- Censor related
- - Word & URL filters have been added. Can be enabled/disabled in profile.

- - You can now choose your top 5 submissions to be based off number of faves, number of votes, or newest.
- - Excessively long profile text now gets scrollbars in a box so the page isn't miles long.

Edit: April fools.
