    I just tried, and both "all caps" and typing smilies manually worked fine in that thread ... try again?

    It works if you type other words as well, but not if you just type capital letters or capital letters and the smilies.

    Thanks for 'splaining that for me Moe.
    Yeah, its random when it does and doesn't work for me. It doesn't happen very often so I guess I'll just learn to "deal".
    Oh, and I went back to that thread and posted again and the caps worked.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Example ~ typed in all caps.

    ---------------------------------

    Edited remark:
    EVERY letter above the dashed line was originally in
    ALL CAPS ...
    Without some words in either mixed (Upper & lower case),
    the BBS seems to change the ALL CAPS postings into "normal"
    First word Capp'd and all others all lower case.

    Example #2:

    Typed in a combo of Smome Caps, a FEW ALL CAPS,
    and nothing too extreme.



    -------------------
    THIS one turned out just as I typed it - including the
    mischsphelling.

    Oh - that's because "all caps" for one's whole post equals "shouting" in online forums, so is not allowed. We do let some folks, like Catmandu, who has eye trouble, keep things in all caps, but in most forums, you've got to "lower your voice" for at least part of your post, that's all!

    All caps is generally considered shouting in nearly every online environment, and I hate all caps anywhere. Catmandu is one that I tolerate caps from, since, like Karen says, he has eye problems.
