| Why does the number of registered alumni go down sometimes? |
| The reason you might see the number of registered alumni go down or the number of overall alumni listed on the site go down is because sometimes people will not register under their name that is already listed or they will register twice. Usually those that register twice either forget that they are already registered or don't read the list of names that matched theirs when they tried to registered. It is for this reason that we periodically audit the alumni database and remove any duplicate alumni entries. |

| How does 'Remember Me' work? |
| The 'Remember Me' function will allow you to visit the site without having to log in each time. This requires the site to write a cookie to your browser that identifies you to the site so that you will be recognized without logging in. The only requirement for this to work is that you visit the site from the same computer each time otherwise you will need to log in. |

| How do I find an old classmate? |
| There are several ways to find classmates. To find classmates that might be registered you can click on the 'New Alumni' link on the left to view a list of all registered alumni or you can select the graduating year from the left to view either the registered alumni or the entire class list for that class. Not all classes have everyone listed yet but we're trying to get all of the names. |

| I'm concerned about spam. Is my email address safe? |
| Email privacy is an important issue and one I don't take lightly. When you register you can elect to keep your email address private. This will prevent anyone from viewing it. When you make it open to the public I've added another layer of security in that only those alumni who are registered AND logged in can view an email address on an alumni profile. I DO NOT and WILL NOT ever sell the email addresses (or any other personal info) from this site. |
| Back to Top |
| Who can view my information? |
| All information that you enter in your profile is open to other registered users (who are logged in) with the following exceptions. If you choose to make your email address public it can still only be viewed by those registered alumni who are logged in at the time. Any information that is posted by you in the Dog Pound message board also can only be viewed by registered alumni. The general public can see your page but not any of your submitted information. |

| How does the Facebook 'Like' function work? Is my information safe? |
| Here's how the Facebook 'Like' function works. Say a fellow registered alumni 'Likes' your profile page which then appears on their Facebook wall for their friends to see. If one of their FB friends clicks on the link back to your profile they will only see your name (and not your posted profile information) just as anyone coming into the site from a search engine or other link. Only registered alumni can see your information. That privacy structure has not changed. |

| If I elect to keep my email address private why should I enter it then? |
| Even though you make elect to keep your email address private it is still required to register. The primary reason for this requirement is to help me validate that the people signing up are who they say they are. Anyone can enter a fake email address but by requiring a legitimate one I can make sure that the site is being used the way I intended to and that no malcontent can get on the site and disrupt things. It is also required to so that I may, once a month, send out a newsletter letting everyone know about enhancements to the site. |

| Does this site use cookies? |
| This site does use cookies. Most sites on the web today do. The primary use of cookies on this site is for the 'Remember Me' function discussed above. I also use cookies for security reasons to make sure that each alumni is entered by a legitimate person and not someone registering for some one else and putting in bad information. It's an unfortunate nature of the web but one you have to look out for. |

| Can I post 'Now' pictures to my profile? |
| Each alumni can upload up to 10 'Now' photos to go along with their profile. A donation of $20 will allow you to upload up to 20 'Now' photos as a time. Each photo can have it's own caption as well. If you wish to change out your photos you can simply delete an old one and upload something new. All photos should be no wider than 450px and must be in jpg format. If your photos are larger than 450px wide then they will be resized automatically prior to posting. |
| Back to Top |
| How do I post my 'Then' picture? |
| The 'Then' photo is reserved for your senior yearbook photo. You can post one 'Then' photo. All 'Then' photos should be no wider than 92px and in jpg format. All photos uploaded larger than 92px wide will be automatically resized prior to posting. |

| How do I post reunion information for my class? |
| Each class can have one person be designated as the reunion contact for their year. That person can then post information regarding their reunion which will then appear on the home page. If you are the class reunion organizer for your class and someone else has already designated themselves as the reunion contact and you wish to dispute it you can email me and I will help facilitate a resolution if necessary. |

| How do I find out about my upcoming class reunion? |

| I have a loved one who graduated from my high school and I would like to post information about them on the site. How do I do that? |
| If you know of a classmate who has passed away please let me know so that I can mark them as deceased on the site. If you have information regarding an alumni whom you're related to that has passed away you may email me their information and I will post it for you. |

| How do the private messages work? |
| Once registered and logged into the site you can send a private message to any other registered alumni whether you attended the same school or not. Just visit an alumni profile page and click on 'Send Private Message' under the photo section on the right side. This will allow you to send a private message. The recipient will then receive an email notifying them that a private message is waiting for them on the site. They will then visit the site and view the message. The communication is 100% secure and the contents of the private messages never pass through email. |

| I got an email saying I have a private message. How do I retrieve this message? |
| Log into the site and visit your own profile page. Click on the 'Private Messages' tab in your main content. This will show you all messages in your mailbox. It will show you what date it was sent, who sent it, the message subject and give you the ability to delete it. Simply click on the message subject to view the message. A new, small window will pop up showing the full message and you will have a place where you can reply to the recipient. |
