Pawzzle Management

2025-09-25T07:22:58

Creators of pawzzles can now remove the drawn content of any tile or even a claim by other users. This won't delete the drawn stuff outright, it'll send it to their profile so it becomes just a normal pawprint. You can also do this to your own tiles even if you're not the creator, so you can give up your tile claims if you don't want to finish it. Bug Fixes: - Fixed the notifications page not correctly deleting individual notifications. - Fixed pawzzles allowing people to claim multiple tiles but not finish any of them. - Fixed certain features showing up when editing an event pawprint when they're supposed to be disabled. - Updated discord notifications to show sfw, mature and adult pawprints that don't have specific tags discord doesn't like.

You Spin Me Right Round

2025-09-22T16:12:49 | 6 comments

You're now able to rotate the pawprint canvas using the new 'rotate' tool button! Using this, you can rotate what you're working on by 90 degrees, letting you get better drawing angles, or even create completely vertical pawprints if you need to draw somethin' extra long. Draft saving should work fine with rotations, and as usual some stuff might be broken that I haven't quite found yet. Let me know if you see anything! Other updates: - Adjusted the styling of comments so they should fit more on a page before scrolling is needed. Temporary fix, will look into redoing it entirely later. - If a character is referenced in a pawprint, the character will be linked in the pawprint view page. - Fixed shape tools not working for some reason.

New Styling

2025-02-16T21:53:51

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.

Zoom/Pan Functionality Update

2025-02-06T16:30:17

- 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.

Warnings & Return To Sender

2025-03-08T13:18:56

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.

Discord Server!

2025-01-27T23:47:56

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.

Tag Autocomplete

2025-01-30T16:26:03

When searching for specific tags in the search page it will autocomplete for any used tag on the site, starting at two letters (writing te will show you test as a possible tag). You can still use tags that have never been used before, but it should help to remind you what a tag you want is called. This also works when editing/suggesting tags and creating new pawprints. Underscores and spaces are used synonymously in search now too, so 'test_tag' and 'test tag' will work the same. I've added the character's tag to the character page so anyone drawing it knows exactly what to tag it with.

Marking

2025-03-03T11:51:16

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.

NSFW Pawception Copies and Event Changes

2025-01-26T00:29:06

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 <.<

Basic Fill Tool and General Fixes

2025-01-19T21:29:46

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.

Display Names

2025-01-28T02:32:55

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.

Referrals and Animations

2025-01-15T18:42:25

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!

Who up pawp'ing their rints?

2025-10-12T18:53:22 | 7 comments

There's now a brush cursor preview when drawing just like in other drawing programs, to make it easier to see where you're going to draw. This should help a lot with things like pixel art. If it seems 'slow', it's because it's forced to the pixel grid, so there isn't that much I can do about it without it being inaccurate. Let me know if you don't like this and I could maybe add an option to remove it. Other Changes/Fixes: - We pink now! New logo/favicon/style. The brown was really boring and corporate so I want to try to spice things up a bit. - Layers can now be renamed, and don't get automatically renamed when moved around which caused some confusion. - Fixed donation tabs not showing up if you didn't have any donations, and also showing donations you've made instead of donations you've received. - Fixed eraser tool not having an initial dot, so you had to drag the mouse/pen in order to erase anything. - Fixed some older events not having set the winners correctly.

Character Page and Tag Suggestions

2025-01-30T00:55:10

On everyone's profile, there's now a characters tab, this feature was highly requested! It's pretty basic right now, but you can: - Create any number of OCs for people to read about and draw. - Set up to 6 colours that can be copied to recent colours, letting you draw in exactly the right colours. - Set a reference URL, either to an image (ideally not NSFW if it's just an image) or a page somewhere with your character's references. - Set a tag to be associated with that character, the gallery on the character's page will show all pawprints with that tag. Also, you can now add tags if there were none before, and suggest tag changes on any pawprint! The 'owner' of the pawprint will get a notification to accept/deny the changes.

Notifications, Paws Ups, and Drawing Improvements

2025-01-09T19:53:18

Added notifications for new pawprints on your profile. There's a bell icon at the top right in the navigation bar that will update whenever you get a new notification for something. I will be adding to this in the future with more features. Added the ability to copy and paste pawprints. The main reason I added this is just in case the site breaks, you can copy a drawing in progress and paste it into notepad to be restored later. You can now stabilise your brush like in many popular drawing programs. This will slow down the drawing to make it easier to draw smooth lines. The value of stabilization can be changed at will. Added the much requested undo/redo feature! You can now undo any mistakes. This may not fix a broken marriage. Added the ability to embed your personal drawing canvas onto any website, letting people send you pawprints from afar. The link to this is in your own profile page. Added the paws up feature. This is effectively a ratings or likes system for pawprints, letting people show just how much they like a drawing!

Symmetry and Privacy

2025-01-10T20:32:06

In something I personally wanted to add, you can now toggle symmetry while drawing! This will switch between horizontal, vertical, and both. You can also now set your profile to private, which will stop your profile, or any pawprints sent to you, from being shown elsewhere on the site. You can still receive pawprints, but only you will know they exist! You can change this from your profile settings. On the theme of privacy, you can also now block users. Blocked users cannot interact with you and their content will be hidden from you. Use this if someone makes stuff you don't like! Added a very basic rules page, accessible from the navigation bar at the top, to explain our basic rules when it comes to pawprinting.

Comments and Badges

2025-01-12T18:21:50

I've added the ability for users to comment on pawprints, accessible by clicking the message box icon below a shown pawprint image. These will create relevant notifications to whoever will need to see them. Please don't spam or abuse this feature -w- In a throwback to the forums of old, I've also made a badges system! Completing certain milestones, or being awarded certain ones by moderators, will give you special badges that are shown on your profile. You will get a notification when badges are earned.
