Introducing "Inline Reg"
One common criticism of the classic start page is it takes some work to actually get started using it. When you arrive at the old start page and click to register, you end up going through three screens before you get back to the start page.
With the new myEarthLink, we wanted to speed the process up. So, last week, we launched a streamlined registration service, known affectionately among the team as "inline reg."
The basic idea of inline reg is pretty simple: Instead of going to a separate page to sign up for a new account, you can take care of everything directly from the start page. You work through this simple form, enter a security code to verify you're a human, and you're done!
In last week's release, we launched inline reg on a separate log-in screen, since we haven't yet released a version of the page that users without an account can see. We'll be launching this "signed-out" version of the page in the next few weeks.
