OK, it comes close. But sometimes I want to say the first and not necessarily the second. So I still want an icon for :ITA:

Just sayin'

Another thought just occurred to me, as I was thinking it would also be nice to have a :ttia: icon.

At one point in the past, there was a (bandwidth stealing) icon that let a user personalize what the sign displayed. I dunno, is something like that now possible within this bb software?

Yes, it is available, but as you said, it generates a lot of extra bandwidth. I don't think the AO needs to get into the image hosting business, just yet.

I am open to any emoticon suggestions for ttia and ita.

My my, someone needs to get out a bit more

There are better things to to, Fuad, than spend all of your time lurking in the Suggestion section. Try the Reef; you may find it more your taste
