i went to go set up my account and i wanted it under my internet name benjamin1254 or something close... instead the project picked up my computers name and used it for my user name instead. Any way to change this? thanks!

But your account name obviously is benjamin1254, as you can see to the left of your post.

Your user name is benjamin1254, as Gundolf says, not that it maters much since the user names are not unique. The project itself uses your e-mail as the unique identifier. If you look at the computers attached to the account you will see your computer name. This is for your convenience should you have more than one computer attached to the account. When we look at your account we only see a computer ID number which was assigned by the project .
