View Full Version : All caps (shouting) protection leads to rare bug.

Well not really a bug, but more of an unintended consequence.

I was trying to see why someone quoting my image ended up posting a bad link (see here (http://www.dawgsaloon.com/showthread.php/9122-New-Beth-O-photo-Let-in-snow-in-my-bikini%21%21?p=454560&viewfull=1#post454560)). I think what's happening is that since my username is all uppercase, if someone quotes me and there is no normal text (i.e. just the image and a smilie), the shout protection kicks in and converts the whole post to lowercase... even links, which can be case sensitive.

Anyways.. it doesn't really matter, just thought I'd report it.

Make a post with the first word is caps for emphasis and it turns it lower case.(like what happened with SAME above)
