Avatars are now stored in their own separate database table. With this, there's now an avatars tab on your profile where you can select (and delete) all of your previously saved avatars. I've been unable to restore all of the previously used avatars (I don't know which one belongs to who, I have to re-add it manually) but if you want me to restore one for you just let me know. Any new avatars will automatically add to this history section.

Just a few lil' changes (also remember we have a Discord server now, you can join through the info dropdown on the top or the discord button on the bottom) - Blocked users' pawprints are now properly filtered out everywhere, whether they were the author or the profile it's posted to. - Updated the styling of how pawprints are shown on the profile and homepage. I think it looks nicer. A lot more pages are also using the same pawprint display code now, so changing one changes all of them.

Join the discord here -> https://discord.gg/wpJ2qjnmJu Usernames are no longer alterable (and all forced lowercase for consistency), and there is a new display name section in your profile settings. These allow for spaces and are what is shown to everyone, instead of your username, if you set one. Your username is still relevant (its what you log in with), but it won't change unless you specifically request me to change it, so any links aren't broken in the future.

Some people asked for this, so I set up a new discord server for Pawprint.ing with webhooks (it'll automatically post a bunch of stuff that happens on the site, sfw only with those of course) Join Here It'll be a much faster place to report bugs and make suggestions. I'll add some integration with levels, badges 'n stuff later.

Woo. Comments now show the pawprint you're commenting on, and it links back to the main pawprint image view. This is great for notifications as before you had absolutely no idea what you were commenting on. It also doesn't automatically remove the notification after you view it once. When drawing pawprints anywhere, you should now be able to use CTRL+Z (undo), CTRL+SHIFT+Z (redo), CTRL+C (copy) and CTRL+V (paste). Thanks to DrowsyPuppy for supplying me with some easy code to add!

Now that I'm not sleep deprived... - I fixed pawception pawprints from showing up in the 'user created pawprints' section. This is meant for ones that go on profiles, it'll show up if you copy it. I also fixed prompts not submitting to pawceptions. - Migrated the events system to use pawprints instead of their own save functions, it should work the same as pawceptions now. - One pawception submission managed to get deleted as it got set as unconfirmed and the user rejected it. This should not happen. I added a check and recovered it, but if you get the ability to reject a pawception in the future please tell me before doing anything!

So, until now, when you save a pawception drawing, it saves as its own thing. This means when you copy it to your profile later it actually has to run some code to create a 'new' pawprint and put it on your profile. Wildly inefficient and made me have to have multiple functions that do the same thing, for pawprints, pawception pawprints, and event pawprints. What I've done today basically makes it so they're created as pawprints from the start, allowing for tags + blocking tags with relative ease. Copying to your profile now adds a little flag to the pawprint telling it to display on your profile, instead of creating a whole new one. Deleting it removes that flag, so you can re-add it later if you want. With this, paws ups and comments are now a thing in pawception games (once I add the UI for it) If you notice anything broken let me know right away. I will be doing the same with events soon.

For some reason when people highlight their pp's and put it on display to everyone, people that didn't wanna see it still could, so your pp is no longer shown to everyone if it has blocked tags. People that don't want to see such pp's will not see the pp. I made it so mods/admins can make badges directly from the site, also added two new badges - one for getting a first place win in an event, and one for participating in at least 5 different events.

Copying NSFW Pawception entries to your profile now require you to input at least 3 tags, the same as how it works when you create one on your profile. I will soon add this to NSFW events also. Entries are no longer shown in the drawing phase to keep them more of a surprise. You will see them / be able to copy them once voting starts! Submitting a drawing to an event will also now clear your pawprint draft, so it doesn't show up elsewhere. I didn't notice this <.<

Some kinda boring admin changes, I can now add, edit and delete updates directly from the site! (woah it's the future now). Events should be fairly autonomous, I set up a bunch of events in a row and they should automatically switch between upcoming, drawing, voting and completed phases then move onto the next one. You can now copy event entries to your profile, just like pawception games. You can do this in any stage, just go into the event page and look for your one!

