How it should be:    You click the Join banner button button. You get a confirmation Are you sure you want to join this community? Upon clicking Create Account, your account gets created, and you get redirected to the page you were on   All of the above are working, except for the bold line, i.e. I'm being redirected to the site's front page.  Example:     EDIT: In regard to , this question is different.  That one seems to be about the join this community button in the black SE bar, however, mine is about the Join button in the community banner.  Also, as an additional note, the black join this community button . (ie. It redirects correctly)  EDIT 2: Turns out it's pretty much the same problem, just a different way to get there.  I make  showing that problem.  NOTE:  This happens on every SE site - I've noticed it quite a few times.    NOTE2: I'm using FF 44.0 at the moment.

On a Stack Exchange site, if you are viewing a question, and click Log In to take some action on that question, and you log in with valid Stack Exchange credentials (but there's a step that creates an account on that particular site), you are not redirected back to the page on which you clicked the Log In button, that motivated the account creation in the first place.  Instead, it goes to a list of questions on that site, causing the user to lose easy access to what it is they wanted to do.  Even the browser Back button doesn't get the user there for at least a few clicks, going through Document Expired and login pages again.  Here's an example:

If you don’t have an account for some site, you can still see a list of your communities via top bar menu of this site, e.g. on 3D Printing:        But this works only for full web, in mobile web «sign up or log in» is shown:        When you have an account then the list of your communities is shown even for mobile web:

I just renewed my antivirus (Kaspersky's) yesterday. After that, I logged onto Chemistry.SE (which I frequent often) but then I was greeted with this  Which was definitely not how it looked like earlier that morning. I wasn't able to  Open the reputation and badges tab Vote on questions, answers and comments (even answers to MY questions) Comment on questions or answers. 'Favorite' a question Attach tags to a question Post questions  etc., etc. But when I logged on to the Physics and Biology SEs (which I also frequent), the page format hadn't changed, but I still faced the same problems as above. Does anyone know how to fix this? P.S- I'm not a computer/formatting whiz, so you'd have to try avoiding the jargon when helping me out, sorry.... (Also I use Chrome...in case that's important.) Also @Oded recommended checking out the browser developer tools and having a look at the CSS, but as I said, I'm no Software/formatting whiz...so I'm still lost....  On @Shadow Wizard 's advice I've taken a screen shot of the 'error' notification (I had to scroll down to get all 10 'errors' on screen, hence the need for separate screen-shots)

I know that in the Winter release the "Log in to Community as User" button was added to Lightning. I did look at other pre-existing topics for this subject and none of those answers resolved the issue for me.  I am a System Admin and I have access to the button when viewing a Contact.  Our core users do not, however (but they do in Classic, so I know they have permissions).  Things I checked based on other topics:   They have "Manage External Users" permissions. They have Read/Edit on Accounts. Their Role is in the same Sharing Groups that my role is in. The buttons are being displayed on all of our page layouts for the Contact object.

I don't remember seeing these buttons before... I'm pretty sure the "Users" page used to look like the other tabs with the options being in a row with red underlines to highlight which tab is active on the page.  Now there are buttons but for some reason, the "reputation", "new users", and "moderators" all hover highlight in dark blue, making the text difficult to read while "voters" and "editors" don't.    I'm guessing this is a fragment of the responsive design, as it does resemble the user pages on Stack Overflow. It's worth noting that this seems to have been rolled out to every site that I've checked, not only Meta Stack Exchange but the odd hover color only appears here (as far as I can tell).    So, I did some more poking around this morning and I realized that the reason that "reputation", "new users" and "moderators" have a different hover highlighting is because they're visited. Not quite sure how I missed this but it might help in determining how to fix it.  This is global across all sites with the buttons. Here's the page on M&amp;TV:    As you can see, I've tested this by clicking on the "editors" and "moderators" tabs, which have dark circles around them after being "visited" but the other three do not because I haven't clicked on them. "Editors" is darker grey because it's the tab that's currently active.

As a new user, I find it impossible to contribute to the community or to even begin contributing. I know why the reputation system is in place and I respect it, but at the same time it is too hard on new users.  It started with me wanting to upvote a question...     "Vote Up requires 15 reputation"   Just to appreciate a good question that helped me I need 15 rep? OK..., so I find out how I can get reputation points. More or less, I need to ask a question for +5 and add an answer for +10. I don't have any questions at the moment and I don't want to spam a random question, but I did happen to have a slightly different answer to the earlier question that I wanted to upvote. So I try to answer...     This question is protected to prevent "thanks!", "me too!", or spam answers by new users. To answer it, you must have earned at least 10 reputation on this site.   Now... I know this doesn't apply to every question, but at the same time, this means I'm forced to answer yet another question, and I don't want to go around looking for random questions and spam irrelevant answers...  Now I'm stuck. So I try to talk to some other users in the chat rooms about how to go about getting reputation points and how they first started. I entered into a "casual chat room".     You must have 20 reputation on Meta Stack Overflow to talk here.   Yes... I can understand why this is enforced, because we don't want new users to spam chat rooms, but all I wanted to do was ask for help. So I can't even talk to anyone about my newbie problems. So okay, I'll just settle for upvoting comments in the question that helped me. I don't see an upvote hover-over button so I can't even do that.    So now I'm stuck at 1 reputation point, unable to cross that 15 rep barrier, and even after posting this question I'll only have 6 rep points and still unable to do anything, and I'll be forced to look for questions to answer. Yes, I should be contributing to the community, but I shouldn't need to begin answering or making questions to upvote questions and answers. This only spurs more spam/irrelevant answers if anything.   Very, very, very new-user unfriendly.

