New features

• [MOD] We've implemented a new job task system which should work better than our existing one. Currently only alias approvals use it
• Comments and forum posts are now created and displayed on the page when submitted, instead of loading a new page. You'll still have to refresh to see other people's new comments/forum posts, though
• Notice/error bars now snap to the top of the window if you scroll down past them, meaning they are always visible, no matter what
• Improved the look of the news, blocked, and unread mail bars
• You can now mark all Dmail as read and hide the unread mail bar by clicking the X button on it
• DText color tags can now be used in Dmails for privileged+ users
• Removed "Post without bumping" for comments since it's utterly pointless and just caused problems internally
• Overhauled the password storage system (don't worry, we don't and never did store plaintext passwords). You shouldn't notice any difference but a password change is recommended to switch to the new, more secure system
• The user settings page now has section titles, and the Save/Cancel buttons are always visible at the bottom of the window

• Post tag histories no longer generate blank edits, and existing blank edits will soon be purged from the database
• Post tag history now uses a different pagination method, meaning we don't have to limit members to the first page
• Post tag history now has more search/filter options

• Email activation is now required for new accounts
• Emails are now correctly formatted, come in HTML and plaintext flavors, and should set off spam filters far less often
• Two accounts can no longer share the same email address

Bug fixes / minor things

• [ADMIN] The admin user-password-reset page works much better
• [ADMIN] IP addresses should no longer be messed up by Cloudflare, and missing IPs are now 0.0.0.0 instead of 1.3.3.7
• [ADMIN] Implemented a new IP log system
• [JANITOR] The post mode dropdown under the search bar on the post index now allows deleting and undeleting posts

• The forum index now shows snippets of a thread when hovering over the title
• Post page titles are now "Post #xxx: artist_tag" instead of a giant list of every tag on the post. This should be much more useful for things like browser tabs
• Commenting now redirects you to the post's page instead of the comment index, if you commented from the post's page
• Set/pool notice messages now have more information (for example: "post #1 added to set 'Some Set'" instead of "Post added to set")
• Added lots of links to the subnav bar on user pages
• Artist help page now has instructions on linking user accounts to an artist tag
• comment/show is no longer limited to Member+
• Very long comments with no spaces are now force-wrapped
• You are no longer flagged as having unread mail if you send a Dmail to yourself
• Image size limit is now 15000x15000 or smaller, instead of 14999x14999 or smaller
• Fixed 'species' being listed twice, in place of 'character' somewhere in the API help page
• Cleaned up the post thumbnail HTML, no differences to users except that the blue hover tooltip showing the tags (which didn't work very well anyway) was removed and replaced with a standard browser tooltip
• Fixed FA source cleanup/conversion not working for FA usernames with tildes
• Comment, forum post, and blip links (Respond, report, etc.) are now hidden when not logged in
• Deleted post thumbs can now be clicked on to visit the post page
• On deleted post pages, there's now a placeholder "Deleted image" image instead of no image at all
• Made unread topics easier to distinguish from read topics in the pony, bloodlust, and serpent skins
• Changed the color of status notices on post pages (deleted, flagged, etc.) in some skins so they're the correct color
