    https://kintsugi.seebs.net/threads/life-is-just-a-lot-of-playing-nice.6977/

    The tags for the thread itself are all lowercase when I for sure typed in a few uppercase. This is almost a nonexistent complaint because it’s such a fiddly thing, I just felt the desire to not fight with my own vent thread, even, fucking Brutus

    So it turns out there's a mechanical reason, apparently. The database configuration the xenforo people picked for this makes tag names case-insensitive. Therefore, if you have both "foo" and "FoO" tags, they're the same tag. Therefore they display them all smashed to lowercase. Otherwise, as I understand it, each tag would be permanently stuck with the capitalization of its first use, whatever that might have been. So if someone had tagged a thread "SeEbS", and that was the first usage of that series of letters, there would be no way to make another thing tagged "seebs"; it'd get converted, I guess?

    Weird, but probably beyond my ability to fix, sorry.

    That’s acceptably fucked up, and fucked up in an acceptable way, no further complaints.

    OH how strange!!! normally a lil box shows up where the post would be that's like "this is a post from an ignored user, r u sure??" never seen one like this before

    Might depend on how you got there? I get the box if I follow a link straight to the ignored post, but maybe it does that if you go to that page number in the thread and the only stuff on the page is by ignored users.

    i'm guessing it was like that due to alix being the one person to have a post on that page at the time, and you having her ignored
