These are FAQs pertaining to this site.  (You are welcome to highlight and print this information.)

This is my first visit to the website.  How do I log in?

Please click on "Missing Classmates" on side column, then click on YOUR Name to set up a FREE member account.  Provide your email address, select a password (which you can change at any time), and tell us about your life since Balboa High School.  Add your married name, if applicable, photos, etc.

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

You login with the email address you provided during your member account setup (including domain name, such as @hotmail.com).  If you have several email addresses and cannot remember which one you used or, if you no longer have access to that email address, click on "Contact Us" on side column and provide your new email address.  Your website administrator will make the change and then email you a temporary password.  Once you have logged in using your new email address and temporary password, change your password by clicking the "Change Your Password" link under the Member Functions menu on side column.

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

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 Balboa High School 1968 classmates only.  If restricted, search engines and the general public will be blocked from accessing your Classmate Profile page.  For security reasons, only the City and State/Country where you live will be listed.  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.

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

YES!  Click on "Classmate Profiles" on side column, then click on the name(s) of the Classmate(s) you would 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 "Notfiy Me" button.  You will be notified by email.  You can also subscribe to mulitple classmates by using the "Profile Subscriptions" link.

Does the public or do other Classmates have acces to my email address?

No.  To protect your privacy, your email address is stored only within the website, so Classmates can send you a message.  You can decide who you want to provide your own email address to.  To check to see if you have received any new messages, click on the "Check Messages" under the Member Functions menu in the side column.

What are examples of the emails that I may be sent?

You may receive email about new website features, details about upcoming reunions, 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(s) 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 column.  There is no limit on the number of digital photos that you can store on your "Classmate Profile" page.  You can also upload your own videos that you've posted to YouTube.com by clickin 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.

NOTE:  Please use discretion when posting photos or videos.  Any material considered to be offensive or in poor taste will be removed and, in certain cases, you will be blocked from the site.

What is the purpose of this website?

This site was originally created for the purpose of connecting with our Balboa High School Class of 1968 classmates in preparation for our 45th Class Reunion.  However, since the site allows classmates to connect with one another thereby re-establishing friendships, it has been decided that the site should serve a dual purpose.  So, not only is the site for our reunions, it is for anyone in our group who want to reconnect even if they are not planning to attend a reunion.

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

No. Our website is owned by our Reunion Committee - not by Class Creator.  All personal contact information is held strictly confidential.  Class Creator does not rent or sell any Classmate information or engage in any marketing or solicitation to Classmates.    Class Creator does not sell advertising on the website or display banner ads or pop-up windows.  Class Creator sells subscriptions in increments of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years (we currently have a one year subscription).  It does sell domain name registrations to Classes through its ClassNames.net subsidiary for $19 per year, but using that service is optional.
