Default Auto lower-case letters?

For some reason the board is changing some upper-case letters to lower-case automatically. This has never been a problem for me until today.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

CJSF (should be all caps)

OK, great - so now it seems to be working for this thread, but not this one.

I experienced it recently as well. This had been removed from a previous version of the site software, but seems to have recently sneaked back in.

Didn't Fraser say recently that he wanted to update the board software soon to address the "unable to see thread" problem? Maybe he did?

Well, the weird thing is that it doesn't seem to be doing it. It did it in one post that I made, and seemed to "try" to do it in two others, but they turned out OK upon submission.

It definitely does it in thread titles. I didn't think it did it in actual posts. DOES IT?

As I said - it doesn't seem to be doing it any more. Oh well...

I dropped Fraser an email about weirdness with apostrophes in some articles (not posts) that was not consistent. Anybody else see this?

The title in this started out ALL CAPS.

You're right, it is fun to shout.
