I received some very valid feedback today from a user. I’m not sure if there’s already a good way of dealing with this issue or not. If not, I’d say it’s something worth thinking about how to improve.
But after all visible fields were completed, it wasn’t immediately clear that the user would have to scroll down to find the final required field/checkbox:
Sure, there’s some slight fading of the content, but that’s not very obvious for most people.
I’m not sure what the best approach would be to improve this—perhaps a visual hint that scrolling is needed? Or simply expanding the signup modal so all fields are visible?
And is there something I can do immediately that would improve the signup flow for my users?
You can make a minor CSS adjustment to allow the modal to get taller on desktop devices, this should do it:
.d-modal.create-account .login-form form {
max-height: 70vh
}
At the moment our default max-height is more restrictive, I can probably allow it to get a little taller by default… but there’s always going to be a point where the scroll cut-off isn’t obvious for someone with X number custom fields added. I really hate that macOS does this hidden scrollbar behavior.
Thanks @awesomerobot, I’ll give that a try! (I assume you meant max-height: 70vh; which seems to work perfectly!)
And I do appreciate that this primarily an issue on MacOS, @codinghorror. However, 1/3 of my desktop users are on MacOS, so it’s not an insignificant part of my audience.
