Discourse is previewing new fullscreen signup and login pages designed to offer a more focused, visually improved experience—especially on mobile devices. These updates are already live on Meta’s own pages and will roll out to all sites in a few weeks. Admins can preview the changes by enabling the full page login setting under Site Settings. The redesign currently focuses on layout and user flow, not new functionality; for example, textareas are not yet supported in user fields awesomerobot. Community feedback is encouraged: Moin suggested a “back” button for easier navigation after accidental login triggers, to which lindsey responded that browser back is the current solution, but the team will consider improvements if needed. Don praised the update and noted a known Android keyboard issue, already addressed via a GitHub PR. Screenshots illustrate the new desktop and mobile layouts, highlighting cleaner, immersive forms.
We’ve been working on updated fullscreen signup and login pages, which will provide members with a more focused experience as they seek to join and interact with your community. We’re especially excited about the experience on small screens, where the improved visual design really stands out. You may have noticed these changes already on Meta’s own signup and login pages.
Initial testing with our user testing community has gone well, so we intend to switch over all signup and login pages to the new fullscreen experience in a few weeks. Before we do, we want to give the community at large an opportunity to preview these changes and share feedback.
To turn on fullscreen signup and login pages, please go to the Admin area, go to All Site Settings, search for full page login, and enable this setting.
Are there any plans to add a “back” button? When you, for example, accidentally click the at a post and the full screen login opens, it would be nice to have an easy path back to the topic you were reading.
Good feedback — for now, users will need to rely on their browser’s back button to navigate back where they came from. But we’ll keep this in mind for a future improvement if it seems like that’s not working well for folks.
One little thing I’ve added to my site login/signup page. When keyboard open on android then you can’t scroll all the way down on form because the keyboard covering it.
