Small But Significant User Experience Improvement

Post by Fast3000 » Wed Nov 12, 2014 8:06 pm

Hi,

Appreciate many forums are built on ready made templates with some tweaks allowed for by the "Admin / forum page coders" but is there a way of getting the login entry at the top of the page - my vast user experience knowledge tells me [/arogance] that this is better as you don't need to scroll all the way to the bottom to login or worse still go to another page to login which the link in the top right...

Your thoughts please... :thumbsup:

Login box is at the top on mine.

Check the 'log me in automatically' box?

Don't understand the login issue - login is top right? :? My laptop logs me on automatically when I visit the site. . .

So even your user name / Password entry box is at the top? In the Red bar I see - 'Login' this link then takes me to another page, where I enter my credemtials wait a few seconds then I login. Ive set my browser to remember details but i need to do this if I come out of the browser or dont use the site for an hr. :?

You are correct, the current UI flow involves clicking Login and then it redirects to the login page.

If you're using Netscape Navigator 1 you can upgrade to AOL Netscape Navigator 9 (But it won't solve your problem-sorry). :D

Not sure about all this, but the lack of staying logged-in is definitely browser related.
