(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - On your website I see a "Find A Classmate" tab and a "Find Old Friends" link with a "Search Yearbooks" link, but all three of these are shaded gray and will not allow me to click on them. What am I doing wrong? How do I access these pages? And if I do access them, is there a fee? I sent you an e-mail earlier today, but have not received a response.
Thanks,
Diane
