The Brickset Forum currently runs on a different platform (Vanilla Forums) to the main Brickset.com site. There are many advantages gained by using Vanilla Forums over a more conventional platform, not least the modern look and feel (more similar to Facebook than phpBB style message boards) and increased usability. Unfortunately, due to the differing platforms, all users are required to create a separate account. We ask that you use the same username as for your Brickset.com account. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
