Bug 358514

1. Two pages link to https://userbase.kde.org/Special:UserLogin/signup which confuses new users who are trying to figure out how to register. The messages need to be changed. Instead they should link to https://userbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Special:OpenIDLogin

2. It is impossible to quickly find how to register. Please solve this by editing the skin so that in "PERSONAL TOOLS" instead of "OpenID / Identity login" it says "Register" because it seems an openid/kdeid/whatever login results in the requirement to create a username which is what "registration" is to people. OpenID and "identity" is unknown and makes people think they have to look elsewhere. If you rename it into "Register", then people will quicker realize that they have to read the wall of text below the openid form (by the way, you might want to make the kde identity login the one that is pre-selected and on the left).

Ideally also remove the openid icon. it's confusing. people who like openid will cheer when they go to registration but people who just want to register and have no clue about openid are confused by the icon.

3. If you're at it, you could remove the layout-distrubing language icon and padding from the "English" (language) link. See http://i.imgur.com/3qGbNOP.png for how it could be...

Reproducible: Always
