LinkHi! There's some controversy about that whole HTTP/HTTPS thing, so let's me get this straight:
-if you get HTTPS on your address bar (https://flipanim.com), and you have padlock there - it's all good, you don't need to do anything,
-if you are using HTTP address (http://flipanim.com) and see warning message on top - just go to https://flipanim.com, that's all.
HTTP and HTTPS versions don't share saved editor data. This is just how modern web browsers work. So if you have some unfinished work on HTTP editor then you must upload it or export your project to file and import it on HTTPS editor.
Secured HTTPS version was available from the start of the FlipAnim. It was just optional. You were also redirected to HTTPS version when you were logging in or registering. All it changes now is that you will be always redirected to HTTPS version on every FlipAnim page.
HTTPS is encrypted and more secure version of HTTP and you should always use it, not only on FlipAnim!

LinkAnd I know that some of you use https as your secondary editor. Sorry about that, but in this case cyber security of all users of FlipAnim is more important than "second slot" for another animation.
As a quick workaround for that - all of you can try to use secondary browser (like Chrome and Firefox) or even incognito mode (if you will to draw quick anims without saving them) to draw your second animation.
Sorry for that inconvenience.

LinkFlipanim. I know you're probably busy with other important things in life but can you try make a change where when you upload a file it would go in front of your animation instead of deleting your animation and replacing it with your file. I know it might be the file and not the code but if you can find a way please do! Thanks for caring about our safety :) (sorry if this is complicated)

Also I've made some other smaller changes and bugfixes on backend side (so it's not too spectacular for you):
-upgraded database server, so overall speed of site should be better - hopefully! Let me know if you still got noticeable slowdowns when getting from page to page on flipanim,
-fixed laggy followed users notification counter - there was lag loading any flipanim page when you got many notifications,
-fixed laggy profile pages - especially those with many animations and comments,
-fixed laggy search function - it works a bit different than before, but you can add asterisk on end of the word to search for similar words (like "test*" will also search for test and testing),
-fixed bug where sometimes animation titles were cut at the end,
-sorted followers list from newest to oldest.
And yes, I know beta editor can be laggy on more complicated animations. Unfortunately that's how vector images works - it must store and sometimes redraw every line that you draw from the beginning of your animation. That's why you can undo/redo everything or scale/rotate frames without quality loss. I'll try to optimize it. Or even go back to bitmap images from original editor.
i recon bitmap would work better, i mean it's up to you but then files from the original editor wouldn't look so out of place on the nex editor
Fill then make the square grid size then copy and paste it till u make a shape
i don't understand why people got annoyed
like you're trying to help them no get attacked by the not good stuff
like damn,,
I hope your fine. But I have a problem. When I go into people's accounts there followers and there likes and there anims disappear? Can you fix that?
it only says "flipanim.com" in the adress bar. and when i click the bar it doesnt add HTTPS or HTTP, it just highlights the text. but it does have the lock icon. am i still fine?
oh thank you, i looked it up to see what was up
thats great, it was really laggy before you did so, thank you!🌹
Though, when some users follow me, it wont show for me to check who.
oh, i dont know if you fixed it or not but now i can see them so um anyway
thanks!♡
The follower order keeps changing. I was wondering if you could clear up why this is happening. (Unless it's meant to change)
Thank you!, i was experiencing ALOT of lag on flipanim everyday, seems like its fixed now
Oh and FA I have a glitch-
A bug possibly.
When I check how many followers I currently have, sometimes I have 0 followers, but then I check on my account and I still have 81.
Or currently, all my followers are mixed up.
BettyStar followed me first, but now she’s at the bottom.
Aerozria followed me half way through my current followers, he’s now at the top, e.t.c.

Well, it could be the case where that user unfollowed and then refollowed you. Current order shows when the user was followed you for the last time, not when followed for the first time.
Also it's more about that in fact previous version of list was scrambled (it wasn't really ordered by anything) and currently it looks like scrambled because it's finally ordered by something. ;)
Flipanim, can u make something where u can upload files on mobile
Yes, yes. Quite good. I still don't understand why we aren't allowed to stalk and kill those who cyber-attack us. Its much more entertaining. Still, you are a good fellow for trying to fix these issues.
Thank fa
Sorry for every screaming child forcing you to give them a dumb golden star
Hope ur day goes well
Wait sorry can you slow down I has question, What if you don have the HTTPS??
TY aa im glad you pointed out the order change in the followers i was so confused XD
Thank you for working hard to fix the website and to make a lovely experience for us users.
Thanks! I have a question though.
It wont let me use the beta editor on my ipad, it gets stuck on the “loading new editor” screen. Is there any way i can fix it?
I just wanted to say thanks for all the features and the wonderful website you provided us with :)
Ohhh you know what would be so cool if you could like draw your own flipanim background
Hi flipanim! when i first go into flipanim, it says "You are using insecure connection to Flipanim *sad emoji* Click here to use Https version!" I click Https and i just continue to animate. Is that all I have to do?
Hey, so uh. I have a glitch. It says I have no option to like anything on everything except for my own posts? Their's just no option to like. Help me please.

Would it be possible to allow me to change my email? Some of my friends and I have emails that are going to be deleted next year or the year after. We don't want to loose our stuff. Thanks!
can there be a way to have a different name to username
i think this way hacking will be less often because people dont know the users username to hack.
for example:
visible name :bloopbloop
username: something
can we also have some more tools in beta editor, like some with square tips, a blur tool, and smudge. and can the color pallet save between animations so we dont have to re find it every time :)
@FlipAnim, @GoodArtPerson is getting hacked.
we all most likely think it's @-KittyAnimations-
