I accidentally Closed a feature request while logged out.

Closing the request was intentional but should I have been able to it without having been logged in? (User didn't provide necessary specific examples needed to diagnose the problem.)

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604309&aid=1341926... Changed to Closed status by: nobody

Is this intentional? Are all users supposed to be allowed to Open and Close any bug reports or feature request they want?

Nope. Doublecheck that this is indeed going on, and report it to SourceForge. I don't think we have any control over this from our end.

I'll pick another bug and do it agiain but I posted the link to show that the "changed to closed status by nobody" was there for all to see.

Tried again but couldn't replicate it. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1558021&gr...

It seems like it may just be a bug probably because my login timed out but the system carried out the request anyway without authentication. Looks like a potential security problem.

I will report the glitch to sourceforge in just a minute.
