Reading the instructions, it says the default questions include telephone number.. I don't see a place where they enter their number. I tried to enter a question so they could fill in their telephone or cell phone number.. But, I either get a little round dot or a large comment box.. No area to put a number. Thanks Just a question and comment. Why aren't you taking payments over the internet??? Sales for our reunion next month..went the thru the roof because of using the payment option ie: check & credit card option thru CC. (btw...the credit card option is the most way our classmates are paying for the reunion. Check sales are almost nil). Our tickets sales are over $12,000 (this includes website & Domain name donations, Add'l Memory Book and reunion tickets sales). And we still our collecting money,out deadline for tickets sales are July 30th...90% are in credit card sales. And the record keeping is soooo easy...plus the Reunion Committee has saved a ton of money on postage costs..we send out 1 mailing so far to about 130 people who we had addresses, some included good addresses and requests for flyers. 10% came back due to bad addresses and out of 120 assuming good addresses & requests, we got a 10% response rate. I would never try to plan another reunion w/o using the order system...even our puter challenged alumni...luv the site!!! You might want to re-consider!!! FYI....I have a multi-yr site..with about 1700 classmates in the database, so far we have 15% active plus have found some who don't have access to the internet..or no puters. Out of the 1700...we have about 5% deceased. CC ROCKS!!!
