Adjustments:
* Added back the date that news posts were originally posted.
* When claiming a lioness, there is now a link to return to the biome you were exploring when you found her in the success message. (Suggestion: LINK)

Bug Fixes
* Gold Beetles should now correctly be awarded to the winner of a One Winner Takes All raffle.
* Using "Choose For Me" when setting lionesses to hunt should now set 5 lionesses every time, assuming you have 5 lionesses eligible to hunt. If you have less than 5 eligible lionesses, it should set the correct number every time.
* Cubs that have been frozen will no longer be removed from their current cave when the original mother gives birth to a new litter.
* Birthday and Anniversary gifts not being awarded should now be fixed. Previously there were some issues with timezones where, if you rolled over too late in the day it wouldn't reward you the gifts.
* Discarding stacks of items from the hoard page, or any items from the hoard overview page, should now correctly store an entry in your userlog.
* Pinned Bookmarks should now appear in alphabetical order.
* When destroying the record of a Former Pride member, any equipped items should be restored to your Hoard if they have any uses left.
* Changing a lion's skin color will no longer log in your userlog as "nose color".
* Highest Daily Scores for the Reptile Roundup game has now been populated after long months of emptiness.
* Lionesses should no longer display "No living cubs" if she has living cubs.
* Adolescents should no longer trigger notifications of leaving for hunger/mood reasons. This has been a feature since the start of the game that all lions under the age of 2 are protected from hunger and mood statuses, but unfortunately it got lost in translation down the line and notifications started appearing for them.
* Various small typos have been amended throughout the site.

Developer Livestream
Next Saturday, 13th January, we will be hosting a Lioden Developer Livestream!
The stream will be hosted on Xylax's twitch channel and all creators will be there , Abbey and Xylax will be talking and Kitty will be in charge of the chat! - LINK

We want to discuss with you how we can improve day to day things on Lioden. Which features seem clunky and unintuitive to you? What took you a while to learn when you first joined? Which features had no introduction to you through the game and you instead had to seek knowledge from other members or the wiki? Which parts of the layout don't make sense to you? Most importantly: how would you improve them?

We will also be dedicating 30 minutes of this livestream for a Lioden Q&A - if you have any questions for the owners (Abbey, Kitty or Xylax) or the development team as a whole please submit your questions via this form:
https://goo.gl/forms/wZVl63MxQFHCNUrd2

The form will be closing on Thursday to give us time to look through them. We will be sorting through the questions that we think would be really interesting to answer, or maybe questions that we want to answer to provide insight to the development of Lioden.

The livestream will be held at approximately 12pm Lioden time - please check Lioden time against your local timezone. Lioden time can be found on the sidebar near the top of the page.

Shad will be updating tags today with the Novel tags in January section!

Polls and dev notes
I can see people are in favour of updating Vitiligos (1k votes vs 174) but there's plenty of people in my opinion to be in favour of old design, enough for me to think it'd hurt them - they liked what they bred for, and what they paid for what they liked until now.

I think it'd be unfair to change it, HOWEVER since the poll results seem to want an updated look, I have another idea, based on a talk with a member.
I would be up for turning all existing Vitiligo 1 - 2's names into another marking (let's say, Snow 1 & 2), so current lions stay the same, just the name of marking changes, and then release a new Vitiligo 1 and 2 in raffles as completely new markings.
They'd be quite similar in the looks but crispier. If you'd like a small change to their designs, art suggestion boards are the way to go! It will take longer time before I'd do this anyway, so you have time to gather supports!
Note - I am not able to add them affecting manes right now, mane markings need to be separate.

LINK - So what do you think of this idea? Cast your vote in the poll! If you agree, you're welcome to suggest the current Vitiligo 1 & 2 new name ideas in the forums of course!