I've added a new event system! Here I'll be able to set up events, where you draw pawprints for a specific theme or idea. Events have several phases; starting with an entry phase, where users can submit their entries. It will then move into a voting phase, where users can vote on their favourite entries. The event will end when the voting phase ends, and the winners will be announced. This is a very basic framework and I haven't fully tested it yet, so please let me know if something breaks! The followers/following statistic on your profile will now link to the followers/following tabs, assuming they aren't hidden by the user.

Certain tags (adjustable by mods and admins) now have aliases and parents. Aliases basically act as synonyms or common misspellings of a tag, so if there are multiple words that could mean the same thing they will show up the same in searches and also get blocked if necessary. Parent tags are a system similar to how e621 works; if a tag has a parent, it will also be added alongside the tag. This is for when a tag implies something else, like 'watersports' implying 'urine', and just helps to catch edge cases where someone might forget to add a useful tag. Let's do an example - if you block the tag 'two', which is an alias of the tag '2', it will be treated as if you also blocked '2'. As '2' has a parent of '1', it will also block anything with '1' and its alias 'one', and so on until there are no more parent tags. Fixed unconfirmed pawprints not showing up to the user who needs to confirm them. Oops. Also fixed an issue where some pages were broken due to my bad coding. Fixed a possible XSS issue where HTML was being rendered in pawprint comments. Updated search to actually work with multiple word tags and it now properly searches for parts of tags instead of the entire tag! (e.g. 'pika' will show you 'pikachu')

A lil magnifying glass icon is now in the navigation bar at the top. From here you can see every single pawprint ever made, and public user. You can also search by author name and any tags the pawprint may have. You can now tag pawprints (with a minimum of 3 if it's NSFW). The idea is to help filter out NSFW content that's a little extreme for some people, so I'd be grateful if anyone tags their kinks (young, cub, rape, watersports etc). You're able to add to or edit the tags of any pawprint that is posted on your profile, so you're able to go through them and tag accordingly. This is not a strict 'tag everything' like e621, it's more 'tag extreme stuff so people can block it' :') WIth that, I've also added a blocked tags setting in your profile settings. This has a handful of default ones that the 'majority' of people may not want to see, but you're welcome to remove them. If any of your pawprints have gone missing, this is probably why. You can now have other users (either anonymously or not) ask you questions on your profile. This will create a little template with the question in the pawprint drawing canvas for you to draw a response. A bunch of new profile settings have been added - you can now hide your followers, following, and tips (though you will still be able to get them, the list itself just won't show up to anyone). You can also disable questions and/or question notifications if you don't want to bother with that system. I hopefully fixed the duplicate pawprint issue - there's now a cooldown of 60 seconds between saving pawprints from the same account. If you see a weird error telling you saving it failed, that's why. Wait a bit and it should work again.

I redrew the mascot in my usual style! I've named him Maple, and he's a lot more furry and a lot less corporate now. Along with this I've changed up the navigation quite a bit, there's dropdowns now to save on space. Added some new stuff with login sessions to hopefully fix the issue with users logging out. Please let me know if it's any better now! They should last for at least 31 days. You are now able to copy pawprints from completed pawception games to your profile if you'd like to. There's a new button on the pawception game page beside any drawing you made! Profile now shows 12 pawprints per page instead of 4. Let me know if this is fine, or if it's too many for mobile. Middle-clicking or opening a pawprint in a new tab will successfully open the little pawprint window now, instead of just redirecting back to the main page.

Maybe fixed the annoying issue with simultaneous pawception submissions. Also, fixed pawprints from private profiles showing up in more places than they should, and fully reworked how usernames display so private profiles don't have their usernames shown anywhere.

It's not perfect (far from it), but there's a basic fill tool available in the drawing canvas. It sometimes leaves anti-aliasing artifacts around lines but they should be much easier to touch up than how people were filling colour before. It might also think two similar-looking colours are the same thing but it's the best I can do for now! Updated the index pawception game list to have a maximum, and default to 'in progress' games. You can view every single one from the standalone pawception page, but the index is meant just for a summary of the latest things. Profile followers/following views now have a scroll bar to stop the page becoming unbearably long, and are ordered by most recent follower/followed user. Hopefully fixed a bug where you can accidentally submit duplicate pawprints (if refreshing or lagging I assume), it now checks to see if you have tried to submit the same image within the last minute.

