Hi I was wondering if there was a way i could change my username and email on my profile or do I have to set up a whole new acct?
yes there's a way that you could change your email. on your profile find the
Account Related Settings at the middle left of your browser, and about your username, you must to be a donator and contact theymos for that request to be granted. not 100% sure for that but, there's no more other way than that.
but why? since you are a newbie, there's no big deal to you to make/set up a new account with a username you preferred.
