Make the topic title displayed in the topic list match the case that the user enters. Stop changing all but the first letter of each string to lowercase.

A PUG is a Pick Up Game; a Pug is a dog.
A PUB is a Public Game; a Pub is where I drink.

I'm not sure why this was implemented. Maybe there was a desire to keep topic titles looking uniform and professional. I understand that all-caps doesn't look great on the front page of the forums. The current system does prevent people from grabbing attention by hitting Caps Lock before they start typing.

Unfortunately, acronyms were apparently forgotten about during the making of this decision.

Add Mw:O, Sl, Ml. Ll. Spl, Mpl, Lpl, Erll, Ppc, Erppc, Srm, Ssrm, Lrm, Ac2, Ac5, Ac10, Ac20, Uac5, all the user created jargon, and all the mech variant names to the examples above, and you've got quite a mess.

Make the displayed topic title match the case that the user enters.

Yes. This is totally unimportant in the big scheme of things, but it annoys the ever-living crap out of me. I hate it when people use acronyms that are all lowercase too, it just gets under my skin. The shift key isn't THAT hard to press...
