Upper case changing to lower case.

F1 J4 Y9 E9

When i typed similar in the linked thread, the upper case letters all changed to lower case. Is the forum doing something to what I type or is it at my end?

Running Firefox 71.0 on Win10 laptop.

Iirc, there has to be at least one lower case letter in a post otherwise a post in all capitals reverts to all lower case. Don’t ask me why but I do remember it happening to me in the past

That would seem to make sense here - a post with all caps is usually considered "shouting", so their filter might be thinking it's a shouting post and changing it to lower case.

This is correct. If you change one letter to lowercase, the rest will stay uppercase.
