combine registration and login forms #29

Open FND opened 11 years ago

FND commented 11 years ago

the front page currently looks like this:

Welcome to BFW.                            [ username              ]
                                           [ password              ]
                                           [ password confirmation ]
                                           <Register>

                                           [ username              ]
                                           [ password              ]
                                           <Log in>

it might be nice to combine these prompts into a single form:

Welcome to BFW.                            [ username              ]
                                           [ password              ]
                                           [ password confirmation ]
                                           <Register>       <Log in>

not sure yet how to convey to users that the confirmation is only necessary for registrations though - or perhaps it's not necessary at all?

This is a good idea. When you switch to login you could hide the password confirmation field.

Keep an eye on http://frontpage-ux.tiddlyspace.com/ as there will no doubt be some overlap.

Some input from @patrickmooney would be great here though.

I'd considered that, using tabs - but would rather spare existing users that extra click to switch from register to login, thus both buttons are present on a single form here. (This probably isn't possible without JavaScript btw.)

(FWIW, I'd suggested this for TiddlySpace's frontpage redesign at some point)
