[Cms-moe-list] login and registration

[Helen Lindley-French]

Very good points, Chris.

I found the alert box on each page to be irritating, which would therefore 
deter me from registering.  Perhaps we could just limit guests to seeing 
two or three examples of each page, then reminding them that they need to 
register to get the full selection and details (by the "register now" 
button)?

Bob, I'm not sure of the level of feedback required. However, from the
hip, without much time ...

* The initial guest screen and the alert boxes are not very
encouraging for the speculative guest user. I would only remind them
of their guest status once they've got into a particular area.

* Once using the site as a guest, I find the bottom-left MO logo takes
me to registration (good, that's what I might want to do, though I had
to guess). However, once I'm on the registration page (not same style
as rest of MO site) there is no way to get out of the registration
page (without registering).

* Prehaps the guest status could be conveyed by a "register now"
button (bottom right?) throughout the site.

* Of those areas live only one says what the planned content is.

	Chris
