Creating/posting photo albums
Click the links below—or scroll down—to see answers to commonly asked questions about creating photo albums and posting photos.
How do I create a profile photo album?
No software download is necessary to add photos to albums on Classmates. If you can find the photos on your computer, posting them should be just as easy.
To create a photo album on your profile:
- Near the top of any Classmates page, click the Profile tab.
- On the next page, click the photos tab.
- Under Your Photo Albums, click
Create album.
- In the Photos popover, type a title and description for your album and click CONTINUE.
- In the next popover pane, click BROWSE to find photos on your computer.
-
- Choose the photo(s) you'd like to put in your album. (You can upload a single photo or as many as you'd like at once—hold down your CTRL or Apple key and
click each photo you want to upload.)
- Click Open to upload your photo(s).
- Type a title and description for your photo(s) and click SAVE.
In the next popover pane, you can choose to add more photos or view your new album. You can always add or remove photos later—and change the titles and descriptions
of individual photos or the album itself. You can also delete any album you create.

Why can't I add a photo to someone else's photo album?
You cannot add photos to albums that appear on another member's Personal Albums page; other members can't add photos to yours, either. Any member, though,
can post comments on individual photos in anyone else's personal albums.
Can I add photos to a community photo album?
You can add photos to any album in any Classmates community, including your school and college classes, and events you've been invited to. While you don't need to join schools,
colleges, workplaces, or military assignments to contribute to their albums, you must join a group before adding photos to its album.
No software download is necessary to upload photos to Classmates. If you can find the photos on your computer, posting them should be easy.
To add photos to an album in one of your communities:
- Under Your Communities on the left side of any page, click a community name.
- On the next page, click the photo albums tab.
- Find the album you'd like to contribute to under Community Photo Albums, or click Event Photo Albums to find an event album.
- Click add photos below the album's description. (If this link doesn't appear below an event album, you haven't been invited and can't contribute photos.)
- In the Photos popover, click BROWSE to find photos on your computer.

How do I add photos to my school/college home page logo albums?
Each school and college community has a logo album at the top of every associated page, including individual class pages. The most recently added photo is displayed as the
album's cover.
To add photos to your school or college logo album:

- Just below the home tab, click the logo album image.

- Type a title and description for your photo(s) and click SAVE.

If I upload multiple photos, what order will they appear in?
When you add multiple photos to a photo album at one time, your photos will appear in the album in the order you selected them for upload. The first photo you selected will appear as
the first photo you add to the album.
If you want to change the order of the photos you've already added to an album, you'll have to delete older photos and add them again to get them into the order you like. It's easiest
to choose the order you want photos to appear in before uploading them to your album.
Can I change the thumbnail/cover photo on my album?
When you create an album and add photos to it, the cover (the thumbnail image that appears by the album's title) will be the first photo you upload to the album. If you delete that
photo later, the cover will display the next photo you added.
To change the cover of one of your photo albums, you must delete the photo that currently shows on the cover, and any others you added before the photo you want to appear on the
cover. If you want to keep those photos, you'll need to add them again.
Keep in mind that albums will display your photos in the order that they're uploaded; choosing your photos carefully before adding them can save you time later.
