[minor rant] could you turn off auto-CAPITALIZATION?

What the thread title said.

Sometimes, for emphasis, I like to put some key words into all-caps; this "feature" stops me. I understand it's only for the first word in a "sentence."

Annoying.

I Dont Believe There Is A Way To Turn It Off, Iirc

And Besides, It Only Kicks In When All The Letters In The Post Are In Capitals, Like I'm Doing Now

I guess you're right. The only time I've noticed the issue is when I wanted to emphasize a point and went with a single-word post.

Ex:


YES!

The post above was in all-caps. At least it was before it was mangled.

i don't believe there is a way to disable it, i think it's just an automatic function of the post parsing function

if you need to type in all caps just put in a single lower case letter into your post (through a smilie or otherwise) and it wont trigger

Interesting idea there Conda: the smiley...

How about an "invisible" smiley, really to be used as filler/defeater of the hated CAPS POLICE function.

Okay, I found another, much more common, case where this auto-decapitalization thingy becomes a pain: when you want to simply post the "big grin" smiley by itself.


Behold in the next post:

I had simply clicked on the grinning icon and the above was what I got.

Quiet you. Oh, and if the 10cpp is implemented, I'm auto-pasting Conda's "oh snap" into every post I make, just to pad things out.
