# I have a government profile, but I'd like to post about "neighbor" topics on my own Forum.

## You can add a neighbor profile to your current account, or create a new account for "neighbor" use. Here's how:

**A.**   **Add a Neighbor profile to your existing account** if you want the **same email address** to be associated with both government and neighbor postings:

- Log into your FPF account.
- Click (or tap) the triple bar symbol (☰) at the top right and select "My Account."
- On the Account page, scroll down and click "Add Neighbor Profile."
- Follow the prompts and fill in your information to create a neighbor profile.
- When posting, be sure to select the appropriate profile.

**B. Create a new account** if you want neighbor postings to be associated with a **separate email address**:

- First, log out of your existing account.  (If you're logged in, you will see a triple bar symbol (☰) at the top right. To log out, click or tap the symbol, and select "Logout."
- Then, at [FrontPorchForum.com](https://frontporchforum.com/),  select "Neighbor" and fill out the form under "Join the conversation."  Click "Sign Up" and follow the prompts to complete the process.
- When posting, be sure you're logged into the appropriate account / profile.  You may have to  log out / log in to get there.
