PinsofWar.net now with Improved Security

Today a little update on my own account. I’ve been working away busily to improve both security and feedback features of PinsofWar.net to make signing-up and hosting your pictures on our site as safe and comfortable an experience as possible. I am happy to announce that PinsofWar.net now runs with the added protection of Dome9 and with the user-support and feedback access of UserVoice.

Dome9 Cloud Security

 

PinsofWar.net now uses the power of Dome9 to give additional protection to all our databases, including in particular those containing user information such as names and passwords. We’ve also added a second layer of email-scrambling for bots and other access guards to make sure that all information that users share with PinsofWar.net on opening an account are as safe and protected as possible.

UserVoice Customer Communication

Second, as you may have seen with the little widget, I have added the fantastic customer communication service of UserVoice to allow everyone – you! – to ask for support, give feedback or suggest improvements on the site. You can access the UserVoice Interface through the little pop-up widget that will appear on the right-hand side of the page.

You can see it on the right of the page in the screenshot below.

Of course, the traditional contact form will also stay in use, though I hope to phase out the rather clunky PinsofWar.net/help site in favour of a far more accessible, more interactive support tool.

Secure and Comfortable Sharing of Pictures & Videos

I hope these features will make it both easier and safer for people to share their favourite miniature and wargaming pictures and videos on PinsofWar.net. Go to PinsofWar.net and share something from your workbench today!

Also, if you have any other suggestions or features that you would like to see, contact me (including through the UserVoice widget to the right) or leave a comment below.
