Everything you need to know about setting up a profile to gain access to the rest of our page is on this page. If you have questions, please contact Jay Werth. jaywerth@jaywerth.com, 803-361-0084

2. PRIVACY NOTICE

All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter on this website will be kept confidential. The host of this website, ClassCreator.com, is a locally owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed.

Your contact information is private; classmates cannot see your street address, e-mail address, and phone number. Each classmate can limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during the profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line, your profile can be viewed by non-members such as your friends or family, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.

Finding your class website Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:

  • If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non-members.

 

Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way, you can contact classmates without sharing your private email address unless you choose to do so.

All class Email news is sent to you via this website: For those of you with spam blocking or email filtering capabilities, please add noreply@classcreator.net to your email account as a safe sender to ensure you receive email communications from us.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site, it may be removed by contacting Jay Werth at jaywerth@jaywerth.com or at 803-361-0084. This will end all communications to you from the Viroqua High School Class of 1970 unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

3. SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE

To access the pages that are password protected on this site, you must set up a profile by providing a minimum of your email address and a password.

To set up your profile, locate the "Classmate Profiles" link, locate your name, and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile.

Confidential information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. We collect mailing addresses if we need to contact you by snail mail or phone. Your information will never be given to other classmates without your permission.

We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site. It's also helpful to upload an additional "Now" photo and a "Then" photo. Classmates will enjoy seeing how you've changed!

If your name is not already on the site, but you were part of the Viroqua High School Class of 1970, contact us, and your name will be added.

Updates: If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up-to-date information. That way, you'll always be aware of what your classmates are up to!

Passwords:

Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be the high-security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually, the "remember me" will fail (for instance, when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!

If you forget your password, simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts and you don't remember the one you used to set up your account, contact Jay Werth at jaywerth@jaywerth.com or 803-361-0084.

4. "MISSING" CLASSMATES

The wonderful part about this site is that it came pre-setup by Class Creator. The site assembles a missing list for us based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles. The site will consider you "missing" until you have a profile.

Also, please note: We need your help to contact EVERY classmate. If you have information about any classmate, listed or not listed, please contact Jay Werth, at jaywerth@jaywerth.com or 803-361-0084.

5. COMMUNICATING WITH CLASSMATES

To contact a fellow classmate, simply use the email option at the top left of each Classmate's Profile page (located under Master Photo). This feature will allow open communication between Classmates while protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your email address or other personal information within a message written on our site, the site will not block you from doing so.

6. ADDING PICTURES TO YOUR PROFILE

Adding current pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a wonderful way to get to know people again. We've had reports of classmates who were routinely running into each other without knowing it because...well.... we've all changed a little over the years! :)

Filling in the photo slots at the top of your Profile:

  • Click "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
  • Roll your cursor over the Master Photo, Then, Now, or Yearbook photo silhouette (note you cannot upload a yearbook photo if one has already been provided)
  • Click "Select Photo" displayed in the upper right corner of the photo, then click the "Upload a New Photo" button.
  • Select the desired photo from your hard drive. You will then be given an opportunity to crop the photo for a perfect fit.

Adding large "Profile Gallery Images" to your Profile:

  • Clicked "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
  • Click the photo tab in the upper right corner of your Profile.
  • You will see any images previously uploaded here. Click the "Upload a New Photo" button to add more.
  • Click to select images you wish to display on your Profile. All images with a green check mark will display. Click again to not display, and the green check mark will disappear.
  • To add a caption under your images, roll over any image and select "Edit Details". Enter your caption and press save.
  • You can adjust the display order of your photos by simply dragging and dropping them into your chosen positions.
