We just launched a new Supporter perk: Custom profile borders!
Tired of feeling like a square peg in a round hole? Now you can be a square peg in a pentagon, hexagon, octagon, square, rhombus, heart or star hole, among others! You'll also get a color border based on the link color you've chosen on your user page.
To try this feature, become a Supporter and click Edit Profile on your profile page. To the right of your profile picture you’ll see a button for "Icon Options.” This will open up the tool to re-crop your picture and choose from a variety of shapes.
This feature came to us during development of our April Fools prank: Dankmen NFTs. @PsychoGoldfish had to update a lot of pages to support pentagon-shaped profile pictures and we thought it would be best to build something that works as a lasting feature.
Thank you everyone who has been supporting NG!
When you support Newgrounds, you’re keeping one of the last big independent websites on-line. You’re preserving over 25 years of content, a lot of which only exists on NG. You’re funding ongoing development and new features, to keep the site evolving and functioning. Every day there is cool new stuff to see on NG and lots of history to explore. It hasn’t been easy to keep this going and we greatly appreciate all the support we can get!
If you can’t support Newgrounds financially, you can still help out a lot by voting and reviewing! With everything going on this past weekend, I hadn’t noticed how backed up the Under Judgment list had gotten for games and movies. Voting on under judgment entries helps immensely to make sure everything gets seen.
Hope everyone enjoys the update! We have another update coming to user pages this week, if all goes as planned.
