The Details:
You will need to make your individual profile in order to access the password-protected pages on this site.  To make your own page, please click on Our Classmates or on the Our Classmates button at the upper left. 

Once you are there find your name and then click on it.  Follow the prompts to create your profile.  You must enter a valid email address.  The password that you enter during this process will be used as your login password. 

 

At this point, I will get an e-mail telling me that you have signed up.  I will then send a Verification message to you -- it might come in a few minutes or in a day or so, depending on if I'm in my office right then.  This e-mail will ask you to verify who you are by supplying some details about your Cheltenham experience.  You will need to send me a reply to this message, so that I can verify your identity and address.  This extra step may seem silly, but it ensures our privacy.  While it's not likely someone is going to to try to infiltrate our website, I'd like to be sure that the e-mail is truly coming from you.

 

Once you create a profile you will also be able to see the profiles of your fellow classmates, be able to contact other classmates, take part in the interactive forums, respond to surveys, and so forth. 

You have the option of password-protecting your personal profile.  This blocks the general public and search engines from accessing your profile details.  We recommend that you use this option.  On the "Edit Profile" page, it is called "Profile Visibility" and is in the checkboxes at the bottom of the page.

All contact information that you enter into this website is kept confidential.  It will not be shared or distributed -- with the exception being to share with other of our classmates or selected individuals for the express purpose of locating members of our class.  Your information is private.  Your address and phone number can not be seen by other classmates unless you grant permission on your profile.  When someone clicks on your name all they will see of your contact information is your city and state and whatever personal information you choose to put into your profile.  If they want to send a message to you, they do NOT see your e-mail address.  When they send a message to you, you do not see their e-mail address.  The system here at our website keeps things private, until YOU wish to share your information.

If you want to try this out, you can send a message to me, or request that I send a message to you.  You'll see how it works, and how your e-mail address is not disclosed unless you offer it.

If you are not receiving our e-mails, you will need to add our email address to your address book, and adjust your spam settings.  You'll want to "whitelist" (i.e. Approved Senders List) the e-mail address:  noreply@classcreator.net

We do not send spam mail of any kind to you -- we will only send messages that pertain to our class and to the Reunion.

Always check back with the Home Page.  That is where the main information and announcements can be found.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please write.

Enjoy the website!

I forgot my login information and/or password.  What should I do?

You login with the e-mail address you provided during your member account set up (include domain name, such as @hotmail.com).  If you have several e-mail addresses and cannot remember which one you used or if you no longer have access to that e-mail address, click on "Contact Us" and provide your new e-mail address.  I can make the change and then e-mail you a temporary password.  Once you've logged in using your new e-mail address and temporary password, change your password by clicking the "Change Your Password" link under the Member Functions menu on the home page.

If you remember your e-mail address but you forgot your password, click on the "Forgot password?" link right above the green "Log On" button, and the website will automatically e-mail your password to you within a few minutes. 

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

How do I set it so that I get notices when it's someone's birthday ?

Under MEMBER FUNCTIONS, click on "Notify Me"
Scroll down to Profile Subscriptions
Under the column of "Available Classmates" -- at the bottom of that column click on "Select All"
And then you will click on OK to confirm.

Scroll to the bottom.  There you can select to be notified if a classmate updates his or her profile, or when the classmate has a birthday.
The default is "Once Daily" which should work just fine.

If there are specific classmates who you do or do not wish to be notified about, you can select or deselect those individuals.

That's it !

Who has access to my "Classmate Profile" and personal contact information?

You can choose whether your "Classmate Profile" is publicly viewable on the website (e.g., by other classes, friends, and the general public) or restricted to registered Cheltenham High School 1970 Classmates only. If restricted, search engines and the general public will be blocked from accessing your Classmate Profile page. Click on the "Edit Profile" link under the Member Functions menu in the side column, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to make your choice. The Default is to have it hidden.

Your mailing address and phone number are NOT displayed.  The administrator has access to it so we can contact you for the Reunions, but no other classmate can see it.

Can I be notified if other Classmates update their "Classmate Profile"?

YES!  Click on "Classmate Profiles", then click on the name of the Classmate you'd like to keep track of.  Once he/she has registered, his/her profile will be displayed.  Scroll down to the bottom of his/her profile page, click on the box that says "Notify me whenever [Classmate's] profile is updated", and click on the "Notify Me" button.  You will be notified by e-mail.  You can also subscribe to multiple classmates by using the "Profile Subscriptions" link.

Does the public or other Classmates have access to my e-mail address?

No.  To protect your privacy, your work or home e-mail address is stored only within the website, so Classmates can send you a Message.  You can decide who you want to provide your own e-mail address to.  To check if you've received any new messages, click on the "Check Messages" under the Member Functions menu in the side column. 

What are examples of the e-mails that I may be sent?

You will be e-mailed information about new website features; details about upcoming class reunions, fundraisers, or events; general announcements about classmates; and other important news. 

Can I post my own photos or videos on the website?

Yes!  You can upload a current photo of yourself, your family, pets, vacations, old photos from days gone by, past reunions, etc. -- anything you want to share -- by clicking on "Edit/Upload Photos" under the Member Functions menu on the left.  There is no limit on the number of digital photos that you can store on your "Classmate Profile" page.  Each photo is automatically resized to fit on your Profile page.  You can also upload your own videos that you've posted to YouTube.com by clicking on the "Classmate Profiles" link, then following the instructions.  And yes, you can add, delete, or replace your own photos or videos at any time. 

How does the "Message Forum" work?

Click on "User Forums" above and you can chat with our fellow classmates when they login and read the "User Forums".  Post a response to a prior message or start your own topic of conversation by asking a question, re-living an old memory, or share your thoughts on life. 

  Will this site rent, sell, or in any way profit from having our Classmates' names, addresses, and personal information?  How does it make its money?

No.  We will not rent or sell any Classmate information or engage in any marketing or solicitation to Classmates.  All personal contact information is held strictly confidential.  We do not sell advertising on the website or display banner ads or pop-up windows.  Our website is owned by our Reunion Committee -- that's us.  If you'd like to contribute, you're welcome to do so.  This site, the previous Class of 1970 site and web pages, and the domain name www.cheltenhamhs.com have been owned and maintained by us -- the Class of 1970 -- since 1999.  If you have any questions about this, please contact Fred Weis directly.  If you receive any e-mail  that you think came from us that you do not want, please write.  We do not sent out unsolicited e-mail or spam.

Is there a connection between this site and the Cheltenham Alumni Association ?

There is no formal connection between us.  Here's a link to the Alumni Association.
Our site is exclusive to members of the Class of 1970.  A person must be verified and registered to join our website. 

What is the purpose of this website?

This site was originally created for the purpose of connecting with all the past students in order to have our Reunion.  However, since the site allows students to connect with one another thereby re-establishing old friendships, it has been decided that the site should serve a dual purpose.  So not only is the site just for the reunion but for anyone in the year group who justs wants to reconnect even if they are not going to the reunion.

Can I join the site even if I don't plan attend the reunion?

Yes. Even if you do not plan to attend the reunion, it is hoped that there are old friends on this site that you would like to reconnect to and for that purpose you can still join the site.

Can I volunteer to help with the reunion?

Yes. Volunteers are necessary to make sure that the Reunion is a success.
