New Tagging System
It's about the time I futureproofed the site by replacing the old, slow tagging system that's been here since the site launched. How it worked previously is that every single tag was stored in a text line on each pawprint, which made searching for tags in pawprints and updating them very slow and processor intensive. If you can imagine, it had to look through each tag string to find a single tag every single time.
Now, tags on pawprints are stored separately. There's a simple link to which tag is being used and which pawprint it belongs to. Renaming a tag for every pawprint is a matter of just changing the name, as everything is done by IDs now.
Some stuff may have broken. I've done a lot of testing myself, but if anyone notices anything please comment here or submit a bug report.

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.
