Public Editing Instructions

This page describes procedures for creating and correcting personal directory listings. This information is effective August 3, 2006.

Your browser can open this frame in its own window if you wish to print these instructions. Some browsers will allow you to print the frame directly.

All instructions assume you begin at the Index page of the directory. Near the top of the page find the Directory Task Bar; it contains a search feature, next to which is a link labeled Index.

Create a Listing | Edit a Listing | Sign In/Out |

Creating a Listing

Click Join at far right. A new page will open with the first of two short forms.

Step 1: Identity and Access

The first section of the form will ask for your class year, gender and name and for your contact data. The email address entered here will be used by a contact form in the directory, which will not display or otherwise reveal the address. Your other contact data are held confidential and are not shared with third parties. You will be asked to create a unique login name (user identifier) and a password, both of which you should record for future editing access.

Step 2: Listing Data

If you have a web site type its address (URL, starting http://); it will appear linked on the site. You may add a comment or descriptive paragraph or slogan..., up to 255 characters.

Type your address in the bottom block. We may use it to send you information about the organization or to facilitate reunion planning; it will not be displayed on the site or released to third parties.

Verify Your Data

The system will now display the published and unpublished data you have provided. If it is correct, click Continue and the system will create your listing.

You will soon receive an email message confirming the listing; please save that message, and record your login name and password. The editor will also be notified. Your listing will be available immediately; to see it, go to your class in the directory; click your name to see the detail page.

Editing a Listing

Go to the Index page of the Directory. Find and click the Sign In link above the Directory; the system will display a sign-in form. Type your login name (user name/identifier) and password and submit the form.

Assuming you typed the correct information the system will respond with the editing form. Overtype any data you wish to change, scroll to the bottom of the form and click Save Changes. The next visitor to the directory will see your updated information. You may preview by clicking View My Listing on the Directory Task Bar.

Access to System Features

When you sign into the system, you may edit your personal information and comment on articles in the News Views.

Paid subscribers receive additional services and early access to new features as we add them. Subscribers are also eligible to participate in elections and to serve on the board of directors. See the News for updates and descriptions of new features.

As always we are interested in your ideas about new features you might like to see on the site. Send your comments to the editor.

Sign Out

When you are satisfied you may click Sign Out or choose any other feature from the menus. We recommend that you sign out if you are using a public or otherwise shared computer. The system will normally terminate your session when you close your browser, but we cannot guarantee that.
