> [@Jacob\_Peebles](#): > > There is no call to action to join, sign up, post a topic, join the community. On mobile devices, instead of displaying both the Sign up and Log in buttons, only the Log in button is displayed. Clicking the Log in button opens a modal window that allows users to create a new account, but that might not be obvious to new users, especially if they aren’t familiar with Discourse forums. So arguably there’s a call to action, but it’s only a call to action for existing users. The easiest possible fix would be to change the text for the Log in button to “Sign in / Sign up”. The issue is that there’s not a lot of room to play with. This is a quickly made version done with my browser’s dev tools. It would require some adjustments: ![mock up of sign in / sign up button on mobile](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/2/4/d24c188340e2b898e47bb943a433fc60f096c239.png) Edit: a better but more difficult to implement approach would be to do something similar to what Twitter/X does. On mobile devices, the full Log in and Sign up buttons are displayed in a sticky footer. It’s possible there’s an existing Discourse theme component for this. If not, I suspect it’s something that could be done. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/call-to-action-encourage-new-users-to-participate/341042)._
