I was wondering if there's any way to retrieve the image file I uploaded as my profile picture. I have no backup of it anywhere else on my computer that I know of, and I'd really like it back. I'm sure it's stored in some server related to MIT, but I wouldn't know how to access that.

I'd really like some help from official Scratch Team people on this, if possible.

Go to your profile, right-click on your picture and select Copy Image. Paste it into Paint and save. smile

I think s/he changed his/her picture and now wants the old one back, but doesn't have the file.

Unfortunately, I don't believe it's possible to retrieve old icons. I'm fairly certain the old icon is wiped when the new one is uploaded. So I'm afraid I can't help you here.

Jonathanpb: I did, before you suggested that. The picture you get from copy/paste is lower resolution than the original. Not what I'm looking for.

Kiley/coolstuff: Not quite; what I'm looking for is a way to get my current one back, as a file, in its original full res. As I said, I'm certain my current file (or some version of it) is saved somewhere within MIT's Scratch database - otherwise, how would the site know what to display on my profile page at this very moment?

It's not an immense issue, like a software bug, and I did get the (albeit pixelated) copy from the site. I'm just looking for the original file, in high res.

Is this it? hmm If not, I don't think there's a way to get it.

The original, non-high-res file is stored on the site, but I'm afraid the file you're looking for isn't on the website. Which is a shame, I know.
