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.)

Sign up for a new account.

 

...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

Sign up for a new account.

 

...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
