There is now a second rating selection in the content section of your settings. This is for what rating pawprints can be sent/drawn for you, separate from which one you can see. There's also privacy settings for hiding your level/XP and badges, either from everyone, or just others. Other Fixes/Changes: - All confirmations have been replaced with fancy popups instead of relying on the browser to do it - Sped up the pawception index as it was incredibly slow to load

As a way to possibly patch issues where raffle prizes are forgotten about, I've updated raffles to require the creator to set the prizes after they're drawn before they can make a new raffle. Along with this is the alerts system, which are notifications that cannot be removed and stay at the top of the list until whatever they're alerting you about is done - some examples include claiming a pawception turn, a pawzzle tile, or having a raffle with no set prizes. They won't show a count though, as that would even annoy me -w- I know this might be annoying for people who have had several raffles, and to make it up each submitted prize gives you +20 XP, which is actually a decent chunk compared to what other things on the site gives you. It should work the same way as setting the parent while drawing - except it will only show you valid pawprints (ones drawn after the raffle started, by you, for the winner). You can also put in the pawprint ID directly if it's not in the most recent list. Once set, the pawprint's page will show that it was a raffle prize and link to the raffle it came from. This still needs to be tested fully, so please let me know if anything breaks. Hopefully the raffle alerts all group together, but if not, some of you might have a ton of them until they're finished!

Several users have reported not participating in pawception due to how specific they've been getting. I'd like to reiterate that pawception is meant to be vague and not specifically name characters or media that you'd like art from. To combat this, I expanded on the pawception rules slightly and added little one-time popups that'll appear the first time you visit pawception, furdle or pawzzles. The important change is describe, don't name. If you see someone's character, describe them, do not directly name them (this excludes maple as he's the site mascot). For example - if someone draws my raccoon Kalen, don't prompt 'kalen eating beans', write 'a raccoon eating beans'. Especially do not make prompts like 'draw X character doing Y action from Z obscure tv series', that is not what pawception is about! From now on staff will be checking pawceptions and either deleting games or changing prompts entirely (instead of adding a second prompt) if they break these rules. Existing games are fine, but this will affect new games from now on. Let's keep it fun for everyone.

Backups If you are the artist of a pawprint, you can now go to the settings to download a ZIP file of the pawprint image as well as every layer separately. This allows you to put it into another program later and keep all layers intact. It does not preserve layer filters however, so you will have to re-apply any blur or blending modes. In your user settings under the security tab, you will find a full backup download - this will download into a single zip file every pawprint you've drawn along with all of their layers. Please use this sparingly as it's kinda CPU intensive, especially if you have thousands of pawprints. Hotkeys There's a new section in the drawing tab of user settings for customising your drawing hotkeys. You can add hotkeys to tools that never had them before, or change existing ones. Some hotkeys may not work if windows/the browser overrides it, but most do (F5 can even work, it will stop the browser from reloading if you set it as a hotkey!) Other Changes: - The Allow Guests option now properly hides your content from guests if you aren't the pawprint owner. - Advanced Search now has options for minimum paws ups, minimum marks, and allows you to sort by highest paws ups and marks. - Finished raffles now only show the winners in the entry list to make it easier for the creator. - Characters can now be highlighted on your profile, the same way pawprints can. - You can now hide from friends lists in your privacy settings. - Ironpaw pawprints are now automatically tagged with 'Ironpaw Mode' - and non-ironpaw pawprints will have that tag removed automatically. - A max of 5 pawprints per hour has been implemented on top of the 10 a day, to try to stop spam. - Users can now select their gender to show in their profile, if they'd like to. - Sending pawprints to someone instead of drawing for them directly now correctly awards marks. - Added titles to postbox entries. - Replaced the friend request icon with a heart to match the unfriend icon. - Replaced the baraag link with mastodon so it covers more areas.
