    glad to help, except mine was set to standard and could post with all caps, changed it to basic and it applied the uppercase words (ucwords in php), change it back and behaviour went back to normal

    Might be getting somewhere.

    Mark, can you check your user settings. Select the UserCP in the nav bar. then Select ‘Edit Options’ in the left hand menu.

    Scroll down to ‘Message Editor interface’. If it is set to ‘Basic Editor’ then the system exhibits the symptoms you describe of changing the capitalisation of thread titles. Change the setting to ‘Standard Editor’ and the problem goes away.

    This still leaves the prob of editing a thread title after anothrer thread has started.

    I saw the same symptoms as you a couple of weeks ago, where things like LA198 was changed to La198 and couldn’t be edited back to LA198. However, Mike J and myself played about with some test threads last night. We could put things like LA198 and BBMF in the title and they would not be modified to La198 or Bbmf. We could even edit the thread title (taken form the title of the first message in the thread at creation), until a later thread was started, when the message title could be editied, but not reflected in the thread title.

    I will put up a test thread and we will see what happens.

    best wishes

    Mike J has been doing some testing with this. It looks like the thread title can be edited, and the changes reflected in the index, only until another thread is added. Once another thead is added, you can change the message title, but not the thread title.

    I had a scan of the vBulleting manual, but there is nothing in there about it.

    So if you want to modify a thread title, be quick.

    third test, and the title in the message index does change! has webby been changing the configuration?

    Had another muck about. Something has changed in the last couple of weeks. Now edits to the message title are applied, even when the first post in the thread and others have posted follow-ups. This was not the case 2 weeks ago.

    All I can say is try it and see.

    its a ‘feature’ of the vBulletin board software. Not sure if the configuration allows it to be switched off. Suppose the idea is to stop folks shouting. but it does backfire slightly with things like aircraft registrations and acronyms.
