Yuku free message boards

Gray Eagle, you don't need your phone number to log into Yuku using the Sidekick, and Yuku does not have a mobile version. There were plans at one time to have a mobile version, so there are Help files and so forth about it, but it was not actually implemented. You need to just use the ordinary Web page layout.

Many Yuku features will not work if you have JavaScript turned on (see below), but you should be able to login whether it is turned on or off. Even if you managed to log in and stay logged in, you would not be able to post here at Yuku with JavaScript turned on since it hides the "Compose Post" box, so you should have JavaScript turned off to post here at Yuku.

Here is how the login screen looks from the Support board. It looks identical whether JavaScript is turned on or off. As you can see, there are boxes to login. The box on the left is for your User Name, and the box on the right is for your password. If you are not seeing this, or if you cannot stay logged in, then there is something wrong with your device.

Back to the conversation:

I experimented viewing Yuku pages with the Sidekick (called the "Hiptop" outside of the U.S.), both with JavaScript turned on and with JavaScript turned off. Below are screenshots.

JavaScript doesn't work on the device the way it does on a computer. It is limited in what features will work (for instance, scrolling marquees don't work). The only Yuku feature I found to actually work the way you would expect with JavaScript turned on is that it will hide the board extension on user names.

In fact, I discovered that posting on Yuku is actually impossible with JavaScript turned on because the "Compose Post" box is hidden for some reason. I tried it out on three different boards, including here at the Support board, two of which I've shown below.

For the most part, the Web pages look identical with JavaScript turned on and turned off, but for the times when they do not appear identical, it is almost always a disadvantage with JavaScript turned on. That might seem counter-intuitive since features on computers work better with JavaScript turned on, but on the Sidekick, it is the opposite.

Besides not being able to post on Yuku with JavaScript turned on, the pages take much longer to load as well. Below are screenshots showing the differences. I didn't bother posting screenshots of the rest of the pages since they appeared identical, or nearly identical, with both JavaScript turned on and off. The text-size can be made larger or smaller on the device; I have it set to slightly larger than "medium".
