Pony Request: Alumni as contact

August 30, 2008 10:40 AM

There is no classmate or co-alumni sort of option on the contact form.

The recent Worst Colleges thread prompted me to make contacts of other Hampshire folk like myself. These are people I've never met, but with whom I share an institutional history. There is no classmate or co-alumni sort of option on the contact form. Can one be created, or do mods have suggestions on the most appropriate way to frame the contacting?

Thanks.

XFN Feedback page, to suggest the additional relationships. Personally, I'd use the acquaintance and/or colleague classification. 'Colleague' is only a few letters off from 'college' anyway.

Just out of curiosity: what thread was this?

This one, I guess. There's a search box in the top right corner.

I searched for "worst college" and it didn't come up.

OK, sorry, maybe my comment sounded snarky. It wasn't intended to. If you go on the front page and search "worst college" it should. It did for me, at least.

Thanks, carsonb! I get a page load error at the XFN link, but I'll try again later.
