Ah, I see what you meant. Yes, if I'm not logged in, I can see the same message if I hover over the "Create ticket" link.
I always thought SF only allowed logged-in users to create tickets. But digging into this further, I found the setting that controls this. Either I didn't know about this setting, or (more likely) SF added this feature later. The SF admin interface is not very user friendly, but I was able to navigate into the SF project settings to set up the FreeDOS bug tracker so anonymous users can create new tickets. And tested successfully by creating a new ticket while I was logged out: https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/316/ (I'll close that "test" ticket now.)
