Profile

Accounts and the profiles associated with them were added in November 2013 to handle chat and forum discussions. In 2015, the ability to save sequences under a profile was added, which is now the primary function of profiles. Profiles are also required to use the chat, but sending messages is restricted until the account is 24 hours old for security reasons and for preventing spam. Now, it also requires people to make a song before using forums.

Pictures

With profiles come profile pictures, which can be set via the User Control Panel on the forum. Simple images work best as profile pictures are usually displayed as tiny icons. Forum profiles are the only place on the site where they can be displayed at full size, which is still only 100x100 pixels. Animated GIFs can be used for a profile picture and should be displayed correctly.

Please note that some group membership changes, like Supporter and Contest Winner, are not made automatically, and must be done by a moderator. Group memberships are specific to the OS site/forum and Discord roles are only on Discord. Many of them are identical between them. On Discord, a user's most important role usually indicates their name color, and all of a user's roles can be seen on their public profile. On the OS website, a single group membership can be displayed at a time, and a menu exists within the forum to choose which one this is.
