I was noticing that some strange things happen because of the "&" in my username... for example, the upload manager calls me jen&tonic, which always makes me laugh (the funniest part is that it's just jen&tonic in the preview). Also, I seem to be getting linked to just "jen" a lot... my MYP name is jen. Are these just minor issues, or should I ask to get my name changed to something without weird symbols in it?

Thanks

They're minor issues. Special characters in usernames always cause a few things to display oddly, but they're just cosmetic problems. If it's annoying you, feel free to ask for a name change - if not, then there's no need to change anything.

Phew, I'm glad I'm not messing anything up... I'm pretty much okay with the weirdness for now, but I'll prepare a funny story just in case
