I tried posting all caps for soemthing, and it didn't work. Is the forum automatically makign all caps into initial caps instead? This has happened twice, now. I used them for effect. Why can't I do this? As in -->

W E. L O V E. I T! Only without the spaces. Not sure if that even worked.

I have used all caps before....

ETA: Ok, weird. That was all-caps and reverted to lower case. Maybe its a change in software? I know I've put various words in all caps....

Too FUNNY!

ETA: FUNNY stayed caps. CAN I DO A SENTENCE? Guess it's just you guys :)

Ok, let's do some testing. Teh below will ahve various caps. Can't comment on the typos, I'm sure they're gonna stay, I rarely fix 'em.

THIS IS ALL CAPS WITH NO PUNCTUATION IN BETWEEN.

THIS. IS. ALL. CAPS. WITH. PERIODS.

This sentence is not all caps, but STARTING NOW IT IS! And now it's not again.

This is not all caps, but I'm gonna go with THIS and THIS for emphasis.

Ok, let's see what we got.

You're cracking me up. Were you and Melissa on crack a bit ago? Seems fine to me now!

I'm telling you, I haven't had any crack in days! This is the post I'm referring to!

You'll see that it all went down to initial caps, but I promise you, it was not typed in that way.

I love it.

ETA: That was all caps at first! So, some words change and some don't? :dizzy:

This is the funniest thread i've read in a long time!

eta: It was all caps and now it looks like I type with no caps (i've). Crazy.

Looks like as long as you have at least one lowercase letter it will leave it alone.

o_mom

Oh another one to try. This is mixed case for now.

Now it is all caps.

ETA: Won't let you get by with that either. :)

Did you see my post just after that? As long as you have at least one lowercase letter it will leave it... you just can't "shout" your entire post.

Yep, you appear to be right! Thanks for helping me figure that out!

What a capital idea!

ETA: my all caps post got converted into lower case - weird! maybe the mods want us to make nice and not yell at each other?

This is an automatic feature of the software to keep people from shouting at one another. THANKS for sharing the workaround though, ladies. Just kidding! :p

Truthfully, I like that. I've seen way too many posts with all caps that just make me cringe. Even if the person isn't trying to shout, it sure feels like you're being yelled at by an angry person. This is much calmer!
