            [XWIKI-14881] Too hard to find the login/register links in Flamingo

            You're right, I used the wrong Jira. I thought I had the reference number memorized by this point but it was the wrong one...

            Solved by XWIKI-16216 .
            The changes merged in the context of XWIKI-16216 moved those links back in the top right navbar (out of the drawer where they were difficult to find for new users).

            Lucas C I don't understand the relationship with XWIKI-16216

            For me it's solved by the jira issue that moved the login and register buttons outside of the drawer -> XWIKI-22121

            Also you said "the changes merged" (past tense) but XWIKI-16216 is still open.

            Could it be that you've used the wrong jira?

            Thx

            With a quick look, it seems like this is very close to proposition 5 shown in the attachments to this ticket.

            So reading the discussion on the thread, the main problem was about using an icon instead of the word "Log in", however I'm not sure it's a good idea unless we manage to all agree on an explicit logo. Most services don't use a logo for such feature but "Sign in" or "Log in": JIRA, disqus, github, ...

            EDIT: sorry for not posting on the thread but I'd need to retrieve it first which is not that easy apparently. If anyone knows how to do it, feel free to contact me

            Proposition4 is not obvious.
