Yes, you're quite correct. When you attempt to start your post with all capitals (try it), vB does something nifty and prevents people from shouting like muppets. Unfortunately, you've uncovered a little bug - vB sees the first letter is capital (: is capital , then it sees that the second letter is a capital (D) and it converts the second and later letters to lowercase.

While it is a bug, I see it as beneficial - so you can't just post ":D"
