streamline sign in cue text and interface
Idea
+issues
For http://wagn.org/account/login :
Email [with box to right rather than below]
Password [ditto]
|Sign in|
Forgot your password?
Email [box to right rather than below]
|Email me a new password|
If you don't have an account and would like one, Sign up. [if Anyone can create Account Requests / accounts]
Also suggest that instead of what shows up when you try to edit a card that requires being signed in...:
Ooo. Sorry, but...
You have to sign in to edit maintain form information on new card errors
(See the options tab to learn more.)
...offer this:
Ooo. Sorry, but...
You have to sign in to edit maintain form information on new card errors (go back to that card):
[sign in / forgotten password / sign up interface, as above]
Similarly, when trying to create a card via link to card that doesn't yet exist suggest replacing...:
Missing Card
<!--[if !IE]--><!--[endif]-->
There's no card named making a link.
Sign In or Sign Up to create it.
...with:
Missing Card
<!--[if !IE]--><!--[endif]-->
There's no card named making a link.
[sign in etc. interface, as above]
And when going to /card/new (when Anyone has no creation permissions) replace...:
Ooo. Sorry, but...
You have to sign in to create cards
...with:
Ooo. Sorry, but...
You have to sign in to create cards
[sign in etc. interface]

I know there was some good editing of the cue text, but it didn't address what was described in +issue here. I took the opportunity now to update the existing example and flesh out the other places i could think of where the proposed change would make sense.
Some nice examples/exploration for whenever we're changing things anyway: http://blog.leahculver.com/2009/11/log-in-or-sign-up.html
