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.

Fixed zooming while drawing. Using your scroll wheel will zoom in to where your mouse is, and vice versa, making it easier to draw finer details. This doesn't work on mobile, sorry mobile user(s)!

I've also re-ordered the pawception games list - ongoing will have the oldest first, completed will have the newest first, so old ones don't get hidden by all the new ones we've been getting.

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.

You can now select between square and circle brushes for both eraser and brush tools.

You can zoom in further than before, and it will show an accurate pixel grid to make pixel art easier.

The brush cursor preview has been updated to be more accurate.

- 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

Got bored so I made a furry clone of Wordle. If you've never played it, there's a random 5-letter word you have 6 chances to guess every day. Orange means you got the right letter in the wrong place, green means right letter in the right place. Check it out here: https://pawprint.ing/furdle

For janitors - we can add new 5 letter words in the janitor/admin panels. Try to aim for 'real' words that someone could reasonably guess :3

Whew, some bigger changes here:

- All pawprints you draw are now put on your profile, even if you've sent them to someone else. You can hide them from your profile which doesn't delete them and you can return them back to your profile through the pawprint settings. This way you can always show off all art you drew and put them into collections without having to rely on the scrapbook.
- Statistics and avatar history are back, in your user profile. I've added a few extra stats too.
- You can now use NSFW pawprints as avatars, but you have to crop them in a way that isn't outwardly NSFW (a lil' nonspecific fluid is fine, but no outright genitalia or obvious sex acts).

For janitors:

- Janitors are no longer allowed to edit a user's profile that isn't their own. Honestly I kinda forgot they could do this and it should be an admin thing only. (There's only like, one active janitor that does any janitor work so this wasn't really used at all anyway).
- Janitors can now edit the tags of each entry in a pawception before the game ends, in case some tags need to be fixed.
- All staff can now delete the avatar of a user if it's a bit too NSFW and send them a message as to why it was removed.

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?

There's now a fancier and easier way to set parents. When drawing pawprints (not in events or pawception games), you can click the big 'parent' box to set a parent from either one of your 20 most recent pawprints, or a direct ID if it's one you drew. Use this to easily group alts together!

Also, a question: is the 'avatar mode' actually needed? Since you can crop any pawprint to be an avatar, I was thinking it'd make it a lot easier to code pawprint drawing if I didn't have to worry about also working on the avatar mode, as it's a little finnicky sometimes.

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!

More boring update today. I've made it so clicking on a pawprint will open a little window with a full-size view of it, and some extra information. While doing this I've updated pawprints in general to be consistent everywhere.

Fixed some issues where right-click was not erasing while drawing, re-added missing buttons to highlight and delete pawprints, and added notifications for anonymous and guest pawprints.

You can also now select from latest, random, and top for both pawprints and profiles on the homepage!

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.

Several users have reported not participating in pawception due to how specific they've been getting. I'd like to reiterate that pawception is meant to be vague and not specifically name characters or media that you'd like art from. To combat this, I expanded on the pawception rules slightly and added little one-time popups that'll appear the first time you visit pawception, furdle or pawzzles.

The important change is describe, don't name. If you see someone's character, describe them, do not directly name them (this excludes maple as he's the site mascot). For example - if someone draws my raccoon Kalen, don't prompt 'kalen eating beans', write 'a raccoon eating beans'. Especially do not make prompts like 'draw X character doing Y action from Z obscure tv series', that is not what pawception is about!

From now on staff will be checking pawceptions and either deleting games or changing prompts entirely (instead of adding a second prompt) if they break these rules. Existing games are fine, but this will affect new games from now on. Let's keep it fun for everyone.

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.

- Expanded suggestion categories, pawprint cooldown, and fixed spacing on the profile bio.
- Updated the profile header to include whether or not the user is accepting art trades (adjustable in settings) and requests.
- Added a global and per-user cooldown to pawprints. 10 per day for now globally, but users can reduce the amount of pawprints from the same user per day in their settings.
- Added the ability for janitors to respond to user reports.
- Fixed an issue with your own requests not showing up.
- Fixed an issue where character avatars appeared as a broken image if the user couldn't see them.
- Fixed an issue where the old /pawprint link was being used instead of /view, causing issues.
- Fixed an issue with pawception drawings giving an error when trying to submit them.
- Updated profile navigation, it shows labels and condenses extra tabs into a 'more' dropdown if your window is too small for them all.
- Moved flipbooks, scrapbooks and drafts to special collections/folders in the gallery. Drafts are only visible to you, but flipbooks and scrapbooks are public by default (but can be disabled in user settings so only you can see them).
- Added a report button to pawprint and flipbook cards, that takes you to the postbox on the correct page with the link filled out already.
- Added more categories to each section of the postbox.
- You can now suggest event themes in the postbox.

- Pawprint remixing. You can now set your pawprints to be able to be remixed, allowing anyone to make alts/variants of a pawprint. It will load into a new page with all layers, etc. and always be linked back to the one it came from. You will always be able to make remixes of your own pawprints, making it easier to make alts of your own work.

- Raffles now show your request message, and let you edit them if the raffle has not ended yet.

- Latest news / latest event now show up even when the community section on the index is closed, so you always get reminded of what's goin' on.

- Added name/descriptions to flipbooks, same as pawprints.

- Fixed journal notifications repeating the same message.

- Added tooltips to badges on pawprints to let you know what they mean.

- Added extra assurances to make sure people don't modify the canvas and send weird pawprint sizes.

The problem: Drafts were too volatile. Since they were saved on your PC in browser storage, clearing your cache or looking at it wrong could wipe it, which kinda sucked if your power went out and you lost something you were working on.

The solution: Drafts are now fully server-side, being stored in the database. It may take half a second longer to load/save a draft, but you do get to see a fancy lil' load/save spinner while drawing! This way you will never accidentally lose a WIP draft and it will always be tied to your account, not your computer. If you have an alt account, it won't load drafts from your main account.

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.

In your user settings in the first tab, there's a new section for connections - allowing you to input your e621 username, API key (you can get this on your e621 account settings), and preferred artist tag. When these are set and correct, you will be able to share any pawprints directly to e621 in the pawprint settings page, assuming you are both the artist and the owner of it.

This is completely opt-in, you control everything and your API key is encrypted so even I cannot see it.

I will like to say that e621 has quality control - it's possible lower quality pawprints may be removed, so use this for ones you're especially proud of and would otherwise upload somewhere else anyway :3

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!
