    Why when I post a simple 2 word post all in caps does this board automatically changed it to lower case?

    Besides being obnoxiously rude and decidedly wrong from a sports fan cheering for his team POV, it is also incorrect to start a sentence with lower case.

    Could someone fix this retarded glitch please?

    Interesting. What was your post? I'd like to try it to see if I run into the same problem.

    Go blazers!

    Edit: That is weird. I typed in "GO BLAZERS!" and it changed it to what is seen above.

    IF EVERY LETTER IN YOUR POST IS IN CAPS, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY DO THAT. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PUT OnE LETTER AS LOWERCASE TO GET AROUND IT.

    L*kers blow goats! I have proof!

    Seems asterisks don't count as lower-case. :( Oh well.

    L*KERS BLOW GOATS!

    It's a "feature" built into the vBulletin boards because of posters who SHOUT IN EVERY SINGLE POST.

    :NOTMARIS:

    Well, it's a retarded feature that is extremely annoying in a pre-school, time-out way and simply makes posting more tedious. Hard to believe it was set that way deliberately. You do realize we can't "hear" the posts, caps or no caps, don't you? :biglaugh:

    BTW, caps in a post may signify shouting to some people, but that's perfectly acceptable in a sports fan environment. We're supposed to be exited about our team.

    :cheers:

    Here's another way to shout w/o caps!

    FAR MORE OBNOXIOUS THAN THIS.
