Does Secret Leeds have a category where I can post the names of friends I had in the past and lost touch with, all from Leeds of course?

Yeah as PM is not an option on here then it would be a nightmare.Friends reunited is a dedicated site,usually any one looking of old friends will go there.

Tried Friends Reunited. Doesnt seem any facility to enter a persons name which all I want to do. Then, if anyone knows of their whereabouts they can pass on my email address. No chattting like a chatrrrom/ Purely a 'Do you know' question.

Tried is Chrism but not what I'm loooking for. Mine is simply a 'Do you know' question. I don't want to turn the site into anything it's not designed for; I sincerely hope I haven't annoyed anyone.
