Has anyone else noticed now, that if you create a thread and there are more than 5 caital letters in the header, it asks you not to type the header in upper case letters? Its only the first letter in each word in capitals, but it seems to think the entire header is in capitals. Is there some sort of limiter, regulating the quantity of capitals in the headers? Surely this screen should only appear if the entire header is upper case?

I'm not certain it IS 5, but it seems to be around that number every time.

Wether it's 5 or 10 letters is irelevant really.
The fature has allways been there to avoid the forum being covered with capital letter.
Why?
"Everyone" believe their topis is important or want to draw attention to their topic in one way or another. What is the easiest and most natural way to do this? Yes, capital letters all the way.
The number of capital letters is limited like this to let people use the right letters in shortaged words like MP3, WAP and GPRS.
"I've got a GPRS problem" would be looking funny if you said "i've got a gprs problem" or "I HAVE GOT A VERY SERIOUS GPRS PROBLEM HERE!!! PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!"
See the difference?
In a forum capital letter indicat you are shouting and we wouldn't want any shouting in here would we children?

I don't think it needs to be changed but...
I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to change so that the number of capitals allowed is equal to the number of words plus 2 or 3. That would allow proper titling with the first letter of most words capitalized and leave a little room for words like WAP or HTML. |
