I did not know where else to stick this without being too much of a problem.

My email address for the projects is very inconvenient for me for responses from forums. I would like to know if I can change the email address on forums only without screwing my CPID.

Any advice, thanks.

No, the forums on BOINC projects are integrated into the BOINC back-end software. Your unique email address will be used for both your account and your BOINC attachment. Only if projects use a 3rd party (phpBB) bulletin board, can you use different email addresses.

However, you could of course make a new email address and sign the projects over to that new email address. You will have to do that per project, through the Your Account pages.

It's what I did a couple of years ago, made myself a new Gmail account especially for BOINC. As long as you don't use it for anything else either, it won't fetch spam.
