This list is brilliant! Although I have only done this challenge and the same one a year ago, I can really see and appreciate the value of a post that gathers a writer's bits in one place.

The total number of characters in your signature (including the BBcode bits) needs to be under 150 or the links don't work. 
It'll let you write up to 200 total I think, but you'll get the text error. 
Basically keep everything super super short.
