User services

Lots of users getting confused, new accounts for each post, it’s a mess. Hypo needs to help them out more - anything to make their lives easier.

Ideas:
  • Password reminder facility, sends to registered email address. This is the key to stopping the multiplying of accounts.
  • More help. The welcome screen is OK (I wonder if anyone has actually looked at it…), maybe it needs renaming to “HELP!!!”. Maybe a help screen that is shown to users after they signup. Jeez it’s a long time since I thought about the signup page. Anyways, there should be a help page always available.
  • Comments. Every page should have a link to allow users to comment on that page (or just generally). Ideally it should gather as much info about the user’s setup as possible. E.g. name, email, browser + platform, page they were at, logged in or not.

Also the log entry editing page for this log needs to remember which mood I was in when I posted a message.
