Use of 'Caps' in Thread Title

[Nick]

I understand that we don't want people posting exclamatory titles with all-caps like...

"YOU GOTTA READ THIS!!!!!!!" or "MY GRANDMA'S A BAD INSTALLER!" ;)

but, there are legitimate instances when the use of all-caps is not only appropriate,
but necessary, such as the JVC 'deal' thread this morning when I had to type J V C
to avoid having it changed to Jvc. Just a few examples of when all-caps are needed
in a title are DBS, FCC , SHVIRA, HDMI and HDCP to name a few.

Case in point, in the title of this thread, the word "CAPS" was typed in caps.

What are the rules and how can I use all-caps when appropiate to do so, but still allow the
board's software to do its job as CAPS COP?

[Chris Blount]

Good suggestion. Try it now. :D

Up to 9 characters in a row can be uppercase.

The CAPS/lowercase 'bug' strikes again! :eek:

In the the title of the thread below, I typed "LCD HDTV" in the title, but it posted
as "Lcd Hdtv". Please edit and advise if I need to do something differently.

Thanks.

Apparently the feature doesn't work right so I have disabled it for now.

Chris just a thought, but is the 'shouting' filter option interfering with the thread title ability to be in all caps?

[Chris Blount]

Sorry, but had to turn the shouting provention back on again. We have already had many instances where people are using all caps.
