You may notice an announcement in the header on the front page about trying out yuku. yuku is the future of EZBoard, and eventually all EZB forums will be yuku forums, so eventually you're going have to make the switch to yuku. Just a heads up about it -- I tried clicking that link in the header, and I got a message that said I was already imported and just needed to login. I logged in with my current info and got a registration page with a message that that user name was already in use on EZB and reserved! Not to worry, though. I used the link to contact support and within 5 minutes they had me imported to yuku. So, don't be afraid to check it out. The whole profile thing is a bit more extensive than what you get here at EZB, so you'll have some new toys to play with. The only thing is this: If you have a problem with it, don't ask for help here because right now Skip and I are just as clueless as you!

Thanks for the heads up. If there's no imediate rush, then I'll wait until some of the bugs have been worked out before using it. I ain't the brightest nail in the keg when it comes to caputers.

You have some time Stan. EZB isn't planning on making the move until yuku is a stable platform. EZB says this should take place around the end of 2006.

Despite assurances from on high or whoever ordains these changes I still hope this doesn't become a usual "better the devil you know".......... deal.

I tried it and the deeper I got into it I began to ask myself if this was useful or just my idle curiosity. Since I knew I was snooping, I back out. I can wait until I understand what this is all about.

Exactly!! I already have all the inormation about myself that I want posted right here where others of the brotherhood can get it if needed. The rest can go hang for all that I care. If I can't control what appears when this transition is made it wiil be the straw that broke, etc. At that point I will exercise an option that too many seem to have forgotten we have ...... I'll just simply drop out. I am already having to log back in far too many times to check the no thanks block at their attepts to buy something or sign up for some "service". Another way to gather more sales pitches and soliciters is the last damned thing I want or need, and if they say that is the only way I can use the board that's their option. In such case my option is listed above

Sheesh! As Bart would say, "Don't have a cow, dudes!" It's not a requirement to fill out a profile! Once you log in, everything you've already put into your profile here is already exported over there; however, there are some extra features to play with if you choose to such as a photo gallery you can upload to, a blog feature, etc. For Christ's sake, nobody is going to twist your arm to fill out a freakin' profile! As for the shift that EZBoard forums will make to yuku, we don't get a say unless we want to just say screw it and completely shut the forum down. The HSATF as well as every other forum on EZB will be going. Whether it turns out to be a better system as proposed or a screw-up remains to be seen, but right now there's no sense in borrowing trouble, expecting the worst and making threats. I just thought some of you might like to check it out and didn't want you to get your knickers in a twist if you got a registration page like I did.

Lori, that photo gallery sounds like a convenient feature for posting photos on the Forum. Will it have a link to our post, or will it allow us to put a picture in our post?

Lori I'm not blaming You or Skip for this YUKU thing as I fully realize it is something you have no choice about and PLEASE keep the Forum operating for us insensative clods. But really, don't you get too much junk coming at you from sources that you wonder how they got your name. Yep, I AM oversensative about that no doubt. Meantime you ain't gettin' rid of me that easy!! lol

Re: yuku | #9 | ||
Thumbnail Thumbnail as link to larger image![]() Full size image Fred, when you upload an image you create a photo album (folder) to upload to. You can have many different albums to sort out your photos as well. After it's uploaded you have a thumbnail. When you click on the thumbnail of the pic you get the full size version and below that it has the web addys of both the thumbnail and full size image for you to link to. I uploaded this image of our cat Donut into my yuku gallery just to see if it would work here, and it seems to be fine. Lou, don't sweat it. The only way to get rid of this place is nuke attack on EZB/yuku. I do understand your frustration with the login problem. Alot of us have had it at one time or another, and I wish I had some advice to stop it for you. There's been many times Skip has looked into moving the whole thing to another forum provider, but one stumbling block is the simple fact of the generosity of the folks here contributing to the community chest. It would hardly be fair to them to just up and leave with $142 of their money lying there unused. I've just had an idea. Try one of two things -- whichever is easiest for you. See if you have the staying logged in problem with Lori's account if she'll let you borrow it, or go ahead and create another EZB account like hombldr2 or something when you're logged out and see if the problem continues. I know when Skip was having that problem it didn't effect my account at all, and vice versa when I had the problem. It may save you from losing any more hair until the problem clears itself up.

Lori, glad to see there are so many photo options. I tried to complete my yuku profile today, but never got the confirmation e-mail. I have not heard from yuku's customer service yet either. Maybe tomorrow they will respond.

It appears that EZBoard is trying to get with the program and compete with things like Xanga, Facebook, and MyPlace. Once they get the bugs worked out, it will probably be OK and will allow you to be as involved or uninvolved as you want. Just my guess.

I for one welcome a change for the better. I'm sure it will be better or they would not be making the change.

Re: yuku | #13 | ||

Hey Lori, I need some help with the yuku. I tried to get in and it asks for my ezboard e-mail. I tried Uncle Clay but it did not work. How do I find out what my ezboard e-mail address is?
Thanks, Clay "Stumbling block, or Stepping stone, the choice is your's"

Re: yuku | #15 | ||

Lori.....I finally took the time to log onto the yuku site and created a profile. I thought all was well until I saw the screens that you and Skip have. Thinking that there were some enhancements I could make to the yuku screen I attempted to improve the look of my screen to appear similar to yours. But I must be stupid because I could not find any kind of enhancement features available.
I'm wondering if this is because this is a beta site. How did you and Skip improve the appearance of your screens compared to mine. If you look you'll note the differences. thanks for your help....Alain |
