Afternoon,

In an attempt to get more people to sign up to AB, we're going to try out a prompt for users who aren't signed in or signed up.

Non-members, and those not logged in will be displayed a prompt to sign in - this should happen on:

1. The second page they visit
2. Only once in 24hours or in a session (i.e. if you clear your cache you'll see it again)

You should be able to click away, or close it, if you don't want to log in (but if you do, you can login from the prompt).

Let me know if you run into any problems with it.

We hope to go live with it this evening. More info to come.

"So Ed, is this new thing working? Are there more window-lickers now, and are they actually registering?"

Don't know yet. It's a soft launch as the most "non-logged-in-traffic" turns up over the weekend. I'll have a look now for you however.

We've doubled the number of visitors to the registration page, which has to be a good start....

So how did it go - it is worth it? is the new feature staying?
still irritatingly useless for me.
