but it looks like this when scrolled down in a topic, which is where we want most people to be most of the time, right?
This is a problem, since there’s no visible Sign In to Reply most of the time, as we (very intentionally) want people to reach the bottom and read the whole conversation before replying.
I suggest we drop some of the glyphs here, which are de-facto sign in buttons for anons anyway…
And switch to this button + 2 glyphs layout:
across all anonymous pages. Hopefully this button + 2 glyphs layout will be about the same amount of space as 4 glyphs so it won’t break layout.
I wouldn’t remove the default user (rightmost) icon, tho. Nothing says hey, you’re not logged in! then a blank, grayish people-thing. Personally, I’d even say that I notice and recognize the icon long before my eyes have parsed the words on the Sign In button.
Except for a still-present “Sign in” button The majority of all websites & apps today are nice enough to remove the “Register/Sign in” button once I’m indeed signed in, because it’s a completely useless button at that point.
I’d say it’s quite universally understood that if “Sign in” is present, you are not signed in.
