Thanks Joshua,
Yes, I tried that before and have to say it works to an extent. Especially, when you have the content on the site locked from public. I even used the messaging options there (I think welcome message) to prompt people to sign up.
Would be nice to have an embeddable form though. Or better yet (and assuming - easy) a direct sign up link. Although, I have a feeling I’m asking a little too much. Wonder what the community thinks.
Thanks
