  1. Need help changing users


    I initiated session with the wrong email last week and I just realized when I noticed I didn't have my usual avatar. How can I change it?

    Only way I have found is to add my correct email as a new alias, but I cannot because that email has its own account (which is the one I want to use) or to create a new user with that account which will get rid of my existing one along with files and config (Which I really want to keep)
