a Question For the Sysop
Posted: 12-16-04 06:38am

First of all, thank you for being part of the group of people who have formed and maintained this important forum.


My question, or observation, is this: sometimes I like to emphasize a word or two in capital letters. The software that supports this forum does not allow that. It will not even allow "tmj" to be written in capital letters.


It will not allow the abbreviation for "for example" -- i.E. -- without inappropriately capitalizing the "e."

if I sign off a post with a few words, followed by a comma and then followed by my first name, my name does not begin with a capital letter, nor can this or any other discrepancy be changed by my editing. ... Also, if the last character in a line is a quotation mark, then the first letter in the next paragraph cannot be capitalized. (also, the "a" in this post's title cannot be capitalized.)


if nothing can be done about this, I will ignore it. This forum is too important for anyone to be bothered by such small stuff. But if it can be easily corrected, i'd much appreciate it.


Please delete this post or move it somewhere else. It doesn't belong here, I think, as a permanent post, imo.

Dear Steven,

I hear you. We just recently restored the ALL CAPS function. We hesitated to turn it back on for fear that people would blast the forums with posts in all caps. This does not turn out to be true, however, and now you have the freedom to express yourself. Happy capitalization-ing!
