- The homepage now once again shows pawprints the author sent to themselves, but the limit of 2 per author shown at once is still in place. It will only show the 2 latest pawprints by any one author to encourage discovery for other artists. The homepage was intended as a place to discover new artists, so this seems like a fair compromise. - Fixed the character colour scheme not allowing pure black #000000. - Fixed italics tags not displaying properly.

The homepage now only shows pawprints sent to others, to avoid spam. All pawprints can be found on the search page if you still wish to see every one, or through random/top tabs. A limit of 2 per author shown at one time is also in place, so one person can't flood the homepage by spamming pawprints. This way you see more from a variety of artists. Pawceptions have also been changed to only allow entries after 2 turns have taken place, instead of every other turn. You can still submit multiple times to the same Pawception, it just takes an extra turn inbetween to encourage more users to participate instead of just 2.

Today, almost every pawception game had been derailed by a select few users, almost all of them to do with cookies of some kind (cookie run kingdom?), I'd like to reiterate that it is against the rules to derail games to try to get art of some obscure thing you want. Your submission to a pawception game MUST be related to the turn you're responding to. I will be deleting turns that derail from now on, and issuing warnings and potentially pawception bans for repeat offenders.

Janitors, mods and admins now have the ability to warn users for rule breaks (they should've had this ages ago tbh). If you receive a warning, it doesn't mean you're gonna be banned, you just won't be able to use the site until you acknowledge it. Deleting a pawprint made by someone else will first send it back to the author instead of outright deleting it, if the author then deletes it themselves it will be deleted for real.

I'd like to remind everyone that inserting your own OCs or your friends' OCs into Pawception games is not permitted. If the previous turn directly involves your OC, continuing that context is fine. However, adding your own or a friend's OC to a drawing or prompt when it is not relevant is not allowed. Please refrain from doing so. Additionally, I've made several backend improvements to Pawception. While these changes should enhance stability, there is a possibility of unintended issues. If you encounter any bugs, please let me know. I've also increased the maximum number of turns to 24 to allow for greater participation and longer games.

Since some Pawception games have been stuck without new entries for a long time, I've made a change to how they work. You can now submit multiple times to the same game, as long as your turns aren’t back-to-back. For example, one player could submit a drawing, you could describe it, they could submit another drawing, and you could describe it again—allowing just two players to keep a game going. This change is temporary and may be adjusted as the community grows, but for now, it should help games progress much faster!

I've removed the profile questions feature altogether, it was mostly unused and really needed to be remade from scratch. I might bring it back in the future, but for now it was just adding unnecessary bloat to the site and giving me yet another thing to test for with new updates. • Fixed a bug with pawprint searches where the user has set allow guests to false. • Characters are now hidden from guests if the user disallows guests also. • Fixed a bug with the symmetry button, it was only visual but looked ugly. • Fixed some styling issues on the homepage, including removing the event calendar that did not fit in at all with the site, the main events page already shows everything that was there. • Fixed some things that shouldn't have been seen by guests when a user sets allow guests to false.

You can now mark pawprints—leaving a splash of love! ? This works like a favourite but uses a limited marking currency (check next to your avatar). • Everyone starts with 10 marks. • Marking a pawprint costs 1, which is given to the artist. • You earn marks back by sending drawings to others. This keeps marking special—only the best get showered with appreciation! Marked pawprints appear on your profile (toggleable in settings) as your personal showcase.

Please vote on the current event, as all votes got reset out of fairness due to a bug! - New 'settings' button when viewing any pawprint, this lets you delete and highlight a pawprint from anywhere - Fixed dark mode stylings for messages and made it so the message box expands vertically so you can actually see what you typed - The author or owner of a pawprint is now able to set it as SFW/NSFW in the settings - You can now delete draft pawprints through this - Fixed the profile followers/following not showing up for you if you are hiding your followers/following - Fixed sending pawprints to another user when an event/game is unfinished

Heya, there was a bug in one of the event entries for the current event, so I've fixed it and reset all the votes. Please vote again! Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

- Guides now handle youtube shorts as well, allowing them to embed properly - Fixed custom website links not being able to be removed - Added a rules page link to the sidebar - Reworked the 'hide from feed' setting slightly, so now it also stops discord posts about your pawprints or guides

- You can now search for users by display name instead of only username. - Fixed the profile scrapbook not showing all pawprints in completed games and events. - Fixed collection creation styling. - Added custom error handling so errors are a bit prettier to look at and give way better information for me.

Might take a little getting used to, but I took a hammer and chisel to the site's layout and made every page a little more uniform. It's a lil' more evocative of deviantart now and I feel like the navigation is way more user friendly. Some things may be broken, just let me know if you stumble across anything! I also think this version looks a lot better on dark mode than it does on light mode, but that's personal preference.

If making a pawprint on your profile, you can now set it as a draft. This will only show up for you in its own special location next to your scrapbook (confusing name I know) to be edited and un-drafted later. You can now make your own guides for drawing/using the website. These can have video URLs or draft pawprints from your gallery to display what to do. Have a look at my example guide for what they're like! I will be adding these to the index later, still need to do further testing.

You can now set species, sexuality, gender and other tags for characters. Species and other tags will be added alongside the character's name tag to any pawprint that has it. For 'other' tags, this should be things that are ALWAYS relevant to whatever pawprint your character will be on - for example, 'feral' or 'brown fur' assuming your character is always feral with the same fur colour. 'orange eyes' would not be a good add, as the character's face may not always be shown.

You can now search for characters by their tag or name. For ease of access, I've added buttons beside the title of the pawprints, characters and users section on the homepage with quick links to the search page for that type. There was no way to see all characters in one place before, so hopefully this fills that void.

The formatting for character tags has changed as I've noticed some characters have more common names that coincide with other things. If your name is not very unique (somewhat likely to be tagged in something unrelated), please set your character tag to "name (username)", for example, "maple (xen)", similar to how characters are tagged on e621. I've done the vast majority of this myself and updated all pawprint tags to match, but I might've missed some.

You can now edit pawprints by clicking the 'edit pawprint' button while viewing any pawprint you are the author of. Didn't fill some of the background? you can edit it! Not enough bodily fluids? Add some more! Just look for this button in the lil' pawprint view window: https://i.imgur.com/U6vVBp5.png"/>

You're now able to order searches on the search page by newest or oldest, letting you see the oldest pawprints on the site or the oldest of any tags you're searching for. Janitors are also now able to hide and unhide comments, if they're inappropriate for the content's rating.

Looking for janitors to help tag pawprints and manage NSFW/SFW status. The role is for active users who are familiar with tagging and willing to adjust posts as needed. Janitors should avoid joke tags and respect NSFW definitions (only explicit content counts). You'll get a broom icon next to your name to indicate your role as a Janitor. Message me here or on Discord if you're interested! I'd like people to go through and tag pawprints with no tags or few tags with anything relevant, SFW or NSFW, just to help people find what they want by searching.
