(First question already answered)

If a thread title is in all caps, it's converted to avoid the online equivalent of shouting. The conversion software doesn't know that parts of it, like airport or airline codes, should stay in UC.

Maybe it also changes posts or sentences from all UC to mixed case.

I've never seen an airport code, or any other isolated capitalized string, converted to LC when the text around it was in LC or mixed case.

If that wasn't the problem, can you post an example?
