Have you considered putting your table onto Googledocs, as a document everyone with the link can read? You can then just put the Googledocs link in your sig (MSE permission assumed - if not allowed, just post the link in the body of your post)
A Googledoc is probably also a great deal easier to edit than a forum post.

The other option is that you keep updating your post on p671. You can bookmark the post (and so can everyone else). Then all you have to do is post a quick "P671 updated", with the direct link in your sig. The direct link to your post on p671 is

Just logged in to my paragon account:

Easy Access Issue 3: 1.60% to 1.85%
Triple Access ISA Issue 8: 1.55% to 1.85%.

Very happy with the latter in particular. 

Ditto re the ISA :-) I know this is an (the?) EA thread but people may be interested to know that the Paragon Triple Access ISA Issue 8 was Top Of The Cash ISA Pots at 1.55% so it's quite some move on their part. For information only, not discussion obviously as this is EA.

Principality's Online Double Access Issue 2 account is now paying 1.65% variable for balances of £1-£1,000,000.

I've currently got a Coventry BS Limited Access Saver which allows 6 penalty-free withdrawals a year and is currently paying 1.5%. On 1 September that's due to increase to 1.85%. It will then be one of my best interest paying accounts, however I'm not sure if it's still available to new takers.

It is no longer available, and I don't see how it's helpful to publicise accounts that are no longer available. 

Helpful to people who do have the account perhaps - including those in the habit of keeping a pound in old accounts "just in case" but not watching them too closely? I understand that account is unavailable to new customers, not unavailable to existing customers.

Aldermore Double Access Account
Up to 1.70% AER showing on web site

Excellent news! I had dinner with an old friend last week who now works there. Told her they had until 31/8 to up their rate on the DA from the miserly 1.4% as that was when my 120 Day Notice (1.54%, possibly more now) closes and moves into the DA and would be moving onward rather rapidly otherwise. Job done!

(For the record she has no involvement in the setting of interest rates).

Was about to say the same as Rollinghome. I have a Coventry Four Access which has also increased to 1.85%, also not available to new subscribers. But given recent discussions on merits of leaving minimal amounts in old accounts this is a good example of why some people do that. And helpful to know what is happening elsewhere regardless as it is a useful indicator of trends.

Some of us have viewing signatures turned off in the forum settings. I get tired of reading the same text over and over again and it's a much quicker scroll through threads.
So I turn sigs off. So we wouldn't see links in sigs, even if they were permitted (which is unlikely),
It would be better t to ask the mods if you can make an editable sticky post at the start of this thread, you can then link to that if you want to refer to it when it updates  and it's easy to find.

Didn't know sigs can be turned off, so thanks for the heads up! I shall quickly follow your example.....

I'm talking about the option of  turning off seeing other posters sigs. Too many are several sentences .NOT necessarily turning off one's own.
I'd  forgotten I ever had one because I don't see my own as well.
