Sincere apologies to any members who received a St. Andrew’s Day email from us yesterday. A small technical hitch meant a few people were sent this accidentally.
Hope you enjoyed St. Andrew’s Day, and sorry again for the inconvenience,

Recently, we’ve completely redeveloped the Photos & Videos section on Friends Reunited.
Swing by your profile and you’ll notice some huge improvements, with some great new features designed to make sharing and uploading photos easier and more fun.
Go to My Photos & Videos >>
Browsing and finding a photo you’ve added is now much easier. Just pick the album you want, and use the blue left or right arrows to scroll through the photos one by one. You can also use the scroll bar below to navigate through the whole album more quickly.
The top panel has some new icons, allowing you to zoom in, delete, add a tag, or comment on each photo. And don’t forget, you can share your albums with anyone, just chose a username here and email your profile to friends.
Upload a new photo here >>

Give it a try and let us know what you think by commenting below,

Today, we launched a brand new design for the site navigation. We think it looks a lot smarter, and hopefully you will too.
The main navigation is now colour coded, splitting up the different areas of the site and making it easier to tell where you are. We’ve also neatened up the tabs linking to Genes Reunited and Friends Reunited Dating, to give them a nice new look.
This new navigation is the first step towards a completely revamped design, which we hope to roll out in the coming months.

We love hearing you’re feedback, so share your opinion on the new design by commenting on this post below.
Hope you enjoy the changes,

Here’s a great photograph from another fantastic Friends Reunited success story from down under.
Ben and Natalie were high school sweethearts from Bendigo, Victoria. They were separated when Ben’s family moved away to Colac but reunited, 10 years later, after getting back in touch on Friends Reunited.

If you’ve had a special experience using the site that you’d like to share, email press@friendsreunited.com

We’ve just launched a brand new Reunion Organiser on Friends Reunited, to make it easier to get back together with your old classmates.
Organising a reunion is now really quick and simple – but what’s more – it’s now completely free!
To try the new Reunion Organiser, visit your school here and click on the reunion tab.

Improvements to the new Reunion Organiser include:
• A new member list, listing who‘s invited and who‘s attending
• An “organiser update” feature, allowing the event organiser to update invitees if plans change
• A devoted message board, where you can chat to your old friends and discuss the upcoming event
Visit your school to get started >>
Good luck setting up a reunion of your own!
