Capitals on the TBG forums.

Why can't you TYPE LIKE THIS ON THE TBG FORUMS? I think it's so annoying having to write

Code:

 [b][/b]TEXT IN CAPITALS

especially when you mention words such as TBG, RPG, certain usernames and when you want to stress a point. Why does it work on the main site forums?

Re: Capitals on the TBG forums.

It's the same here, and I think PunBB/FluxBB is set that way by default.

You Can Never Have An All Caps Post In Any Of The Scratch Forums, It Always Ends Up Looking Like This

Just embolden what you want to stress. Or use color.

Re: Capitals on the TBG forums.

It's not on any forum, all I have to do here is switch caps lock on and I TYPE LIKE THIS WITHOUT HAVING TO USE ANY SPECIAL TRICKS. I just want to know why that doesn't work on the TBGs and what the point of it is.

It actually doesn't matter where you type normally, as long as there's a part of your post that's not in all caps it won't disable the capitals.  tongue

Re: Capitals on the TBG forums.

Cool THANKS. BUT WHAT'S THE POINT OF ALL THIS? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TYPE NORMALLY?

Like from the beginning? Is it a glitch?

TO STOP PEOPLE SCREAMING AT YOU LIKE THIS.
All caps text can sometimes be like shouting, which may hurt people's feelings. "THIS PROJECT IS BORING!!!" Like that.

Re: Capitals on the TBG forums.

IT IS ANNOYING, BUT IT IS THERE FOR A REASON. IT PREVENTS SPAMMING OF ONLY CAPITAL LETTERS, AND IT CAN SOMETIMES BE MEAN.
