I have a form that will allow a user to post a classified listing on my site. The thing is, we required users to be signed in to post...so instead of redirecting a user to a separate page to sign in or register, I would like to include the sign in / register fields WITHIN my posting form, and save them a step or two.
- how do you feel about that idea?
- where in the form is the right place to put the sign in / register fields? a complete list of the fields on that page are as follows:
display name [if registering]
email
password
title
description
price
upload images

I think its a great idea and having first (like you wrote) is the best way. You don't want a user being surprised after they filled out the form that they must sign up and then decide if they want to sign up.
Alternatively, I would recommend trying to implement OpendID, facebookID, and TwitterID log in systems. You're registrations will go up and for your type of website it makes more sense. Users tire of making accounts for a site they use sparingly.
