New CardsInk!

Posted in launch by Dan Dyer on March 9, 2010

We’re happy to announce our site redesign! Check it out http://cardsink.com

This in the new CardsInk.com built from the ground up, by the amazing Joe Sak. There are quite a few changes. Actually lots and lots of changes. Here are the big ones…

  • Numero uno is that we shouldn’t have voting spam problems anymore. It’s also more robust, faster and even the code looks prettier.
  • We’ve made some changes to the navigation. And you can suggest a category for designs!
  • We also upgraded our payment gateway so you don’t have to log into your PayPal account to pay anymore.
  • We’re also going to have more photos for each card so you can get a better look at them.
  • Now if you submit designs and it is chosen for print you can now see how much you’ve earned!
  • Oh I almost forgot! CardsInk is made even faster with some help from Amazon web services!

So, speaking of voting spam. We reset the votes and we’re re-doing the previous voting session because of the spam, and including a few new designs. So go vote!

Compromised voting

Posted in Uncategorized by Dan Dyer on February 25, 2010

Earlier today we had an issue with a spam voting attack, exploiting a flaw in our voting system. We’ve removed all designs for voting. We’ll resume voting when a fix is in place. If you have any questions please contact us at hello at cardsink dot com.
