Can I create a document that I or any of my co-administrators can change, like a Wiki editme type page? Specifically, we want to keep a running record of attempted contacts of classmates without overlapping efforts.

You could use Google Docs. Or you could create a custom page and then edit the page. Or you could use the ADMIN FORUMS and create a forum. Any other ideas?

I think you covered the options. I have problems with Google docs and seem to remain confused. I recommend a custom page. I think the photo gallery might work here? Thanks for the idea, Lisa. We have been doing this record keeping manually thru email. Margaret

Lisa, I will need to look at Wiki editme. Thanks for noting that. (Added after originally posting this reply: Wiki editme: Has a 30-day free trial. I'm not interested in subscriptions. I stopped reading when I read that. My next thought would be to look at privacy, as with any site online.) Kyle and all... Email the class has a record of all emails sent. However, I foresee it not being an easy reference tool. A spreadsheet specifically for this by classmate name with columns for 1st Contact, 2nd Contact and so on may work best. You may wish to split the columns into:
Now, I might like to have that! Kyle is right in suggesting Google docs. That is the easiest, no cost way to work on a group project... unless someone has another suggestion. The ADMIN FORUMS on each site: I believe in using this tool. However, I do not believe this is the best way track contact efforts. Otherwise, I hope many are using this tool. It is also good to save text you've removed and may wish to use at a later date. Good luck, Lisa. Let us know what you choose to do.

Before we got on Class Creator, we used Windows Live for an Excel Document that an authorized committee member could access and make changes to classmates data that we used for reunions. The changes could be tracked as well.

Lisa, My daughter was telling me how she is communicating and sharing info with the HOA she manages. When she mentioned a 'cloud' I might want to look into, I thought "I've seen that somewhere.' My apologies for not thinking of this earlier. It is DROPBOX. You can read about it on John C's site www.reunionwebcoach.com If anyone else has experience with DROPBOX, I am very interested in what you have to share. Thanks!

Is there a way to manage the admins, as we manage the classmates? We have a class of over 400, and as I am allowing the admins various capability, I don't want to overwhelm them or cause grief for the site. But making changes to the admins properties, requires scrolling thru pages and pages of classmates to find the admins (which are marked), (so I can see who has access to Forums, and who may not) but if there was a separate page just showing the admins. For example having been to Gwen's TAP on Admin Forums, I realized I am getting a lot of comments back from our survey (we asked for "any other comments or suggestions") and I want to respond, and others may want to as well, so I'm suggesting to the Admins that any time we do comment, to put a note in the Admin forum, so we know that someone DID respond - not precluding other comments, but also so the classmate doesn't get multiple repeated - or conflicting answers from Admins. I assume there is no way to CC (carbon copy - you all remember carbon paper, yes) Admins or anyone else, when writing a classmate? Did I cover enough in one posting ??

Dick, I set up a page for you at http://www.hhs63.com/class_gallery.cfm?gallery_id=22909 which has links to the Details management pages for all admins on your site.

Thanks Eric - I saw that...I can see the ADMINS when I go to Edit site pages - that's the only place I see it - and that's OK, as it was a temp fix for me - appreciate it. I continued what I think maybe should have been this thread elsewhere on another post about Admin Forums. It was about trying to force the posting of info on the Admin Forums to generate notices to all the Admins...then they can decide if they want to keep subscribed to it or not...but I noticed that I was posting info there, and no one was responding...so I had to manually go in and email all the admins about it...which seemed silly

Lisa, You have a much bigger class than ours and a beautiful site! What we do for classmates who have not joined is annotate any contact attempts in the Admin Notes for that classmate. The advantages of this approach are you have the attempted contact history right there on that classmate's profile page and any admin can update it. The disadvantage is you don't have a spreadsheet where all contact attempts are visible at a glance. Even if you use a spreadsheet, I'd still put the attempts in Admin Notes under the individual's name. To access Admin Notes: Admin Functions/Edit Site Pages/Classmate Profiles/Edit Page/Edit Details for the specified classmate.

I created a Admin Forum "50 by 50" for two of my co-admin to track and edit to the original message. They are not seeing an edit button to do that. This is what I have checked for them to do. Hope this is possible. Any other ideas if not?

Scott, I thought I missed something all these years. Admin Functions > Manage Classmates takes you to the list of classmates. I wondered what I had missed. Nothing. Oh well.

Karen, I can not see your Admin Forums so I cannot see the table you speak of. I believe you are wanting your admin to edit a table you made. I do not believe another admin can edit a post you made. I think this is something Marla and I recently discovered. I realize you want to track the members you receive during the 50 by 50 blitz. Why not have a start # (either found or missing) and then simply do the math each week or day. Oh... that would be those who logged in only... not all found. Okay, how about this... Hope this helps.

And IF you have more than one admin working on this, let them make their own posts... just follow in numbers. WAIT. IF the(se) admin(s) have access to EDIT PAGES, just copy your table over to a page, password protect it but do NOT make it active. This would accomplish the task they way you set out to do so. Sorry, I'm watching my Chicago Bears take a beating by the Carolina Panthers. My attention should not be divided.
