How do I add myself to my school(s)?

If you're already a member, just login and click on "Join Another School" on your profile page. If you are not yet a member, you can join here. If you wish to join a second school, just repeat this process.

How do I add a photo to my profile?

First login to the site. Once you are logged in click the "Add Photo" link underneath question mark box. Select the location of the image file off your computer using the browse button. Make sure the image is in the .jpg format. Then click the "Add My Picture" button.

How do I login?

To log into your account, click here. You will see a member login form asking for your email and password. Once you fill this out you should be taken to your profile page. Some very old browsers do not support cookies; without cookies, you will be unable to login and use many of sites's features.

I still can't login.

We use cookies to maintain your session while using the site.

Your browser must be set to accept cookies in order for many parts of the site to work. Cookies are simply little files that enable websites to work properly. For instance, when navigating from page to page, the cookie tells the website that you are the one navigating, so you don't have to login to view each and every page! The cookie is safe and cannot send the website any other personal information.

Attention AOL Users: If you use AOL you might have problems logging in. One work around is to minimize AOL after you have connected and then launch internet explorer (the blue e on your desktop) or your web browser of choice. The source of the problem are the proxy servers that AOL use. Each time you request a page from our server AOL may use a different proxy server. Our website thinks you are another user when you access the site via a different proxy server and your session gets restarted. (ie. you are logged out).

If you are accepting cookies and are still having troubles logging in, it may be due to the servers that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) uses. Cache servers and proxy servers can sometimes block cookies.

Another possible problem is that you are using an old version of Internet Explorer. Some older versions of IE have a bug in them that will cause our login code to fail. Please update to the latest version of IE here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp or if you don't like IE try out Mozilla, which can be found here: http://www.mozilla.org/

I forgot my password! What do I do?

Use this form and a new password will be emailed to you.

There are no grads listed in my school yet. What do I do?

First, add yourself. Second, tell everyone you know about the site and more will sign up.

How do I verify my email address?

When you joined the site (and if you used a valid email address) we would have sent you a welcome email. In this email are instructions on how to verify your email address. This step helps to keep the quality of the profiles on the site good and helps prevent spam email from being sent to you. If you missed this first email you can have it requested again using this link here. Please make sure you have a valid email address in your profile or this email will go nowhere.

How do I list myself as a staff member?

Log into the site. Once logged in, you'll be on your profile page. Find the school you want to edit and click the "edit/remove" link beside it. Check the box that says "staff."
