I'm nowhere near proficient in PHP but I do know that there's a function (strtoupper) to output characters in all caps.

What I'm trying to do is make thread titles in all caps. I imagine it's not as simple as dropping the PHP function into a template, but how would one go about creating a bit of code to wrap around a certain piece of VB content ($threadtitle, for example)?

you may use showthread_poll_start hook and use the function you mentioned on $thread['title']

So drop that in a plugin, then it'll automatically convert all thread titles, or does something have to be added to the templates?

i dont think somethink should be changed in the templates as the thread title is now sent with capital letters to the template. try it out .

So showthread_poll_start (not post?) and:

strtoupper ($thread[title]);

?

Why not just use CSS to do it?
