Acronyms.

[sapelesam]

How do I get acronyms to appear in capital letters in my question box on AB.

[pixie374]

Put a full stop between the letters.

[pixie374]

Oh :-). And a space?

ACRONYMS
Works for me.

[sapelesam]

I did the first, not the second.

[sapelesam]

That's in the answer, not question box OG.

Just had a scan through old questions. It looks like you just need a space for the letters to all be capitals.

0_G:
I think that Sam is referring to the title box, where a title such as 'BBC and eBay" gets changed to "Bbc And Ebay".

When the changes to this site were being discussed earlier in the year, the Ed asked for opinions on this matter. Most people seemed to dislike the way this was happening and it was meant to be changed with the "all new and improved" version of AB - but iut never happened.

As has been said, inserting full-stops should work.

[sapelesam]

If you look at my 22.21 question in Tech, you'll see full stops don't work.

[Buenchico]

Oh, hang on. Full stops clearly don't work because I've just looked again at the last question you asked!

Sorry!

^^^ Crossed posts ;-)

[sapelesam]

The worst sort of posts.

[Buenchico]

Pedantic point: 'BT' and 'TV' aren't acronyms!

[pixie374]

Exactly what I saw between my first and second posts, Chris :-)

[sapelesam]

Well, one was, and the other isn't. Acronyms was easier than saying a run of capital letters. And then trying to explain what I meant.

[Buenchico]

Neither ever was. They're both just abbreviations.

Time for me to put on my orthopedic shoes.
