Is is possible to view a user's previous profile pictures? I would like to see my old ones, like, really old ones.

All profile pictures use cdn2.scratch.mit.edu, and should still be in Scratch's servers, meaning it should be possible, right? Unless the images are replaced/deleted when the user gets a new profile picture.

Maybe using the Wayback machine, but not that I know of on the website.

No, you can't. You can however try using a snapshot of an older version of your profile.

*cries in there's not a single snapshot of my profile page*



Actually, I think I'm going to start snapshotting my profile page myself every now and then. That'll be cool.

Anyway back to the question.

It might be possible, actually- When I look myself up on Google Images, instead of my Current PFP, it's an old one of mine. A really old one. Same with one of my Projects.

It's possibly possible, but I wouldn't know how to do it.

I opened my old profile picture in a new tab, changed it and then opened the new one in a new tab and they have the same URL so I would assume they get replaced.

I highly, highly doubt there will ever be an official way.

Oof. But then, how was Bluebatstar able to see their old profile picture?

Because Googlebot saved it?

Once I searched a user's profile picture, and I saw their old PFP. I won't link anything about it, because it will also show their private chat, etc.
You have to make sure that your username doesn't have anything that is similar to it, for example, searching my username won't have my PFP shown, the first results are my projects' thumbnails, then it started to show real companies called Byron, Inc.
I searched your username up, and I saw some of your projects' thumbnail, someone called xXTheDestroyer74Xx's PFP, one of your PFP, and your 2 signature banners.

Sorry, I don't know much about how Google works and whatnot. What is Googlebot?

Thanks, but I've already tried that tons of times. It shows so many random images, the possibility to find my old pfps from 2017 is very slim, if they were even saved that is. By the way, @xXTheDestroyer74Xx is my friend in real life.

Google's indexer that might sometimes save pictures. I don't know much about it either.
