Hello,

How do you edit a topic subject line to make the first character lower case?

For example change _Red(int)_ to _red(int)_:

> [@Red(int) does not exist?](https://discourse.processing.org/t/red-int-does-not-exist/44567):
>
> hello! i have the code below to keep sum the rbg values every 16 pixels. However, i’m getting an error saying that red(int), green(int), and blue(int) does not exist?? the argument i passed into the function is a color, so it should work. please help, thank you so much! public void averageColor(PImage img) { for (int i = 0; i \< emojiNames.size(); i++) { Integer[] Color = new Integer[3]; int times = 0; for (int r = 0; r \< img.width; r += 16) { for (int c = 0; c \< i…

I tried and it remained upper-case.

With Processing tab names (similar issue as above) I would go from _R_ to _any other character_ to _r_ and this works. I tried it on my topic and it did not work.

There must be a way of doing it, this discussion ([rotateX does not work as expected](https://discourse.processing.org/t/rotatez-not-working-as-expected/843/13)) managed it.

If you prefix 'rotateX() ’ to the title for this discussion it stays lowercase. Puzzled 🤔

Sort of solved it.

If the first word has an uppercase letter after the first character e.g. ‘reD’ it works but is not a full solution.

This topic explains the behavior I am seeing:

> **[CAPITOL in leading word in title is humanizes incorrectly](https://meta.discourse.org/t/capitol-in-leading-word-in-title-is-humanizes-incorrectly/30050)**

> When I create a post with a title like ‘NASA’ it humanizes it to ‘Nasa’ and won’t let me change it (editing it to ‘NASA’ still reverts it to the humanized form). This seems to only happen when I reduce the number of required characters for a...

In the case of:

[Red(int) does not exist?](https://discourse.processing.org/t/red-int-does-not-exist/44567)

This would be a title that reflects the actual error that is displayed:

> The function “red(int)” does not exist

And correctly shows the method with correct syntax.

The link above and it’s related topics suggests there are are Discourse settings beyond my control.

I am tagging this as a solution that answers my question.
