Flipbooks
Ever wanted to make little animations with your pawprints? Introducing Flipbooks! This new system lets you put together draft pawprints, change the timing/speed, and create animations. You can try this out with the new flipbook button on the sidebar, below the journal button. You will need draft pawprints to use (the 'draft' checkbox in pawprint settings or when drawing something) but I may later increase this to work with any of your pawprints, I want to see if it'd cause spam.
At the start this will only allow up to 16 frames (you can use the same image more than one time, if you wanted a reverse effect) but I may increase this later if needed. Flipbooks will use all the tags combined of each pawprint used, a bit like how pawzzle tags work, and the rating will always be at minimum the highest rated pawprint used - so you can't rate it general/SFW if there's an NSFW pawprint in one of the frames.
- Added the Flipbook system.
- Added a Flipbook tab on the homepage, next to Pawprints.
- Added a Flipbook collection on profiles, to see all flipbooks created by a user.
- Allowed tag/rating editing.
- Added an 'onion skin' selector next to where the parent selector is when drawing pawprints. This will set the background of the canvas to a slightly transparent version of whichever pawprint you select, good for animating.
Other Fixes:
- Fixed default collection not loading on profiles.
- Fixed the bulk pawprint selection.
- XP calculation has been optimised a ton so it's 10 seconds faster to run.
- Text-only pawprints no longer show up on the homepage or count for XP, to stop spam.
- Added new badge conditions so I can make badges for more things.
- Fixed notifications for comments in flipbooks.
- Fixed templates not copying.

Big Suggestions Batch!
Raffles
- You can now set a journal to be an entry method for your raffle - users will have to make a new (non draft) journal that includes the link to the raffle to enter.
- You can set any number of entry methods to be required, meaning they cannot enter the raffle unless that specific method has been completed.
- You can now set the maximum amount of entries users can get in the raffle.
- The raffle index now has pages, to help speed up loading.
- Entry pawprints (the ones you have to paws up/mark to enter) now get the 'Raffle Entry' tag automatically, and will become hidden when the raffle ends.
- You can now see ALL entries in a completed raffle (as the creator) by clicking a switch. By default it will only show the winners.
Journals
- You can now set a journal as a draft, if you don't want it public yet or have your followers notified about it.
Requests
- Requesters can now set a maximum content rating for what they'd like to receive.
- Requesters can now add a reference link to their requests.
- You can now set an active request limit (per user) in your settings.
- You can now set a character limit (from 100-1000 characters) for requests.
- Requests can now be accepted/considered/rejected, much like how the postbox works.
- Artists can send a note back to the requester to explain whatever decision they made with their request.
Other Changes

- Allowed 'closing' the drawing timer by clicking on it.
- Added a toggle to the move layer tool that allows you to move ALL layers at once.
- You can now send pawprints with 'allow remixing' to other users, they're still able to manually turn it off if they'd like however.

New Settings
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

Alerts & Raffle Changes
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!
