Email alias

Now there is the opportunity to create an e-mail alias on HRDLOG.net.
The alias allows anyone to send a message to you without knowing your real e-mail address. For example, if you send an email to iw1qlh @ hrdlog.net , the email will be automatically forwarded to the real mail inbox even if the sender is not required to know it.
This function can be useful if you want an e-mail address easy to remember (callsign @ hrdlog.net) or if you don’t want to let your real address be known or if you want an address which doesn’t change during the time.
To activate the function Login -> Modify profile -> Mail alias.

It has been implemented a new page that allows the integration with the social network Twitter.
Once the integration has been activated, it will be possible to update automatically your status on Twitter (sending a Tweet) each time that :

• Every new QSO
• On a new country worked
• When you are "On-Air"
• Every band change

Display of QSO - New type of script

One of the function more appreciated of HRDLOG.net is the one that allows to publish the own QSOs on the personal web site or on the own page of QRZ.com.
Furthermore, it is possible to publish information on the "OnAir" status, to enable the search of QSO, to visualize the results of the research divided for bands.
In addition to the two mode already present (Text and Image), it has been added the IFRAME mode which is compatible also with QRZ.com; I remind you that the "Text" mode is not functioning anymore within QRZ since the java scripts has been deactivated on the pages.
The code can be produced through the graphic interface at the page Login-Create Script; once you have decided the graphic aspects (dimension, color, etc) it is sufficient to copy and paste the script in the web page desired.

Server infrastructure

Increasing security problems lead us to abandon the previous architecture in order to move to a mixed cloud environment based on HyperV and VMware.
The HRDLOG.net server web has been moved to this new infrastructure.

Entities Page

Next to the "QSO map" page, it has been located a new page called "Entities", from which it is possible to see the list of the countries we worked on.
The visualization occurs through a list of flags, an image presenting the number of countries confirmed and a graph from which you can see the progression during time of the countries in which we worked.
The last 2 representations can be uses also in external web sites (for example the own web-sites or QRZ.com).
As you can do for the "QSO map" page, you can deactivate this page from the Login page -> Privacy.

Quick links

From the new page "Quick links", it is possible to visualize the list of links useful in external web-sites (for example the own web-site or on QRZ.com)
To access the page, it is necessary to log in with your own username.
