Hello! This is definitely a minor bug/issue, and I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it before, but I figured I'd go ahead and make a post about it

Recently the new update was added where we can automatically preview our forum post. I noticed though that when you're using bbcode to center something, the preview doesn't center it if the C is a capital letter, as shown in this screenshot:


-I also just realized it doesn't work for the other text codes
[b]text here[/b]
will preview correctly, but
[B]text here[/b]
will not; same goes with the other codes

It's not really that important, but it did catch me off guard when I was posting in a forum on my phone (where it automatically capitalizes the first letter) and I thought I had messed up the coding somewhere. Though I do think this could be a potential problem for people who are trying to see how their about me or signature or something would look and they don't know it needs to be a lower case letter in order for it to preview correctly

Quote of mine on a thread that describes the same issue:

Quote from RiakoYes, because when it is parsed by the server and not by your browser in the live preview, it's a little more tolerant of errors (the other problem that I mentioned - failing to properly open and close tags hierarchically, for example - is also tolerated better in the final parsing). But it's still an error after all and should be avoided. It is not guaranteed that the server parsing accepts these errors forever, so it's always best to stick to the official documentation as closely as possible.
