|
### Can I protect a board with a password?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently no, and honestly: you won't need it. Simply choose a (long) name of your board which can not be easily guessed. Pass it on to your colleagues. No search engine is able to find out the board names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### When did board.net start?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our etherpad-lite service up and running since 2011 without major interruptions. On 17 Sept 2017 we did a major upgrade to continue smooth operations. On 28 February 2018 we made the start page look nicer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### I get an error message
|
|
|
|
|
|
In case you see an error message, your Javascript may not be up-to-date. try to completely reload the page with Ctrl-R or F5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Will existing boards be deleted at a certain time?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Existing boards won't be deleted at the moment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Do you make backups?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. In case we have a severe technical problem, we can recover the last state. However, we do not have access to individual boards. WIth the timeslider, each user can go back into the history of each board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How can I make the font size bigger on my screen?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Press Ctrl-+
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How can I link to another board?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the board name like [[Vgarten]] to link internally. For external links simply write http://orf.at
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Can I embed tables?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, we finally got tables working properly in board.net. Alternatively you can use ethercalc, which you find on ethercalc.org or in fairapps+. Or in faircloud.eu you have OnlyOffice supporting also complex functions (compatible to Excel ) which also allows simultaneous editing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Can I embed images or files?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can upload files with the image icon in the toolbar and images are then shown immediately. Or simply paste the image's URL. Copy/pasting an image from the clipboard had to be deprecated as that blowed up etherpad's database. It took us [a lot of effort](https://git.fairkom.net/hosting/board.net/-/issues/57) to shrink it again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Editing does not work
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use a Firefox or Chromium browser, they are best compatible, IE may not work at all, not all Safari browsers may work.
|
|
|
If the board "hangs" and you have no clue, press Ctrl-R or F5 to completely reload the page or simply wait until the next day. The board server is restarted every night at 6 a.m. CET to collect all "dead" boards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Can I export boards?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, in several formats. We've now improved the export with tidy, removing html tags. However, some bigger boards are not properly converted and the board may hang.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### I found a bug or have a wish
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please report at our [issue tracker](https://git.fairkom.net/hosting/board.net/-/issues) and check first if somebody already has reported the same issue and comment. Be precise when describing the misbehaviour, please.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Can I clear the pad?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may simply delete all text. If you need to delete also the timeline, please send your inquiry to support@fairkom.eu and why the pad should be deleted. Please consider a donation for such kind of manual effort.
