For More Detailed Instructions and Information About this Site:

Homepage:  This page is where the main information and announcements are made.  The tabs to the left and at the top of the page will help you navigate to more information.  We are constantly building the site and adding new information.

Navigation:  The tabs at the top and along the left side of the page are labeled to show what content is available.  Since we are building the site, not all tabs are functional at this time.  The "In Memory" tab contains names of deceased schoolmates.  We'd appreciate your help in keeping this special list as current as possible.  We also encourage you to share your memories of these classmates by clicking on their names and adding your comments. Obituaries are added as soon as they are provided to us.  If you have a question or wish to make comments, click on the "Contact Us" tab.  We'd love to hear from you.

Member Functions Box:  Schoolmates use the tabs to update their profile and contact information.  You can also upload photos (see below), post announcements, change your password and then log out.  Log out after making any changes and the log back in to check to see your revised information.

PRIVACY:  All contact information you enter into your profile will be kept confidential.  It will not be shared or distributed.  The site administrator will use email addresses to contact you and send class-related announcements only.  Your contact information is private.  Your address and phone number cannot be seen by schoolmates unless you grant permission on your profile page.  Your email address is not viewable.  However, if you send a message to someone through their profile using the contact box at the bottom of the profile page, the classmate will see your email address so they can respond to you.

PASSWORD PROTECT:  You can check the "Profile Visibility" box at the bottom of the profile page to limit only registered classmates access to your personal profile.  A padlock icon will then appear next to your name in the profile list.  If this option is selected, any registered schoolmate who is logged in will be able to view all schoolmate profiles, but search engines and the general public will be blocked from accessing profile pages.

Forgotten Password:  If you forget your password, just click on the "Forgot Password?" retrieval feature in the login feature, and it will be emailed to you.

Remember Me:  If you click on "Remember Me" at your log in, you will not need to log in the next time you go to the site.  You can log in from computers other than your home computer, but then you will need to enter your password.

Change of email or street address:  When your contact information changes, please update your profile--we do not want to lose you!  We keep our Schoolmate list current by downloading contact information from this web site.

Subscribe:  Keep up to date by "subscribing" to other schoolmate profiles.  You will receive an email when they update their pages.

UPLOAD PHOTOS:  To upload a single photo, it is easier to first have the image ready on your computer desktop and log in from the Home Page.  You can use .jpg or .gif as the most common image formats, but not .tiff.  Click on the "Edit/Upload Photos" tab.  The photos for (your name) page will appear and you will see a box "Upload New Photo".  Click on it and you will be at the upload page.  Click on the box "Add Files".  A dialog box with a list of images on your desktop will appear.  Hightlight the picture you want to add.  Click the "Upload" button to add the picture to your photos.  You will now be back at the page "Photos for (your name)".  If you are uploading multiple photos, you'll next need to sort them in order of how you want them displayed.  Add descriptions by using the "Caption" option.  If you want to choose one of your pictures to be your Master Photo, click in the Master Photo circle for that picture.  Your Master Photo will appear in your emails and forum posts.  Important:  Click  the "SAVE CHANGES" button at the bottom of the page!  Now you can go to your Profile page and look for your picture and caption.  Delete photos using "Delete" box above the photo.  Shortcut for multiple pictures:  If you are uploading several pictures that are in different folders, you can copy them to your desktop, then delete them later.  Make sure you COPY, not move, your pictures, so you won't delete the originals.

Important:  Please add (or allow) the following email address to your "Safe Senders" list so that your spam blocker will allow emails through from your classmates:  postmaster@classcreator.net.

In order to ensure you receive important messages from our class web site, as well as messages sent directly to you from other Classmates, it's important you whitelist the email address noreply@classcreator.net, (that's a .net, not a .com).

What is whitelisting?  Whitelisting simply means you are telling your email program to accept all emails coming from our class web site and our Classmates.  The Technique for Whitelisting varies by email program, but generally you will see the term "Whitelist", "Safe List", or "Safe Sender's List."  This is where you want to be sure you have added the email address noreply@classcreator.net.

Class Creator, the system that helps us operate our class web site, uses the address noreply@classcreator.net when sending out email messages.  Be assured that all emails sent through our site are valid -- you will not receive spam email.  Whitelisting noreply@classcreator.net is the single most important thing you can do to ensure you don't miss anything happening on our site or miss receiving emails from your fellos Classmates.  Stop and take a moment to whitelist noreply@classcreator.net right now, and ensure you stay connected.
