Login/# text should be consistent

[misaugstad]

At the top of the landing page, the button is called "Login", but pops up a window with the title "#". I'm sure that (essentially) everyone understands that these are synonymous, but they should still be consistent.

Is there a reason/preference for choosing one over the other?

Since the URL is #SignIn and the modal text says "Have an account? #!", I'm leaning towards making it #. Should the button be "#" for consistency with the adjacent button's capitals or "#" for consistency with the modal? Should any of these other texts be changed to match these changes?

I would go with # and modify other places to be consistent.

Do other websites say '#' or '#'? I like the lower case 'i' to be honest. More legible. Jon

To add some context to what @sbower213 was saying:

# Modal

To investigate this a bit, I just looked at some websites like Pinterest and Etsy.com that likely have non-technical users. It seems like "#" (lower case 'in' is most common).

Here are the results of my brief investigation (case sensitive).

• Redfin: #
• Etsy: #
• Zillow: #
• Ebay: #
• Pinterest: Log in
