If you try to type in all caps, like this

I Want To Type In All Caps

is how it will show up.

If you add characters on the side, it works:
HELLO doesn't work
.HELLO. works

There is a setting in FluxBB where you can change it. The ST obviously has all-caps off.

Re: What does scratch have against caps?!?!?

If you have a post that is entirely made out of caps, like

HELLO I THINK SCRATCH IS COOL

it'll turn into

Hello I Think Scratch Is Cool

However, this is extremely easy to bypass, because as long as there's at least one lowercase letter it won't filter. It's just because ALL CAPS CAN BE EXTREMELY ANNOYING, ESPECIALLY IF YOU TYPE A MULTI-PARAGRAPH POST LIKE THIS.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Its actually called SHOUTING.
SHOUTING is known to be rude.

I see the shouting point, but reckless people doing this make it look like they have bad grammer. The Scratch Team needs to tweak the process so grammar obsessed users have an easier time.

Put a bit of code anywhere in the post that looks like this:

Code:
