Pawprints are like onions...
Introducing layers - you can have up to 5 (for now), each with an opacity slider to let you play with some new techniques that weren't possible before. Here's some of the details:
- You can create, delete and duplicate layers. Whatever you draw will now affect whichever layer you have selected, much like mainstream drawing programs.
- Drafts will save and load layers, so your drawings won't be accidentally lost.
- Layers will save WITH the pawprint from now on, meaning if you need to edit it in the future, you will always be able to adjust individual layers.
- Each layer has its own opacity slider, letting you do some neat effects. This is also saved with the pawprint + in drafts!
- Copy/paste is now per layer, instead of the whole pawprint.
- There's a new red 'nuke' button that deletes your saved drafts and resets everything to a blank pawprint, in case you wanted to quickly start a new one.
As usual some stuff might be broken. Ironpaw users also will not have access to this system, if you do something is broken, pls let me know!
Changes/Fixes after update:
- Fixed shape tools not working correctly.
- Fixed editing pawprints not loading properly.
- Removed the extra layers panel button from the tools bar, I dunno why it was there.
- Nuke button is now hidden when editing a pawprint.
- Fixed some cases where you'd have no layers and couldn't draw until making one.
- Fixed drafts saving when editing a pawprint.
- Fixed some functionality not working on mobile devices (some buttons, dragging panels etc)
- Added mobile fallbacks for sorting layers, there's now buttons to move layers up or down.
- Fixed copying/pasting on certain mobile devices!
- Improved how the tabs on profiles look, I hope.

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.
