New: customer control panel
We have recently added a customer control panel to www.groupboard.com and www.groupworld.net, allowing you to check your past payments and manage your hosted products. Just click on the "Customer Login" link on our websites, or click here:
Customer Control PanelAjax (non-java) version of Groupboard
Want to access Groupboard from your phone? Now you can! We now have a version of Groupboard which does not require java or any other plugins - it simply uses HTML and javascript. Click here to see the demo:
http://www.groupboard.com/demo/ajax.shtmlTo use the ajax version with your own Groupboard, just add "&ajax=true" to the gb.cgi URL (or tick the appropriate checkbox if using the control panel).
Groupboard updates - super admin password + larger free board
Some recent updates to Groupboard include:
- Optional "super admin password" which we can add to your board (except for free boards), so that only the "super admin" can change your board info, passwords, etc.
- The free Groupboard can now be any size, and can now be embedded in a web page simply by pasting a single line of HTML code. See the www.groupboard.com main page to try it out.
Groupboard Designer updates - ability to upload multi-page documents
We have recently enhanced the document upload facility in Groupboard Designer. Now when you upload a document the first page appears automatically on the whiteboard and you can move between pages by using the arrow icons. To see a demo, please register for a free trial.
