Oh okay, I figured this out, I just disable the visibility option for the supporter. Well I'm mixed about it, but the borders will do for now. (Until I can get a better profile picture). Thanks @gimmick!
its time of the year

Can you tell us some?The user page update coming later this week will include a Supporter-only option to highlight suggested tags above your gallery. That was originally gonna be an everyone feature but has become part of our effort to increase the Supporter count.
So would the banner itself would only provide one link? Well I'm up for it, even it is a supporter-feature only.
Its the little things that Tom does that shows he really cares.
Make Newgrounds Great Again! Moderation should be fair, not abused.
So where are our dick shaped profile pictures?
But for real this is an awesome feature for the supporters.

Yeah, it all comes down to money at the end.
(Oh well, I'll just have to do with my hexagonal icon that now looks like a fake hexagonal border lmao)
good luck with that.

He's already mentioned that the border will only stay during your time as a supporter, meaning it would be gone if it expires.
It's a cute new feature, but I'm happy with Tiny Critter sitting in a circle. Makes it look like it's floating in a bubble!
Supporting Newgrounds is the best thing ever. Without this site, I would never have started making music. I haven't succeeded yet, but this site has definitely changed my life. Long live NG!
These seems to be some bugs with it. After changing the shape a couple times my icon just dissapears.
EDIT: Wait never mind, just needed time to load.
Froggo is always watching.

Using an April Fool's prank as an opportunity to make an actually really cool and fun feature is what makes Newgrounds such a great website.

Even though it made me very dissapointed cuz I hate NFTs.

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.

You'll likely need to upload a new profile picture before the tools become available to set your shape.
On my profile page my icon is different from my pfp though so is that why?
Aw man, I wont be able to keep my 10 year old different profile and icon pictures if I use this, so I guess I wont be displaying a heart or other wacky shapes around my icon, I do love the profile color on my icon outline though, everyone is looking super wild, fun!
Also, is there a reason, like storage or something like that, for user not being able to have different icon and profile pictures? I Or is it a choice? Never understood why that went away. Maybe thaaat could be a supporter perk?
In '22, Tom released this, Custom Profile Picture Shapes!, their most accomplished feature. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Square," a pfp shape so stylish most people probably don't pay attention to the geometry! But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of four corners and the importance of 90 degree bends, it's also a personal statement about the site itself!
thank you, Tom! now I can be a quirky little fellow and make my pfp a heart when, in fact, my content is not loveable or squishy!
haha! what an interesting juxtaposition!
I am sure for this to now net me large amounts of fans! hohoho.
What a neat feature! (・◇・)
i totally won't be switching between borders constantly from now on... indecisions!
I love the decision of showing the border outline color. Good stuff Tom!
Hi :D
I make pixel art. I am also working on an adventure game.
This was really cool until it didn't work and I learned why.
a feature i certainly never couldve predicted, but certainly welcome.
almost good enough to get me. almost.
Now that's something worth paying for!

Not only is that important for you, but it's true.
Imagine not being a NG supporter lmao. Only a fool wouldn't be able to change their profile border...
