Full-screen mode now available in Groupboard
If you are using a browser that supports full-screen (currently Safari,
Chrome or Firefox), you can now use Groupboard in full-screen mode - just
click the full-screen icon 
at the top-right of the whiteboard.
To see a demo, go to:

We recently updated the html5/ajax version of Groupboard Designer so that it now includes all of the Groupboard Designer features including undo/redo, select/move/delete, gridlines and DXF import. This means that you can now use Groupboard Designer on any html5-compliant web browser without needing to install java (including on iPad and Android). To try a demo, go to:
Groupboard Designer html5/ajax demoYou can access the html5/ajax version of your own hosted Groupboard by adding &ajax=true to the link.
Improvements to free Groupboards
In order to make the free Groupboard more useful, we have removed some limitations from it, including:
- the whiteboard is now persistent (so drawings remain on the board even after all users log off)
- we have removed the bandwidth limit, so performance will be the same as the paid-for boards.
- it is now simpler to createa free Groupboard - just click the 'Get your own free Groupboard' link at www.groupboard.com.
The paid-for boards still have the following benefits over the free Groupboard:
- unlimited technical support
- no adverts
- higher limits for number of users, saved pictures, backgrounds, etc.
New Groupboard facebook app
If you are on facebook, try out the new Groupboard facebook app:
http://apps.facebook.com/groupboardThe new facebook app has a larger whiteboard, uses html5 (so no java required, and works on iPad and Android), and has a 'snapshot' feature allowing you to save your drawings instantly to your facebook wall!
Just go to the app and you will instantly have your own free Groupboard that you can invite friends to draw on.
Improvements to Groupworld iPad and Android Tablet apps
We have been working on the iPad and Android Tablet versions of Groupworld to improve stability and fix bugs. Both apps are now stable with zero known bugs. To try Groupworld on your iPad or Android device:
