Responsive design
Mobile viewers won’t be left out this time, either. DB2 is fully responsive, from smartphone to tablet to widescreen desktop.

If you’re using reCAPTCHA with multiple domains, take note – Google is disabling a feature called “secure token” on May 18th, 2016 which DB2 used since 1.2.0 to avoid entering all your domains in reCAPTCHA’s admin page. It’s still possible to avoid entering all the domains on their page, but will require one change on your part. After updating to Domain Broker 2 version 1.3.1, disable Domain Name Validation in “Advanced Settings” on the reCAPTCHA admin page.
Added - DB2's version number is now in index.php - Domain Validation for reCAPTCHA Changed - Removed secure token implementation of reCAPTCHA (Google is deprecating the secure token feature on May 18, 2016).
