Formatting iHub Posts with HTML Tags

As a long time subscriber to both iHub and to its sister site Silicon Investor (as well as The Motley Fool: TMF) I have a single fixable gripe and I've mentioned it several times here ... but not for several years.

Both SI and TMF accept posts formatted using either upper case or lower case letters (I i, B b, U u, e.g.) enclosed in angle brackets or square brackets.

IHub on the other hand allows only lower case (i, b, u, e.g.) and it's a PITB.

I do all post composition for any board I post to in a text editor and it adds HTML tags semi-automatically (select text to be formatted, and hit a predefined macro icon for Bold, Italic, Underline, etc.). It's a real time saver. It uses all upper case.

Any post for iHub requires reformatting ... swapping lower case for upper case either by hand, or with a global search and replace.

Would iHub consider allowing upper case in addition to lower case? Please.

TIA
