We pushed the new release last weekend in version 17.2.5
Look at the board on my smartphone.
At this screenshot, I removed the user names. If all your users have their avatars, it is easy to use their avatar to distinguish each person.
To enable and use avatars on your InOut Board, please look at how to do it below.
Please let us know what kind of features do you want. We will add them per your request.
Now, some new features already under developing.
Such as time, date format. Previously, we just have ISO standard format. Per request, we add the option for users and board administrator. The board administrator and setup the default time, date format. The new user will take the default values as their own format. Every user can change it at User Control Panel.
We already have a list of new features need to be added into FreeInOut Board system.
FreeInOut Board system v 17.1.0 is going to be available in this weekend.
It is a small upgrade. Two new features were added.
1) Show Time Zone or Not?
Some users do not need Timezone. They are all in the same timezone, even not in the same location. Based on this requirement, we add this feature, allow Administrator to turn off the display of timezone lable on in/out Board.
Go to Admin >> Board Settings
Default is checked, it means to display timezone on main list.
If you uncheck it, the main list will not show timezone.
2) Remember me?
To provide more friendly user experience, we add this Remember me feature. Some people call it Long-Term User Authentication, or Persistent Login status.
So, when you signin, you can choose the checkbox of Remember me
Then, even you close the window. Next day, you open it and enter the web address, or click the bookmark, you can see you just one click away to the board.
You can click the link on the right upper corner, to go to your in/out board.
For security reason, please do not check it on public computer.
As security of user data is the most important for us, we start to support SSL on our service.
So if previous you use http://www.freeinoutboard.com/ to access our site. It will redirect to https://www.freeinoutboard.com/
Https is much more better than http
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a communications protocol for secure communication over acomputer network, with especially wide deployment on the Internet. Technically, it is not a protocol in and of itself; rather, it is the result of simply layering the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) on top of the SSL/TLS protocol, thus adding the security capabilities of SSL/TLS to standard HTTP communications. The main motivation for HTTPS is to prevent wiretapping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
As a user, you don’t have to do anything on your side. No matter which format of URL you entered, they are all re-direct to our ssl URL.
There are more and more spam are trying to leave message on Free In Out Board through sign up page. Actually they can not.
I received ten spam sign up. Some are robots, if my guess is correct. Some are human spam.
ReCaptcha from Google is installed as a one simple way to prevent these robots. It is located on our sign up page. Long term plan is to implement it on sign in form when three failed sign in clicks.
