Hi, when NOT logged in and visiting a topic the login button is 'floating' on a fixed position in the screen?
clicking it leads to a 404 > https://[domainname]/&tmpl=component

found the following 'code'
Code:
<p> Please <a class="modal" href="/ll_test/&tmpl=component"> Log in</a> to join the conversation. </p>
the class 'modal' is specified in my templates bootstrap.css
changing the class or even emitting it solves the issue of the floating button.

It doesn't solve the faulty url resulting in 404 :(

Float is joomla template issue.

Okay, just to add to the functional discussion:

General observation: a lot of templates use their own (modal popup) login functionality (like meetgavern on my site). A lot of sites have extended the joomla login with a social media account login. I use EasyProfile for this. and then there is also the redirect function of the login module: with easyprofile it is e.g. possible to redirect a user after login to a specific place if eg some mandatory fields are not filled.

For that reason I think it is wise to implement the following functionality.

There are 3 scenarios:
1. not logged in (guest) and guest reply enabled on forum
2. not logged in (guest) and no guest reply enabled on forum
3. logged in

case 1. display message like "you are not logged in, your reply will be placed as guest"
case 2. display message like "you are not allowed to reply, please login first"
case 3. display no message

I have this currently implemented on my websites for the kunena discuss plugin where I ran into the challenge of users not logging in and placing a reply under their name as a guest (and they they would contact me asking where their avatar etc. is...).
The displayed message is working perfect (got feedback from several users). There is no login button (as this doesn't work / redirects to the wrong page and social media login not working which is currently the most used way to create an account (just press facebook and an account will be created / you will be logged in)).

So my suggestion would be to make it more simple: no login button, just text :)