Earlier today I saw the New Contributor indicator attached to a user who had 2,700 reputation and had been a member of the site for over 2 years. When I went to leave a comment, I saw a banner of “(User) is a new contributor. Be nice, and check out our Code of Conduct.” above the comment.  This was very confusing until I realised what was going on: this occurred on our per-site meta, and this was the first day the user had contributed to our site's meta.  Could the indicator &amp; banner be updated on meta sites to make it clear it's not just being buggy?   Update the “New Contributor” indicator to say “New Contributor to Meta” or “New Meta Contributor” Update the comment/answer banner to say “(User) is a new contributor to this meta. Be nice, and check our Code of Conduct.”   (Text bolded just for the sake of this feature request; don't have it bolded in the released version.)

When you click the add a comment button when you don't have enough rep, you get a pop-up saying that you need more rep in able to comment. Except, it is too far away and users might be confused for a while before realizing the pop-up is on the other side of the page:     Clearly, that is very inconvenient for a lot of people, like me. Can we move the pop-up to be right next to the add a comment button?

All the launched sites get Community Promotion Ads meta posts posted every year by a SE mod.  Previously, I thought that beta sites simply weren't allowed them. However,  is still in beta, and they had community promotions meta posts in  and  (I guess they haven't made one for 2015 yet).  So what happens? Do you just have to ask for one? Can the moderators of that site just create one as they like? Can anyone on that site just create one as they like?

There have been  for a while, but this is ridiculous. It reminds me of , but this time it's network-wide.   The banner must be scrolled past (or dismissed) on every page unless both first-party JavaScript and first-party cookies are enabled. If first-party JavaScript is enabled, and the banner is visible, the rest of the page jumps up and down every so often.  Under certain circumstances (not quite sure what they are, yet – a direct link to an answer, maybe? I'm seeing it ) the entire page jumps up and down a line every few seconds even when the banner is off-screen.   The cookie banner keeps coming back unless both third-party JavaScript  are enabled (and  is solved). The cookie box occludes the “Learn more about Teams” link in the banner (with default Firefox window sizes) and the Job / Teams link in the sidebar.  As it stands,  – a site for hobbyists and researchers, whose audience is not very likely to purchase Teams – is much, much harder to use, for no benefit that I can see. Can you roll back this change, please?

Many times I've tried to find a community to ask a question in, but it's somewhat difficult to wade through the page of 'squarish' buttons for the community entry points. Is there some place or some way to get a text list of them (to make it easier to search)? Or am I missing it somewhere?

I have added a Lightning component to a VF page and the lightning component is displaying fine when I access the VF page. But If I set this VF page as the community home page and try to access this without any authentication then the page fails to load the Lightning component. If I were to access the community with authentication then it works fine.   Any ideas on how to get this working?  Lightning component:  &lt;aura:component implements="forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes" access="GLOBAL" &gt;     This is a component &lt;/aura:component&gt;   Lightning App:  &lt;aura:application extends="ltng:outApp" access="GLOBAL" implements="forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes"&gt;     &lt;aura:dependency resource="c:communityComponent"/&gt; &lt;/aura:application&gt;   VF Page:  &lt;apex:page &gt;     &lt;apex:includeLightning /&gt;    &lt;div id="lightning"/&gt;   &lt;script &gt;       //inject the lightning component.       $Lightning.use("c:communityApp", function() {           $Lightning.createComponent("c:communityComponent",{},"lightning", function(cmp) {               console.log('inside the component',cmp);           });         });   &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/apex:page&gt;   Error in the browser console:

Are there any pages/dashboards showing cross-site statistics indicating new enrollments, how many users become active on multiple sites, perhaps broken down to show the first website that new users joined?  For example, I first joined  and then got hooked to the QA format and joined several other SE sites.

I've been working on a login flow where we are allowing users to sign up or login with Facebook. The devs in my team told me that we need to keep the Facebook button with the colors :  However, we also have Linkedin and Google... So you can imagine how this looks like a rainbow. Do you know if we can just remove those colors and using button with a white background instead? Do you have any official sources about this? For example, I know that Canva is doing that way :  Thank you guys ! :)

When I view the , my user account is right up top. However, I noticed that when I change the drop-down to select any other SE site, my account disappears from the list. Here's a screenshot:  I think this seems a little odd. Is anyone else seeing their own account under SO top users?

On every use profile page the search bar on the top of the page already contains user:&lt;id&gt; text to simplify search for post of the currently visible user. But this doesn’t work correctly for the  user:        Instead of searching for posts owned by Community user I’ve got Jeff Atwood posts:        In this case minus sign was just ignored and instead of (-1, i.e. Community user), the (+1, i.e. Jeff Atwood) is used. Same happened for any other negative id for the “user:” option in the search box.

Recently I've noticed more and more sign-in / sign-up workflows defaulting to the sign-up option first and providing a minimal "Sign-In / Login" action somewhere else on the page. What's the reason behind this practice?  Examples where I've seen this recently:
