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:

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.

The feed now shows new users and avatars. As before, if you don't want your stuff to appear on the feed, you can disable it with the 'hide from feed' option in your profile settings!

There's now a live feed of activity on the site, accessible via the button on the left side of the page. If you prefer not to appear in the feed, you can disable it in your profile settings.

Mobile users can swipe from the left edge of their screen to open it. The feed updates periodically, along with the index page, which now refreshes live. You'll be notified of new activity, including pawprints, comments, characters, event entries and votes, as well as Pawception games and submissions.

There's a new setting at the bottom of your profile settings called 'Ironpaw Mode'. This will disable most fancy tools while drawing, limiting you to just the basics and a standard colour palette. Use this if you want a tougher drawing experience! It will also save to the pawprint itself which mode you're on, showing everyone if it was made in Ironpaw Mode.

There is now a collections panel next to the gallery in your profile. Here you can organise pawprints on your pawprints into folders, and it still works perfectly with the latest/random/top tabs. When creating a collection, you're able to set a name, icon to use, and a parent. This basically means you can create subfolders (at most 1 level deep, so no sub-subfolders) and organise pawprints even further. If you wish to re-order them, simply drag them around by their name and it will save the new position!

You can add pawprints to a collection the same way you delete or highlight them, click on the little action menu under the pawprint image, and select 'collections'. You can add a pawprint to as many collections as you'd like.

There's now a new tab on your profile for a Scrapbook, it's effectively replacing the created pawprints page with a scrapbook-style grid of all pawprints you've drawn, accessible from your profile directly. The size of pawprints in your scrapbook is determined by how many paws ups its received - 10+ is medium, 20+ is large.

You're now able to set website links on your profile with support for twitter/X, bluesky and deviantart, and up to 3 custom URLs for other sites you want to link to. They only show up for other users if they're set.

- There is now a pan tool that lets you move the canvas around. This can also be accessed by holding space while the canvas is focused (e.g. you clicked on it)
- There is a button to reset zoom and pan to default, in case you lose the canvas or want to get it back to how it was originally.
- Fixed hotkeys working from anywhere on the page if the pawprint drawing window is there. You have to focus the canvas to use ctrl+c / ctrl+v or any other of the keyboard shortcuts.

- Put all actions for pawprints on your profile in their own little menu instead of having a ton of buttons on every pawprint.
- You can now send a pawprint from your profile to anyone else's, this is helpful if something was accidentally drawn for the wrong user or you just want to save to your profile before sending it to someone for real. The user it's sent to will have to manually confirm it. The profile that any pawprint is on can be changed with this, if you have any of your own pawprints you'd like to send to other people.
- Fixed the completed page for events being way too bright on dark mode.
- Fixed some other dark mode-related issues with various pages.

I fixed the styling and adjusted how Pawception looks, with a new logo specifically for it. Let me know what you think!

The canvas no longer scales up, instead you can zoom to make it fill the area. This is so you can see exactly what it's supposed to look like when fully zoomed out. I've also updated the code a bit so now where you click is almost exactly where you'll draw - useful on the pixel level. I also removed the blur that kinda masked what the final drawing was gonna look like.

You can now crop pawprints on your profile into avatars, it retains the correct author when doing so. Look for the funny theatre mask icon by pawprints on your profile! This is fairly limited (no zooming or anything, strict 200x200 crop) as I still think drawing avatars is better!

Fixed alt-tab causing colour picker and drawing to get stuck.

Users can now set who referred them to the site in their profile settings. This can only be set once, and will disallow you from changing it if it is set.

Unconfirmed pawprints being confirmed will now send a notification to the discord, as other pawprints do.

Okay I didn't wanna bury the transparency stuff so soon but I've just enabled sending avatars to any user. By switching to avatar mode when drawing on anyone's profile, you can draw them an avatar which will go into their avatar history section and they will be able to set it as their current avatar! Hooray.

Remember, you can click on the 'Latest Update' text above this on the homepage to view all past updates, or just info -> updates in the navigation bar at the top of the page.

Pawprints and avatars now start out as transparent with the cool checkerboard pattern. I realised there's no real point in disallowing it, so you're welcome to make pawprints with transparent backgrounds if you wish! (simply fill the canvas with a colour if you don't want a transparent background)

The preview lets you toggle backgrounds so you can see how it looks against a light or dark theme.

It was a lot harder than I expected, but DM messages are now live and even show you if the other person is typing. This should sort a lot of the issues that people were having with the old DM system, and it feels a bit more like discord chatting!

Now I have this system, I can implement things like live updates or even a twitter-style feed that updates without having to refresh.
