How to create a TPE Community Forum account
Select Sign Up on the forum and follow the instructions to create a free account. No invitation or invite code is required.
Your forum account is separate from the account you use for TPE. Your existing TPE username and password will not automatically give you access to the forum; you must register for the forum separately.
When signing up, we recommend using the same email address that you use for TPE. This allows us to identify you as a registered TPE user or subscriber and, where applicable, grant you access to areas of the forum reserved for those users.
Although you may use the same email address or username for both accounts, please create a different password for the forum. We advise against reusing your TPE password – or any password you already use for another account.
That’s it – once you’re registered, you’ll be able to participate in the forum.* We look forward to seeing you there!
* In rare cases, your account may require administrator approval if unusual traffic patterns are associated with your access or connection.
When to use the forum for TPE questions and planning

For billing, purchases, account access, or anything that requires sharing private information, please use contact support instead.
The forum is public, and its discussions may appear in search-engine results. Please do not post payment information, account credentials, or other private details.
