Problem: some abbreviations written in CAPITALS will auto-uncapitalize.
Will attempt this now using all capitals in the following abbreviations:
PQF: 6785
PQP: 176786
BIS: 112323
(It's possible that the above will display correctly. I am not 100% how the issue is generated.
If the above abbreviations are all in capitals it did NOT happen this time, obviously.)
I have noticed this before, and it has come up again recently in the United forum:
First with this post: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/32922571-post99.html
Then apparently with the following post:

It's because we disallow all caps to stop "shouting". You have to have at least 1 lowercase letter (it could actually be more, I'd have to check).Originally Posted by narvik
No, apparently not. Interesting.
This was a major problem in the United Airlines forum recently, so it is good to know the work-around of including at least one lower-case character.
Last year I got around this by changing the "I" in BIS to lower case. I suppose I could have typed some "hidden" text (with at least one non-capitalized letter) in white characters.

It happened to me again today.
GS 2025 Qualifications ... planning, insights and guesses? (Post # 60)
I quoted a post and replied: $50K - $24K = $26K
Within the quotation I also included "(Post # 54)" after the quoted FlyerTalker's username and "[Emphasis added.]". Reduced to lower case were not only my letters "K", but also the "P" and "E" in the quote.
I got around it by adding a link to this thread.
