Title: Forum Titles are Proper Nouns
Post by: HoffmanMyster on Tue, 29 September 2015, 23:16:57
I just capitalized all the forum titles, cause lowercase was silly.

I'm nostalgic for the old silly way of doing things. Please update the nostalgia theme to include optional old-style inconsistent capitalization.

I thought I was seeing things first.

Then I wondered whether they had been like this all the time and I hadn't noticed.

Finally I told myself to stop being silly and see if there was any discussion about it.

I feel a bit better now.

Oh, yeah. That's what I meant, but my phone somehow had "Geekhack" as the autocorrect version. Whoops.

I've been welcoming people to Geekhack for a while now.

Does this mean I've been doing it wrong all this time?

This would be a cool change to the site name capitalization--geekHack.  Although this actually makes it harder to read. :(

SwiftKey always autocorrected to "Geekhack," so that's what I've always gone by.

I can't help that both of you are wrong. :rolleyes:

Can someone scrape the database and count the usage of the various forms? We should go by consensus.

So is this a descriptive thing?
Title: Re: Forum Titles are Proper Nouns
Post by: SamirD on Fri, 02 October 2015, 17:40:02
Personally, I think it's geekhack because of the following:I don't autocorrect is going to overturn the administrator's capitalization decisions.

Didn't we decide bars are best?

We need to get the forum name cleared up, otherwise how can you even say WHERE you are discussing that bars are best?

smth like that.  not sure how it used to look.

Code: [Select]
.navigate_section ul li a:not([href *= "topic"]),
.catbg a[href *= "collapse"],
    a.subject {
    text-transform: lowercase;
}

This works for me. I'm using Stylish.
Modified a couple times to add some other places where forum names are mentioned.
