Later edit:
In my reply, I have capitalised all 'I's, my initial, and your name Tdol.
I note that even the line [quote=tdol;493479] removes the capitalisation. |

The reason staff were unable to replicate the "errors" was because the SHOUTING plugin was not being applied to staff - I trust them to post nicely, you see  Quote:

In fact, writing within the quote box is technically a misuse of the quote feature as your additional text is not part of the original quote.
Glad it worked out!

Glad it worked out! | Me too, Thanks.
