    Default Post New Thread title bug?

    Not sure if this qualifies as a bug or perhaps the side-effect of some anti-spam code that you guys have going on, but I thought I would note---

    I attempted to start this thread with the title "GOD SAVE THE SHADE!" --- all caps with an exclamation point.

    When it posted to the forum, the title simply displayed as "God save the shade!"

    Less capitalization, much?

    A small quirk, but worth noting.

    I think that may be intentional - I've seen vBulletin on other sites configured to change any all-caps text to lower-case with only the first initial capitalised as a way of preventing "shouty" posts. I'm slightly surprised it applies to titles as well though.
    Fancy something a bit different? Try the infrequently-updated Euro comics thread or the Small Press Reviews thread.

    Aye, I have a mare trying to all caps some of my posts.
    Forum default code, methinks.
    Stop telling me how things should be, I'm just some cunt on the internet.
    Get up, move to a table without the internet, and do something about changing it.
