The old smileys which this site has had forever are starting to really show their age. They were designed when 72dpi displays were all the rage ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ’ข :unibrow: :trout: Today, they are all blurry. What should we do? I lean towards hiding them and creating a special page on the site where we memorialize these smileys as something core to this siteโ€™s history. ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Works for me. Presumably, we could still get their paths and include them in an `[img]`. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/original/2X/d/d341fc558708a72039f04ca0dd01657942bcb4d4.gif) ---

Yes - that will totally be doable! I could even have it so that clicking on each of the smileys will copy the `img` path to the clipboard with the appropriate syntax needed for the forums :ninja: ---

I think we should keep them around on the forums. They look dated because they are, but that doesnโ€™t seem like a problem. ---

They donโ€™t all work on the forums. ex: `:sen:`: :sen: [edit: squishedness fixed, but now got scale blurring] `[img]`: ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/original/2X/5/598462a6a8fb25084c5f732e4d6047c442130d47.gif?v=5) There are also collisions with the built-in set. How would I get a normal, non-legacy winky ๐Ÿ˜‰ ? Is there even a way? ---

Embrace the retro pixelation. Modernize them, convert them to CSS โ€œbox-shadowโ€ via Canvas then onward to SVG. Then sell them as on-demand t-shirts, laptop static clings, temporary tattoos, etc., so we can walk around with the smilies of the past and bask in all their K-ville pixelated glory. Long live the smileys ! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ---

I went through and renamed some of the conflicting smilies. Typing `;)` from now in will use the newer ๐Ÿ˜‰ version. The old one is now under `:winkold:`, :winkold: ---

Can you do it here too? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/kirupa/original/2X/e/e1c897eebe1451c3d6e9dae6bf09e2d75d4d97ec.png) ---

Didnโ€™t even know that button existed! This will take a bit of time, for the earlier solution I used was to simply remove the explicit value for the smiley width. The aspect ratio was preserved since the height was set to 20px. That doesnโ€™t work here. ---

Absolutely, @tbo! Please ensure they are 72x72 in size. Thatโ€™s the size the current smileys used on the forums are ๐Ÿ™‚
