Pawprint Refactor

Xen 2025-09-09 General 1 view
- Removed the feed entirely, it was slowing the site down and not entirely needed.

- Optimised profile and scrapbook pawprints to speed up page loading, there's now a 'show more' button instead of all being loaded at once.

- The way pawprints are viewed have changed, they now have their own page similar to e621 and FurAffinity, with a .png download button on each.

- Pawprint authors are now able to set a parent on pawprints, so alts/variants are shown alongside the 'main' pawprint and don't spam. To do this, pick which one you want to be shown as the main pawprint (ideally a SFW one), find its ID in the URL (it'll be a short number, for example 4868), and use the 'set parent' button in every alts settings to set the parent to that number. These ones won't show up in profiles or the homepage, but you can see all of them from the main one along with a handy visible number of alts. You can do this even if the pawprint is on someone else's page, as long as you are the artist. I have organised some already into parent/child relationships on my profile, so you can see how it works.

- Added 'notes' section to the user settings. This will display above the pawprint drawing on your profile, and you can use it to let people know stuff you like and dislike. You can see this in action on my profile!

- (potentially) fixed an issue with anonymous pawprints not being able to be confirmed if auto-confirm is set to off.

- Fixed issues with deleting accounts causing errors.

Manual Draft Saving
After some recent issues I've made a decision - drafts will no longer be automatically saved. Instead, much like a drawing program, there is a save and load button. The save button will flash when you're able to save (to stop people from just spam saving the same thing), and this will save a draft like before.

If you were wondering why the site was slow before, the auto saving drafts accounted for most of it as some bots/rogue individuals decided to exploit it to almost crash the entire site. This solves many issues (such as drafts not saving correctly/at the right time) and lightens the load on the site quite a bit.

Polls!
I've added a poll system to journals, meaning you can now hold polls alongside them :3 it's not fully tested, so things may go wrong.

To help test, what is the best?

Marks Gifting/Tracking
If you click the marks count in the top right (the lil' heart) there's a new page for gifting marks to other users. You can also see a new transaction history with marks - ones coming in and going out, with a new option in the privacy section of your settings page to make them all anonymous in others transaction histories.

In addition: marks are now permanent. You cannot unmark a pawprint once it is marked, to stop any issues occurring where you give away all your marks and then someone unmarks and leaves you in the negatives.
