Since our launch just over a week ago, we have received a lot of great feedback on Backboard, with most people excited by the idea, but left wanting more. More security, more file support, more tightly integrated comments, and more moderation options for Backboards.

We agree, and are working to deliver on these requests over the coming months.

Today, I’m excited to announce the first round of feature improvements to Backboard.

More file support - Along with JPG, GIF, and PNG, we have added support for three popular image file formats: BMP, TIFF, and most importantly, Photoshop files (PSD). Many graphics designers have requested the ability to directly upload their source files, instead of having to Save them For Web, first. This is now supported!

More moderation support - Addressing what was by far our most common request, it is now possible to delete Backboards that you have created and no longer need. Click on My Backboards and then click the X next to the Backboard you want to delete. 

This release also brings many small changes and bug fixes to all parts of the site, so your Backboard experience should be much smoother.

What else do you think we should add or change? Let us know by posting a comment below, or getting in touch!
