My Favorite Glitch: Project Thumbnails as Profile Pictures

This is the strangest and weirdest glitch I've seen on Scratch. I honestly find it hilarious, and I love it so much. I figure I'll post about it here in case a Scratch Team member wants to patch it, and if nothing else, in case someone else wants to try it.

So, I know of a glitch that allows you to turn your profile picture into a project thumbnail. It's pretty easy replicable. On an iPhone, here are the steps to recreate it:
Sign into your Scratch account.

Go find a thumbnail picture that you want to change your profile picture to. This can either be a project thumbnail, a studio thumbnail, or someone else's profile picture.

Tap and hold the thumbnail until you see the option to copy it — then, click “Copy.”

Go to your profile and paste the copied URL into a comment. You don't even need to post the comment.

Refresh the page, and then your profile picture will be changed!
Sometimes it can be a little annoying when I'm browsing Scratch on mobile and I actually need to copy a project URL for a comment on my profile, but either way it's strange enough for me to enjoy it.

I have also recently discovered that it works on a laptop as well. Here are the steps I take to make it work:
Sign into your Scratch account.

Go find a thumbnail picture that you want to change your profile picture to. This can either be a project thumbnail, a studio thumbnail, or someone else's profile picture.

Right-click on the thumbnail and click “Copy Image.”

Go to your profile and paste the copied URL into a comment. You don't even need to post the comment. Unlike the above, nothing will actually be pasted.

Refresh the page, and then your profile picture will be changed!

WOW! That is sooo cool!

Probably an effect of the drag and drop feature.

It might be because of the drag-and-drop to update your pfp feature

It doesn't

@Za-Chary is mainly a moderator and isn't really connected to the website development. Only a few ST members actually are involved in the website's development.

I'm a programmer, ethical hacker, and space nerd!
