Just to explain in more detail: the SHOUTING filter prevents a post title or post content from being ALL CAPS if it's above a certain length, said length including some punctuation characters. When the forum was upgraded, this setting went back to its default value of one, which resulted in things like "WHS" and "FTFY" being lowercased, and of course becoming :d. Admin has increased the trigger value to five, so commonly-used abbreviations like those will get through OK, although longer all caps posts will still be de-shoutified.
A quick test shows that this will still change "FTFY " to "Ftfy :d" so maybe it should be increased to six or seven
Mixed-case posts/titles weren't affected.
Also, quotes don't get counted, so for example quoting a post that consists solely of "FTFY" and replying "STFU" will get through; but if the reply was "ROTFLMAO" then both the quote and the post would be lowercased. I don't know if that's a bug or a feature, but that's how it works, and the only setting we have is to set the length, so if it proves to be a problem for you then you might have to revert to speaking in English
