If you are a First Time Visitor to this BHS '71 Website, or have questions regarding its use, please read this page:

This is the official and permanent website for Boardman High School Class of 1971 It is maintained by Jan Hazlett Garver.  It is completely free to our classmates! You'll never be asked to pay to make a profile or access other alumni profiles. At some point in the future, you may be given the option to donate to keep the site ad free with Class Creator, but his will be totally optional. 

To gain access to all the features of this website, you need to register and create your own personal password. Once you've accessed this website at www.classcreator.com/Boardman-Ohio-1971, find and click on your name in the "Classmate Profiles" section at the top of the Home Page (or if you don't see your name, click the blue "contact us", enter your information and request access). Be sure to "whitelist" (add) noreply@classcreator.net to your e-mail address book so messages from us will not be flagged as spam. If you want to receive an email if there's a new announcement made, or personal message left for you on the website, just check the first and last boxes under NOTIFY ME (left column).

PRIVACY NOTICE:  All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) entered into this website will be kept confidential.  It will not be shared or distributed.  Your contact information is private: your street address, e-mail address, and phone number cannot be seen by the classmates unless you grant permission on your Profile. When someone clicks on your name, the only contact information they will see is your city and state and whatever information about yourself you choose to put on your Profile. Unless you explicitly grant your permission, your email address is not visible, although an email can be sent to you using the contact box at the bottom of your Profile page. Note, however, if you send a message to someone through their Profile page, the Classmate will see your email address so that they can respond.

Having problems logging in?

Click the "forgot password" link aftering entering your email address, and you should get a system email with your 'real' password (check SPAM folder if not in your inbox).  75% of the time, that is the issue.  20% of the time, you have changed your email address and the site still has your old email address. If you remember the old one, log in with it and go to "edit contact info" to change it to your new email. 

For your information: If at anytime you forget your password and not be able to log on to the site, you must email me, as administrator. I will contact Class Creator to send you a reset link.  If you are still having problems, please Contact Us.

How to upload a photo:

1. Be sure you are logged in on the home page. In the links on the left side under MEMBER FUNCTIONS, click on the link: Edit/Upload Photos.
2. The Photo page will appear and you’ll see a gray box titled: Upload New photo. Click on this box and you will be at the Add Photo page.
3. The Add Photo page gives basic instructions for uploading your photos. There are 3 places on this page to make entries.
4. Sort: The sort number controls the order in which photos display on your page. By default your pictures will appear in the order you entered them, so this isn’t important for your first picture. But later if you want picture #5 to appear as #1, you will have to change the sort numbers on your pictures. If you delete a picture, the sort numbers for the remaining pictures do not change (e.g., if you delete picture #2 out of 4 pictures, you will show pictures #1, 3, and 4.)
   Caption: Caption is the description you write for your picture.
   Browse: This is the most important one, for this is how you find the picture on your computer and get it to appear on your page.
5. Your first picture will automatically be Sort Number 1.
6. Now click the Browse button. A list of folders on your computer will show up. Locate the folder that holds your picture. For most classmates this will be theMy Pictures folder located in the My Documents folder. When you have clicked through to your picture file, click the view button at the top to show icons as pictures. This makes it easier to find the specific picture you want to upload.
7. Select the picture you want to upload by clicking on it once, and then clickOpen at the bottom of the box.
8. Now you will be taken back to the Add Photo page and in the Upload Photobox you will see the path to your picture.
9. Enter the Caption for your picture in the box.
10. Click the SAVE CHANGES button.

Now go to your Profile page and look for your picture and caption.

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 original.
