Our UI differs from Facebook in that we don't the real-estate present to display this long of an error message. Can you propose a shorter message that gets this point across or can we agree the message we have will suffice for now?
Then shorten my change to: "The email you entered belongs to an existing account." I think they can figure out what to do from there.
Wow hit close and comment and it didn't do what I expected at all.
Implemented.
Go to sign up dialog Enter email and other information - use an email address associated with an existing user
Error message is: "That email is already taken. Forget your password?" Change error to: "Sorry, it looks like devinpmckinney@gmail.com belongs to an existing account. Use a different email, or click Sign In below to sign in."
Facebook adds a step, with a sentence "Would you like to claim this email address?" with "this email address" being a link to an identify verification process. We could leave it as is or go the extra step like Facebook. I recommend leave it as is with the correction I made above.
