I've seen this hack before, I think on spawn's site before it went to "elite" or something, but now can't find it in database or anywhere else.

So can anyone come up with the quick code for this or post the hack if they have it?

Can you explain this hack? I've never heard of it before.

It's a pretty simple concept...
When a user starts a new topic, they enter a headline/title or whatever you want to call it in the Subject: field.

The hack was to get rid of annoying headlines that people start with a normal letter like "how do I fix this?", it would automatically fix it to "How do I fix this?".

Basically it would capitalize every first letter entered in the Subject: field.
It'd come in handy for us since I try to keep all topic headlines neat, and fixing it all manually is a pain in the ass.

Use "ucfirst".

In postings.cgi FIND this:
$StatsLine = "A||$Notes||0||$UserName||$TopicSubject||||$MsgIcon||";

Add BEFORE it
$TopicSubject=ucfirst($TopicSubject);

I think that should work.
