annoying!
This request was meant mainly for posted static positions where it is Black to move...eg. here: http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=22181
It's Black's move and we are to look at the position from White's side of the board! I even spent probably over a minute trying to figure out what White was trying to do from this position--before I looked down and got a spoiler on Black's move.
Perhaps a software window popup on this board would be in order--to avoid spoilers while studying the position. Sorry that I have no idea how much trouble either of these suggestions might be to implement though.

If you wanted to you could also. Take a pic of it showing it form blacks view.

The pieces would be upside-down!!
What I could do is copy and paste the position code into a GUI, but I wanted the website showing the position just to be able to flip the position they are showing! (With a button below the board. ).
Thats what I meant.
YES!! There is now a side-to-move indicator on the posted boards! Now...is it too much to say that we'd probably like a "Flip" Button as much as a "Lookup" Button? In the Test Positions Board, I imagine it is frequent the positions result in "No Data"!

It has always been there...
Okay. I almost thought so, but opted against asking. I have spent most of my time in the forum on the more text-oriented boards. How about the rest? How about "Flip" Button (perhaps in favor to "Lookup"--perhaps by voting for between the two).
