Bug : Not handling case of unregistered user logging in and Improvement of footer UI for smaller screens

[laxmanp090404]

This issue encompasses two main concerns:

1. Bug: Improper handling of login attempts by unregistered users.
2. Improvement: Footer UI enhancement for better responsiveness on smaller screens.

1. Bug: Unregistered User Login Handling

• Current Behavior: When an unregistered user attempts to log in, the system shows the message "Invalid username," which can be misleading.
• Expected Behavior:
  • The message should clearly state "User not registered."
  • After displaying the message, the user should be redirected to the signup page to create an account.
• Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Try logging in with a username that does not exist in the database.
  2. Observe the error message.
• Fix: Update the error message to reflect the correct reason for the failure and implement redirection to the signup page.

2. Improvement: Footer UI for Smaller Screens

• Current Issue: The footer layout is not optimized for smaller screens (e.g., mobile devices), resulting in misalignment and a cluttered appearance.
• Expected Improvement:
  • Refactor the footer to ensure a responsive layout that adapts smoothly across different screen sizes.
  • Ensure proper alignment and spacing of footer elements for a cleaner and more consistent user experience on mobile devices.
• Screenshots:

By addressing these issues, we aim to improve the user experience both in terms of functional clarity (handling unregistered users) and visual responsiveness (footer layout on smaller screens).

@laxmanp090404 For unregistered users, the message "Invalid email or password" is appropriate and doesn’t need to be changed. However, you can go ahead and focus on improving the responsiveness of the footer.
