Hi guys,

The forum seems to be doing weird stuff when posting messages with quotes. It is converting uppercase text to lowercase.

I noticed this and so edited the post (I thought I was going crazy) and it did it again.

I'll work out how to reproduce it and update this post.

I think there might be a setting that prevents upper case in titles. But I don't think it should affect POSTS.

I do know if you post your whole message in uppercase it will convert it to lowercase.

Possibly I might be going mad then but i'll see if I can do it again.

You're right, that must be it then:

My reply consisted of "AC?".

Interestingly, it also converted "AC" in the quoted text to "ac" as well.

Sorry guys, I posted this thread at 5am Australian time.... brain no work. :D
