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 assortment of people. You should do it by your age then they'd know when you were at school. Either way if you've not been you're missing out.
