Call to Action to guests
Hi, I'm proposing a modification for the default view for the guest visitors: a call to action for commenting or sign up,
we can make it as big as IPB or just a link like xenforo.
make it easier to the visitors that follow the discussions to just register/signin, no need to scroll or searching the form.

I am using xf and I might say somehow those CTA are working. XF also uses a register now big button on the left toolbar. From what I have noticed they encourage a lot of visitors to register, but most of that members are inactive. A similar behavior I noticed using social login, also on SMF and XF,they bring registered users but mostly inactive members which never post on forum.
Elkarte is a little bit different, you need to search for REGISTER menu, it's not quickly visible, but most members that are registering are interested to post on forums.
I might be wrong, but this is my impression using both softwares. On XF I have half messages compared to my Elkarte forum, but I have double registered members. It depends on what you want to achieve. I prefer to see less registered members but active, instead of a high number of registered users but inactive. IMO...
