login popup

[Aerilius]

In addition to the normal login field there is a javascript popup that appears to be redundant. What is its use?

• browsers do not fill in the username/password so I would have to type it every time. The original static login field remembers the password data.
• I have to click it away
• unusable on mobile because it jumps offscreen when I try to scroll, zoom or give keyboard focus

I use a bookmark (favorite) link directly to:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/ucp.php?mode=login

No popup.

The goal of this "login popup" is to inform new visitors about the membership options and to make it obvious for them that they should register as a member to be able to use all the features of SketchUcation.

It was set in a way that it popped up only for not logged in visitors hourly. So if some not logged in user visited the site again after an hour he/she got the popup again until he registered/logged in.

I do understand that this could be annoying to frequent user members who do use direct-links to access the site. Therefore now I changed the repetition time from an hour to 1 week. So if you do not erase your cookies now you won't see again this popup for a week.

I'll also check what can I do to get rid of this box in case of mobile devices.
