Hex moves made with the iOS mobile app started appearing in uppercase a few days ago, like "H6" instead of "h6". GolemBot moves also have this bug. https://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=2551389 is an example where it started happening midgame.

It switches back and forth (starting on move 135) on my PC as well. The official SGF notation for Hex says column labels are case insensitive, and columns beyond Z (or z) continue AA, AB etc. (Or aa, ab) If you click the TXT link in the top of the Moves box, the text file follows Little Golem's own version of SGF, which labels the first 26 columns in lowercase, and the next 26 (which doesn't happen with Hex on LG) in uppercase. This has not changed. It seems the minortriad link can handle your game just fine, but the trmph link accepts just the first 46 moves. Maybe that is a bug in trmph?

I agree this can be irritating, especially switching cases back and forth, but if you are using software that reads the move list, I recommend you use the .hsgf file from the TXT link. And switch from trmph to minortriad for analysis.
