A general observation of this website

[Dayenu]

I tried to post a reply to somebody's question as "I hope so" all in capitals, but after clicking "submit" my line converted to lower case.

 

Just so you know :p

When you use all capitols it may be considered yelling!

[Laurie S.]

Yep, it always does that, even you're using initials. It's a PITA. ;)

 

Hah, fooled it! :)

Interesting observation -- it looks like it converts them to lower case if you type the entire message in caps, but when you use a mixture of CAPS and lower case, IT LEAVES THEM ALONE.

 

 

Also just noticed that Dayenu starts with a capital D in the original post, but when I quoted it, the D got changed to lower case.

CC is just trying to make us be 'civil'.:)

Well, good, I am glad CC improved your post. Why would you yell "I hope so"?

[Hlitner]

I think many folks just do not know the old posting protocol (used internationally) that posting in CAPS is considered shouting and rude. There are more and more people that are joining the online community and they just need a little time to get themselves educated :)

But another poster did the same later, and my D is still capital.

 

OK, Varoo, I want my D back! NOW! :mad: :D

You learn something new every day :cool:

[Cruisin' Chick]

I love it (NOT) when people gently try to inform someone's post is basically unreadable because of the font, type color, or run-on sentences/paragraphs...and the OP doesn't "get it."

Maybe if I keep practicing enough ........................

 

Hey, it seems to be working now.

Glad I got to return it to you, whew! (mopping brow)

 

I was getting frightened because you sounded really angry there. :D

 

But now I am wondering what made it happen the last time.

It kept bugging me, wondering what had happened, so I kept playing around with it trying to figure it out.

 

The first time I quoted your original message, I had tried typing a reply all in caps and did a preview to see how it would look.

 

I did not notice it, but at that point, it converted your entire message that I had quoted to lower case as well as converting my reply all in caps to lower case.

 

Will try to replicate it again next in another message.

Some strange stuff going on here.

[broberts]

Funny, i was sure i'd seen entire posts all caps. Edit: As you may note the conversion isn't very smart - initially I simply posted the first sentence in all caps.

ok, i am typing this reply all in caps to see if it will again convert your entire quoted message to lower case when it converts my reply in caps to lower case.

 

i apologize in advance for once again stealing your capital d, but hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me as i promise to return it the next time i quote a message of yours.

 

 

Looking at it again and adding -- Wait a minute -- How come it left the capital J in your quoted message when it converted the other capitals to lower case?

Most who use computers (or tablets) are quite aware of how to increase the size of fonts during the reading process. So still no justification for "SHOUTING." If you need help in increasing the size of the fonts (when you read) just post the device/operating system here and we will try to give you some assistance :)

Did you type DIRECT onto the page, or paste from a Word Document?

Sometimes when I chop & paste every cap goes to lower case. Even when I correct it in an edit.

 

THERE'S ONLY ONE DARNED WAY TO FIND OUT, JOHN BULL QUIETLY THOUGHT TO HIMSELF

Edit: thought so, the problem is at your end.;)

Wish I could get my computer to convert my lunch into something yummy that's posted on Zydecocruiser's food porn page(s). NOW THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!:D:D:D

In fact studies suggest that mixed cap text is far easier for most people to read. Those with vision challenges generally find larger font sizes and surrounding white space contribute far more to readability than all caps. Typeface and color can also made a difference.

 

To change the font size click on the number in the field to the right of the type face name. This text for instance is size 7.

[OCruisers]

Sometimes, all caps and a very large font size can make longer posts harder to read.

This is definitely not easier for me to read. Maybe it is easier for you. :D
