    Default Typing capitals??

    I don't think it is just me....

    When I try to type a series of capitals some do appear as typed when posted while others leave the initial capital and lowercase the rest. Does not appear to make any difference if spaces or full stops are placed between the letters.

    Makes no difference when using iPad or Mac desktop.

    Browser is Safari, latest version on both.

    Could someone do a Pauline i.e. Please Explain.
    Regards,
    Bob

    Forum software, I've seen it happen on other forums too.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    I see exactly what I type but when actually posted the "de capitalisation " happens.

    I go to edit, do it again, post, same result. However, when posting again only minutes later it all worked WYSIWYG.

    Totally inconsistent results.

    If I type FNQ & hit preview, it changes to Fnq

    If I type FNQ FNQ it changes to Fnq fnq

    If I copy & paste BobLs post to it, it doesn't change.

    When I send a PM the spaces I type between words do not appear. So weird - and annoying. I now type into Notepad and copy'n'paste it.

    I've only noticed this happening since I upgraded to Windows 10

    Please do not shout (type all caps), in the forums, it is not necessary and dangerously raises your blood pressure. (No offense intended, just throwing something around.)

    Something is going on, haven't had an issue with spacing between words before but after Jane's comment, when I type the first sentence above, the space bar might as well have not been there while typing, but when I went back and fixed it on the fly it worked every time. Win 7 Ultimate and latest version Opera. I think this might be a style sheet formating thing or similar.

    Haven't had a chance to try the all caps issue as yet.
    I used to be an engineer, I'm not an engineer any more, but on the really good days I can remember when I was.
