    Good Points: Initially a totally brilliant idea for tracking down old friends, loved ones and colleagues... Oh, and it's free.


    Bad Points: Website keeps changing and not always for the best


    General comments: I find it impossible to keep track of the format to the website. When I first joined it was great fun and relatively easy to look up old pals profiles.
    I'm not the best person in the world when it comes to using the internet but it seems increasingly difficult to look for people and I find it frustrating when I know I have looked up there profile in the past.
    They also use to show the dates when individuals signed up or added information to their profiles.
    It is free and I am sure that some time in the future they will up date the website again and I will find it less frustrating to use, but for now I'm afraid it's thumbs down.

    I personally find it so difficult to use the site that it's actually not worth bothering for me. Over the last year or two I regularly get 'Error' messages if I try and view more than one page of classmates. Trying to get back from each individual photo page can take dozens of clicks.

    The options for searching via county or country don't work so you can only search for schools in England. I was schooled in Wales.

    It's a complete waste of time for me therefore I do not recommend friendsreunite ...

    When trying to change my profile on FriendsReunited.com I was sent straight to someone else's profile. After several weeks of this I can at last access my own profile.

    Still trying to email a friend but when I click on her profile to send an email it gets sent to someone else with my friend's first name but a different surname.

    Not user friendly anymore for me. I can't seem to alter anything on my profile page, I spend ages thinking of what to say about myself only to click the 'save' button and it never appears. I was unable to enter the website for 4 days including over a weekend period, I find it so frustrating. I emailed them for 4 days about this and other problems and didn't get a reply until the 5th day. They said it could be my computer by telling me that my cookies settings weren't enabled when they did finall ...

    I recommend Friends Reunited but my final comment is this website should make the signing in a bit easier and bring the free chats site back.

    I liked at first, but now retired can no longer afford this amount of money. I have been given the phone number to cancel, but to no avail, tried to cancel on the web, again to no avail. If anyone knows how to contact them please let me know.

    Not good at unsubscribing to old people.

    It seems a no go area. You answer all the boxes and get nowhere. The names that you get seem to be obsolete members so what good are they. Just seems to be after your money.

    I am a bit disappointed with Friends Reunited. I am a fully paid up member and can't send or recieve messages. Tells me I have a message but I can't look at it.

    Friends Reunited is a top website. It's great to be able to find out what everyone you went to school with is up to now. Admittedly most people seem to only update their profile on it every couple of years but I guess that's enough to find out where peoples lives are heading. One thing I would change though, you are grouped on the year you left school, as some people left in the middle of their schooling, some after 5th year and others at the end of sixth form you get a bit of a jumbled assortme ...

    We all know the routine of Friends Reunited - "Britain's favourite website" as it is sometimes referred to. I joined and subscribed in the early days and was quite enthusiastic at first, although brief 'hellos' to people usually end at that point (which maybe is a blessing!).

    However, it is a valuable source of school photos and must be a boon to researchers into family histories, tracing lost relatives etc.

    I think we also need to realise that Friends Reunited is a database and is open to ...
