I can't change my name or my primary email address. When I try to change my name it says "There was a problem saving your settings." And I'm assuming I need to link a personal email and then change that to the primary, but when I try to add a new email address I get "There was an error while trying to add (*new email*) to your account." Can someone please contact me to help me?
