Yuku free message boards

'Let the ezOp know' how? And do they ensure that the Admins are also informed, and are able to take action if the ezOp is away for over a week?

As a member, fine, it's up to the Admins of the board to inform me (or not) - I wouldn't expect Yuku/Ezboard to do that. As an Admin though, whether I'm the ezOp or not, I would expect to be told, and to be able to do something about it if the board isn't ready to move yet.

Which does raise another question. If I do say 'we're not ready yet' - what happens then? Obviously, it's not going to go on indefinitely... so how long before you're in danger of being moved again?

I'd also appreciate some sort of update on the issues I raised above in response to Kristin's question. Let me make it clear: if all of the things in that list were implemented tomorrow, I'd apply to move my board the next day (we're in one of those lulls now). I am not opposed to Yuku - I just don't want to move until it has all the old Ezboard features that are important to me. It doesn't seem to me to be too much to ask to expect that an 'upgrade' will do everything the old version did, only better. That's what an 'upgrade' is. Yuku is not at that stage yet, for the reasons I've given. (Though, yes, it does most other things better, or at least equally well, which is fair enough).

Well, yes, xwpweb. But Ezboard allows them to be much larger than 100x100 (I think the limit is something like 400x400, although I don't recall exactly), which Yuku does not - at least not without the sort of problems Cedar is talking about. That's the difference; Ezboard has a standard size for avatars, but allows individual users to increase it as they wish, while Yuku forces you to use a specific size whether you like it or not. This is what I would regard as a typical quality Ezboard avatar:

There's no practical way that you can display that as an avatar at Ezboard. Well, not if you've got 100+ members, anyway. (I'm not even clear if Cedar's solution can be entered just once per board even if you have 20 different forum skins, as we do, or if it would allow 'historic' avatars - even if it does its a headache compared with the Ezboard method). It's a key part of the look of my board, and until I can duplicate the look of my board at Yuku, I'm not ready to move over. Otherwise, I'd transfer my board tomorrow if I could...
