nope so far all addresses are small caps unless you are programming in ASP where cases matters even in the addressing
I am on an iMac, OSX 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.2 (6534.52.7).
Next time it happens I will post it here. I am ashamed to admit that I don't know if it was actually UC or LC - pretty unobservant of me.
Edit: Just now: http://www.gayheaven.org/showthread.php?p=993048#post993048
The result after dragging to my window: http-://oron.com/lv3j7dlg7rox
Interestingly, when I dragged it back here from my window, it became a ":" again, but when I dragged it back to the navigation bar in Firefox it became the actual link (no longer the URL itself), which is the usual behavior. Before when the conversion to "-" occurred, dragging it to Firefox failed - nothing ended up in the nav bar - which is when I looked for the problem that I found was the character switch. When I edited it on my window to change to ":" and then dragged to Firefox, it converted correctly to the link.

Ok, here is the (somewhat embarrassing) explanation. In the HFS file system - recommended on OS X - you can't have a file name containing a colon. Why then, he asks, have I been drag/drop-ping these from posts to a folder for literally years without issue?
The answer appears to be that heretofore whatever posters did to create the links caused only that part of the URL following the "//" to actually appear in the folder when d/ded. Recently (less than a week) it seems that some posters are doing something different when creating the links, and the entire URL gets pasted. That causes the file system to make the URL 'legal' by replacing the ":" with "-".
Edit: Of course another explanation could be that the BB software was changed in some way, creating the issue.
