Text changes from upper to lower case ?
I wrote a birthday message in capital letters, but it kept changing from upper case to lower case... here:

http://forums.techguy.org/announceme...just-judy.html

I changed the size and color of the font ~(to Comic Sans)~ and centered it on the page, then pressed send, and the message was in lower case letters.
I tried editing it four times with a different font, size and color... and finally gave up and wrote an edit message at the bottom.

The same thing happened when I did the same for Hewee's birthday, but I was able to fix it...

It is not a big deal for me, but I thought I should let you know about this. I don't know if it might be a software "bug?"

I'm not sure if it was changed Susan as to type in capitals is considered shouting in many forums, I may be wrong, I probably am

Actually, try typing a reply in capitals, it changes to lower case so I assume it is the case.

Yes, the board software does that to prevent shouting.

Thanks both of you for your replies...

Yes, I know that all capitals mean shouting... I don't think there is another person that gets more annoyed at that than me! ... I would never do that in a regular reply...

I was just trying to WHISPER a big shout to say happy birthday to Judy...
