Edited because I'm still putzing learning to bold text on AW message boards

I give--don't know why it's not bold text

For the bold to work on this board the text has to wrap. Otherwise you have to use the [ b] at the beginning of each line and [ /b]at the end of each line.
Just to help clarify, the main reason a user would have to sign in to close their account is that it is password protected. This prevents someone closing your account that is not authorized.
