[edit] text box?

The first instruction is currently "Please enter your desired username in the text box above." I may be slow, but where is this text box? I don't see anything "above" that instruction besides

INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE FOLLOW THESE EXACTLY!

which is amusing, but not particularly helpful since I can't figure out a way one would "EXACTLY!" enter something into a nonexistent box. - BanyanTree 03:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

First off, {{sofixit}}? Secondly, there has been a problem with malformed requests, such as no e-mail or "USERNAME" given as the username, so I added some "emphasis" (you might say)r to see if it helps. John Reaves (talk) 08:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
The 'text box above' refers to the field where you type in the section heading when in &section=new mode. Tra (Talk) 12:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Ha! I don't even know how long I spent staring at the page looking for some kind of box. I think I had typed the address in after mousing over the link rather than directly clicking from Wikipedia:Request an account, so never saw the subject line box. Rereading, my first post sounds a bit more frustrated than I had intended. Sorry about that. Cheers, BanyanTree 20:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
