Migration complete
I've migrated all your user accounts and purchases and activated the new system. If you hover your mouse over 'Store' there at the top, you'll see "Your Account" in the dropdown; you'll be able to log in there once you've reset your password.
Unfortunately, you can't reset your password from that page - you have to do that from the WordPress login page, reachable on the right by clicking "Log in" under "Meta".
On the "Your Account" page, you'll be able to see the amount and date of your purchase, as well as see a download link for your software. Note that you are now limited to one hundred total downloads of the software, but that is not intended as permission to distribute anything to anyone; the limit is high only for your convenience.
As always, feel free to e-mail support@xnapid.com if you need assistance.
Upgrading the site
I'm in the process of updating the website. I don't expect any problems, but there is a change of which existing customers should be aware. I'm integrating your accounts with WordPress user accounts and switching to an easier-to-manage system. As a result, your passwords will be erased; however, your user information and e-mail addresses will remain the same, so simply click "Log In" on the right and then click "Lost your password?" It will ask for your e-mail address and send you a new temporary password to that address.
You should still be able to download SoundBoard if you have purchased it, however the transition will probably not preserve the transaction details from your original purchase transaction. Paypal should still have those details in your Paypal account, however we can retrieve them for you if you need them.
We're also happy to announce that we're adding a new payment method: Google Checkout.
I'm disabling access to your user accounts (and to Soundboard purchases) for the duration of the migration. I expect to have access restored in a few hours; I'll post again when we're up and running.
SoundBoard 2.4 released
As promised, SoundBoard 2.4 is now available. It contains all the features mentioned in yesterday's post, with one addition - SoundBoard now has an actual installer. (No more mucking around with .zip files!) You can now install and uninstall SoundBoard just like any other program, and you'll get shortcuts in your Start menu and/or on your desktop.
If you have already purchased SoundBoard, version 2.4 is available on the Software page of your Xnapid.com account.
Otherwise, please try the trial version!
Please remember, SoundBoard 2.4 requires the .NET Framework 4, which was released earlier this week, so you will want to make sure you run Windows Update to get it installed if you have not done so already.
Upcoming changes for SoundBoard 2.4
I just thought I'd give an update on the next release of SoundBoard:
- 1-9 and 0 on the number pad now work the same as the normal 1-9 and 0 buttons.
- SoundBoard now loads the last file you had open when you start the program again.
- SoundBoard now tracks whether you have unsaved changes, and prompts you to save before quitting or creating a new board if you haven't saved.
- SoundBoard 2.4 requires the .NET Framework version 4, which was recently released. You can download .NET 4 from Windows Update.
I've spent several hours trying to figure out a way to make SoundBoard behave better when Windows' font size is set to larger than normal, but thus far I have been unsuccessful. (Sorry, Julie!) I will keep looking, but it doesn't look like a fix will make it into this release.
Before I post the update, though, I thought I'd ask if anyone has any other feature requests. If so, please comment on this post, or send an e-mail to soundboard@xnapid.com, and I'll see what I can do!
SoundBoard 2.3 released
We've released SoundBoard 2.3!
2.3's biggest new feature is that there are now hotkeys for playing sounds and changing pages. They are as follows:
- 1-9 and 0 play sounds 1-9 and 10, respectively.
- Page Up and Page Down move to the previous and next page, respectively.
- Backspace stops (not pauses) all sounds.
A side effect of this change is that the page title is no longer a freeform textbox; instead, you need to right-click the title and choose "Rename" to rename the page. Feel free to leave comments about this change on this post or on SoundBoard's product page.
If you have already purchased SoundBoard, you can download 2.3 for free from your account's Software page. If not, please try the evaluation version!
