Use "Request new password" to have a new TIME-SENSITIVE login link sent to your email on record - AND CHECK YOUR SPAM/JUNK FOLDER!. If you no longer have access to the email account you used when you registered, or believe you may have mis-typed your email address, contact a User Admin or the Webmaster - DO NOT CREATE ANOTHER ACCOUNT!

FIRST - check the Directory to confirm that you indeed have an approved account. If you applied for an account recently and are not listed, please be patient as approvals are performed by volunteers. A common misconception of new members (registration applicants) is that they created a password when they registered - NOT TRUE! - first-time logins are ONLY made via the time-sensitive link sent in your welcome/approval email.

If you are listed in the Directory but either have forgotten your password or your login link expired before using it, request a new password. When you receive your new login link, use it and THEN CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AND WRITE IT DOWN. A good practice is to edit the email that contains your login link to include your password - if no one else has access to your email account.

A short time after purchasing any downloadable file product, to keep our website costs low, you'll actually receive a file (under the "Files" tab at "My account") that will be named "link_to_xxx.txt" (where "xxx" = product name). That file will have the download URL link(s) to the file(s) that you purchased.

Downloadable files can get quite large - especially video files. To store them on our own website could require enormous amounts of both disk space and bandwidth which would drive our costs up dramatically. Additionally, especially with video files, the "product" may consist of multiple files as there is a limit to the size of individual files - thereby requiring the download of more than one file to get the complete product.

Go to "My account/Edit/Account" - look for "Location" area - click the location picker map. That places a marker pin which can be as accurate or in-accurate as you want it to be (for privacy). Use the zoom-in and zoom-out controls ("+" & "-" buttons), change type of map, drag map itself or drag the pin to get the pin exactly where you want it to be. Save when finished, or save after making any other changes to your account.

Note that while your pin will be visible to any visitor to our site, only logged-in members of our site will see a pop-up information window that links to your profile upon clicking your pin.

Without getting too technical, both (Mozilla) FireFox and (Google) Chrome can load web site pages faster and take advantage of more features that are offered on our site than Internet Explorer. One of the reasons is that they aren't trying to do "all things for all people".

We strongly recommend using one or the other when visiting our web site - or try both of them and see which one you like better - you can always uninstall either.

Short answer - You don't!
But - to see All of the site, contribute content, view members, yearbooks (if any), communicate with members, buy products, earn points - *and to Sign-up for Reunion Events* - you'll need to register.

Although it's mainly to protect member data (as yours will be), maintaining a "Semi-private" site also eliminates spammers joining just to post "junk".

A "side" benefit of registering is for "uninterested" classmates. Registering removes your name from the missing or "lost" list, so other classmates will stop trying to "find" you.

Firstly - those doing the "approving" (User Admins) are volunteers, and we can use more help, so pitch in and speed things up!.

Secondly - maintaining a "Semi-private" site screens out spammers. If there wasn't a screening process, anyone with a computer and an internet connection could join.

For attendee lists, possible name tag usage and especially signup limits, as unknown "visitors" can't be counted toward a signup limit, if any.
