Forum discussion
I think it would be best if you just leave the forum alone and wait for someone who knows the answer to your question to answer your question. --From Andoria with Love 03:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Answers
To answer your questions from a previous post (which I had to revert because you once again removed your original post along with the nav template): I hope all of this helps. --From Andoria with Love 03:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The thread navigation template is the thing that says ; this is how it looks in the big white box that comes up when you are editing. The thread navigation allows users to navigate back to the main reference desk and also identifies this as a reference desk topic as opposed to a Ten Forward topic.
 * The squiggly lines are called "tildes". When you type four of them after a comment, it replaces them with your signature. In your case, it would read JoeCool ,  (UTC)
 * Yes, you removed your own post by deleting the text you previously wrote and replacing it with new text. You've done it about five times now.


 * In addition, without the thread navigation template, your thread will not show up on the list of active forum threads, and people may not be able to find your question at all. --OuroborosCobra talk 03:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Question
To change the title of a page (the yellow text at the top), you will need to move the page to a new title by selecting the "move" tab at the top of articles and writing in the new title you want the page to be called. However, it is highly-advised that you bring such a move up on an article's talk page first and then wait and see if others agree with the move. --From Andoria with Love 22:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed, in the one suggestion I have seen you make so far, it would be incorrect to change that title. --OuroborosCobra talk 23:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
