How come it wont let me put smilies in my signature?

I learned how to write from a friend of mine. Sometimes I think the student has surpassed the teacher :darklol:

Your not allowed to smilies in your signature, I think that is the only reason.

For the same reason our profile pictures don't appear in every post we make.  Graphics use more bandwidth than text.  Passions averages over 50,000 visits a day, and over 200,000 individual page views... Those are just the readers (using bandwidth)... Yesterday's posts here in the forums totaled nearly 1200.  If every one of those posts included smilies & graphics, not only would it slow down our pace, it would also cost significantly more for the bandwidth we use... Ergo - no smilies in our signatures... But we can use them inside our posts...
