Description
I noticed this behavior when I had the
Hide profile pictures in commentssetting enabled. The profiles within the comment section always used a capital letter, even though I observed some profiles without pictures that used lowercase letters when the setting was turned off. After removing the.toUpperCase()from this setting, I realized we could apply the same approach to our own profiles. This is especially useful when two profiles use the same letter. Previously, the only way to distinguish them was by color, but now the appearance of the letter itself whether capitalized or not also serves as a differentiator.Screenshots