Direct messaging system! It's very basic, but somewhat self explanatory. You can find it next to your notifications in the top right. To start a conversation with someone, just click the message button on their profile. You can now set a PayPal e-mail in your profile settings, which will enable other users to tip you and put their name on your profile in the brand new tips tab! You are able to select from the most common currencies to use for this. Drawing a pawprint will now save as a local draft until it's cleared or sent. This means, if you draw something and then leave the page (either accidentally or on purpose), it will be restored when you next return. This is volatile and shouldn't be trusted in all cases, I don't know exactly when the draft will clear from your local storage by itself, but it should solve some issues with lost pawprints due to browser problems. Fixed some issues with the tooltip from badges being cut off underneath the drawing canvas and some avatars not showing up on the homepage... god I hate CORS headers. The message limit when sending a report has been raised from 100 to 500 characters, 'cus it was a little too short for some complex reports. Made it so pawceptions in progress once again show up if you've already participated, but they are not clickable and appear slightly transparent. Also fixed an issue where the draft wasn't clearing after submitting a pawception drawing, as it had different code handling it. Pawceptions also now show a preview, just like other pawprints, so you can confirm you actually want to send it. The styling has been updated too, so it looks prettier on different window sizes & mobile :3 Everyone may have been logged out as I've changed some stuff that might fix some people randomly logging out. Let me know if that's any better now! Fixed a bug (hopefully) where the last user's avatar you looked at will show up in the avatar editor if you didn't already have one.

Added a very basic followers system that will be added to later - you can pretty much only follow other users and get notifications for being followed right now. I've added tabs to the profile to show your followers and people who follow you. While testing this I noticed that the notifications from followers might get a bit spammy, so now there's several options to fine tune your notifications in your profile settings. Some more styling improvements - before, the code for the drawing canvas in your profile and from the widget were separate. They're both using the same code now so I don't have to update two things if I change or add anything to the drawing system. When sending a pawprint it now displays a preview window with the image you're gonna send and a final yes/no prompt. This is just to aid against accidentally sending a pawprint when you weren't finished or sending a NSFW pawprint as SFW. Added some extra notes to the pawception game turns to set some ground rules. I don't want people to derail the games, so hopefully this will ensure that. On the subject of pawception, I've now fully hidden incomplete games that you've participated in from even showing up on the homepage or pawception games list. Now you should only be able to see finished games and ones you haven't yet joined in on! Also added a reports page accessible from the navigation bar at the top, where you can submit bugs, disallowed content reports, or even suggestions for new things to add to the site! Finally, hopefully fixed a bug where pawception turns could be submitted simultaneously. Please let me know if something broke.

Several styling improvements including moving the username editor to the profile settings window, and hiding the initial prompt from pawception games until it's completed. I've also changed up the colour picker in the drawing canvases to also include the last 5 used colours - this saves locally so your colours don't get reset every time you open the editor. I added a very basic levelling system; profiles now have levels and you gain XP from various tasks on the site. Badges, pawprints, participating in pawception, referring users etc. all award XP. Right now all it does is give you a fancy badge next to your username in certain places. Oh, and I changed the updates page to this.. I think having it actually written out feels more personal and way less corporate. We also don't need to know every single little bug fix, y'know? It makes it easier for me also.

I've added a referrals system - in your profile settings window you will find a referral link you can send to friends. When signing up with this link (or writing your username in manually) it will increase your referred users statistic. I've also added a badge for referring a certain number of users :3 I've added the skeleton of a very basic animation system for pawprints, allowing some of them to record the drawing process and be replayed later. This isn't currently active as it's wildly inefficient, but it's a start. Some pretty big styling changes; in Pawception I've added little badges to show the current game state, and also hidden the current turn entirely if you've already participated to make it more of a mystery. The index page has also been completely reworked, making the profiles smaller and giving regular members their own username colour. In the profile I've added BBCode support and allowed new lines. You can now make 'em a bit prettier with links, colours and other stylings. There's buttons in the editor to show you exactly what you can do!
