Chillyb1 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 The new forum automatically capitalizes words in topic titles but regularly does so incorrectly. It will capitalize letters after an apostrophe and won't capitalize consecutive letters. For example, "I'm" is always rendered "I'M" and "AMT" is rendered "Amt" while contractions end with a capital letter. Can we get rid of this?
Harry P. Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Hmmmmm... I never noticed that. Probably part of the forum software and not something easily changed.
David G. Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I've not noticed that either. Check your browser settings, maybe that's the source.
Chillyb1 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 Here are two examples added this morning to illustrate the issue: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26877&pid=254936&st=0&#entry254936 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26878&pid=254937&st=0&#entry254937 And there are many others that were unintentional. Initially I thought perhaps forum members were just being incredibly sloppy with their topic titles. But it is definitely an auto-correction feature that doesn't make much sense. And I can't find anything in the settings for my account that would turn the feature off, so I'm assuming it is universal.
Rick Schmidt Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Easy fix Don't use contractions. And don't build AMT or MPC models problem solved ....lol Seriously tho he is right I checked to see if it was a BROWSER thing and since I doubt he and I are on the same browser I think it's not. If ya wanna see this in action Harry or Gregg Just simply do a test like I did. Type a topic title capitaling everything that shouldn't be and not capitaling everything that should. Leave letters after ' small and preview the post. It will change the title even there. No need to clutter the actual board with test posts.
