My http://boincstats.com/en/bam/account/ shows that BAM! knows my country+ZIP (United States and 98074). But, when I go to http://boincstats.com/en/bam/signup/ and click on "Create Account" for a project that I don't have an account on, it nicely creates the account and adds it to http://boincstats.com/en/bam/projects/, yet going to the project website and checking my account there shows that country+zip are left as International+blank, requiring me to manually set them for each new project I sign up for via BAM!. Is this something BAM! can set properly during the account creation?

Another great thing would be for the settings on http://boincstats.com/en/bam/accountPreferences/ also be transferred to the Message Board settings of the new project. I am tired of clicking "Immediately, by email" for how the messages, posts, etc. are to be delivered to me, for each project I join...

Interestingly enough, as I am happily signing up for projects in BAM! and fixing up the country+ZIP info on the project websites every single time, lo and behold, the account created on GPUGRID by BAM! had the right data for country+ZIP. Does this mean that BAM! is trying to do the right thing but only sometimes succeeding? Or, is there some other mechanism going on in the background?
