Watch the title capitalization
Sometime, when there's not much going on, please scan all the Forum titles looking at capitalization. Sometimes a Forum Title has the first word capitalized and the second or third word in lower case, sometimes all the words in a title are capitalized.
Personally, I favor capitalization of all words in a Forum Title, using the same rule as for titling books. But, if it were that only the first word of a title is capitalized and all the rest are in lower case, I certainly could live with that.
I just think consistency is very nice. That's the Engineer in me peeking out...

Re: Watch the title capitalization
It's hard to be consistent when you are trying to get a brand new forum started. I'm sure at some point we will get around to doing a better job of 'house cleaning'.

Snag is the longer it's left the harder it'll be to play catch up.
Best leave as is - looks good to me
Just call me Geoff....
I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.
It doesn't mean I know what I'm doing

Re: Watch the title capitalization
Very good point but you are fighting an uphill battle! Lol! You can thank the cell phone/ texting generation. The younger folks who text 300+ words a minute are impatient so they started coming up with numerous abbreviations, LOL,LMAO,IMHO, BTW, etc. It was a sad day for sentence structure! ( laughing out loud!) Lol! Generation X and millinials rule the world! Now THAT is a scary thought! LMAO!
