PROBLEM: How do new people sign up to forum?

[Josh_Ketry]

The feedback I am getting is that you can sign in but not sign up to the forum? @DannyM @gino @saki007ster any ideas? Or is it hidden?

The account im using right now is a new user sign up account. New users must be approved by an admin. They should receive an email (mine was in my spam folder). You can see the logs of system sent emails here: https://forum.swarmacademy.ai/admin/email-logs

I signed up yesterday only, for me signup flow worked well. Apart from certificate issue, I don’t see anything else to fix here.

Muhammad says he doesn’t see a button for new sign up. Only sign in. Could this be a mobile issue?

[gino]

I just confirmed that the sign up button is not visible in mobile, however just like many other account login pages, you can go to the login page and find a “dont have an account yet? sign up” link. Swarm Academy

the cert issue has been solved already, I fixed that right after our call yesterday.

this has been fixed now, sign up button will show on mobile.

I’ve also gone ahead and updated the default theme
