OT but why did it capitalize the title like that? I submitted "GitHub is having issues". I don't see that for other submissions (unless people manually edit them afterwards).
EDIT: Before the change to "GitHub was having issues" it had converted my original submission from "GitHub is having issues" to "GitHub Is Having Issues".
- eurekin 5y agoI first interpreted it as a puny way to advertise some improved github issue tracker
- rapnie 5y agoThere are some rules for when this happens and when it does not. Don't know what they are exactly. Maybe the camelcase in GitHub may have triggered. Anyway, as you say, afterwards you can edit the title and give the desired case format.
- nikotom 5y agoFrom what I can tell from looking at older submissions, it might be doing it if the title is 4 words or less. Not sure why that would be the case though..
- jbverschoor 5y agoToo much smarts in the wrong places imo..
- terramex 5y agoIt is title case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case

- Raed667 5y agoI also find myself writing titles in a "Title Case" like that. It is a habit I got from the days when I used to blog.
- petercooper 5y agoBTW you can see changes that occur like this on https://hackernewstitles.netlify.app/ https://hackernewstitles.netlify.app/ - it seems like the automated title casing is being overridden by mods later on, perhaps.
