Hey Catherine

Your skin layout wouldn't copy over, but we'd be happy to help set you up with a skin that comes as close as possible to your current skin. The shoutbox in your sidebar would have to be replaced with the shoutbox script that is in the script library here. It may be a bit different than what you're using now, but it's still a shoutbox. Other than that, your board layout and theme seems pretty straightforward to replicate for Yuku. I'd be happy to make a start on that for you, so that you've got an idea of what it'd look like. I'll have some time this weekend to do that for you. For any skin related questions, there's http://skins.yuku.com.

Board settings, private forums, member settings, admin settings... those things all translate over smoothly during the upgrade. Posts are all moved across, in their respective forums with the settings that you have in place (stickies, locked, etc). Your members will also automatically be "migrated" to Yuku, so that they don't have the hassle of having to re-register. Member accounts are duplicated to Yuku. Their post count at that time will be duplicated too, but it won't add on new posts that are made at ezboard. From the moment of upgrade the two accounts become separate accounts. Posts at Yuku will add to the Yuku post count total, and posts at ezboard will add to the ezboard post count total.

People going to your ezboard url will be redirected immediately to Yuku after the upgrade, so that you don't have two boards happening simultaneously. The redirect will also be in place for those who have your link via google or other boards.

When you are ready to make the upgrade, you put in a ticket at http://www.yuku.com/help/ticket and staff will help with the next part.

Anyway, I hope this helps?
