Do something about this automatic capitalization "correcting"

It's annoying that this new board setup will "fix" capitalizations. For example, if you put "US" as in United States in the front of a thread title, the board will change it to "Us" thus making it confusing. There's a thread like that right now, actually, if you check unrelated. I've also had this problem in War Room posts where I was trying to parody by typing in all caps, and it changed them to lowercase. I managed to fix it I think, but I don't remember how. Is there a setting people can change or something?

I agree with this suggestion. It does the same thing to acronyms. Would the Sluts please get a grip and not spam suggestions?

You can override the Auto-UnCaps by putting just 1 lowercase letter in the title, and you can continue with the Caps writing.

I do this all the time at gamefaqs.com , all you have to do to write in all Caps in the Topic header is to choose a word that has the letter "i". Because you can substitute the Uppercase "I" for a Lowercase "l".

I.E. : "DlE MOFOS!"

I know there are ways around it, but I never took a course in how to post on messageboards.

Neither did I. :(

If I had, I might be able to know how to put "attachments" to my posts...
