The key stroke short cut for this one smilie has been altered. It was 8) and for a forum that routinely has numeric posts.. well, it was just a bad idea. If you still want to type the short cut you can. Use this but with no spaces
: cool :

I am so lazy that I type in smilies so that I don't have to go to the advanced features.

Tried to post a short reply using SWR in uppercase- it came out in lowercase. Tried to edit the post to fix it, it keeps changing back to lower case...
Is LGFNB secretly moderating?

I suspect the software might be outsmarting itself by thinking that a post that's almost in all caps is "shouting" so it converts to lower case? I've never heard of a problem with using capitalized abbreviations and acronyms within the body of a mixed-case post.

Well, let me test this using the quick reply, and a nonsense sentence.... If I decide on an SWR of 4%, I'll be living pretty well.

Hah! It converted the one with LOTS OF CAPS. (BTW, I put LOTS OF CAPS in CAPS on this post).
So, it seems like it only converts if it sees a LOT OF SHOUTING.
I hate it when SW tries to 'help' with no indication of what it is or isn't going to do  .
edit/add - just to be clear - my post #202 was ALL CAPS

Thanks, ERD50.
It looks like the problem has been resolved. (edited to add: well, THAT one!  )

Not shouting, just testing
Note: Interesting, that was all caps.

I have a question. I was just looking at my Thanks messages, and I have a couple from 5/6 that are showing up with N/A in the thread name. Does this mean the thread got deleted? Or the post? Or is it something else? Not a big deal, just curious. Thanks.
