If this is the way it's gonna be, I'm removing my board from Forum Find. A Google search is much better than this, IMO.

If this is permanent then I think I will have also reached the end of my patience of the hope that Yuku would turn out to be a decent fun system. It seems that the more changes that have been made over the last 2 years are just getting worse instead of better. I honestly don't think I can put up with anymore bad choices on the part of Yuku. The ads in the posts, the complicated payment system and now a stupid search engine. That's without the slowness, white pages, and server can't be found. It's just getting too much now. When one does a search though if we put Yuku after the tag word of a type of board we are looking for we can get up Yuku boards. But.... It also brings up a tremendous amount of profiles at the same time that one has to plough through to find a board.

I tried "tinnitus" to see whether the search would find my board. It did, among other boards, but at the right were nine Google ads for worthless tinnitus remedies, the kind we at the Tinnitus Support Message Board call "snake oil." Such products are the reason we've stayed Gold all these years. We don't want tinnitussupport92262.yuku.com to be associated with them. I realize that yuku won't change its search function to please my board, but I should think yuku might change it to avoid advertising its competitors.

What on earth is Yuku thinking? I've disabled the searchable feature in Forum Find for my board. I do NOT need this.

Another thing about the new Forum Find, categories seem randomly assigned to boards. Our tinnitus board has "Automotive" and other irrelevant words attached, but "Health," the category where it belongs, isn't there.

Posts: 2183 26-May-08 1:19 PM Blog-a-holic	I noticed that as well Reph. It's as if all the tag words we have put in our management settings are ignored as well as the category that we have chosen to be in.

Posts: 856 26-May-08 5:24 PM	The labels change, too. Last night, our tinnitus board said "Automotive" and I don't remember what else--several labels that didn't fit. Today, "Automotive" was off the list and "Gaming" was on. Okay, you can get tinnitus from gaming, if a casino is very loud and you stay there too long, but most people don't, and that's probably not the kind of gaming they mean anyway.

But worse - I googled my old home address and post code in Cooden Beach in East Sussex and there my name was, --- (before Boo adopted me) and then I typed in details of my former parents and up came their details on the city council's Electoral Roll. OMG! It's all there - even where my parents went to after they split up AND my *** of an older sister! It was like my past had returned to smack me in the face. In a way I felt abused all over again. Now OK - I can find out all this on Google anyway. But no - I found my personal details on Yuku's forum search. Now isn't that insidious? For the record of reporting this here I have copied and pasted some of my remarks from the Lobby: Well, I fully intend to remain with Yuku but I am not prepared to sit back and allow them to keep the google search lodged in where the forum search leads to those ghastly forums. There are sheafs of promises from Yuku staff, all talk but no "walk". This google-forum find search is disgusting! Athough Yuku are in the money making business they could receive a lawsuit writ from disgruntled Yuku parents, paid up members - whose children were damaged by entering this seemingly permanent fixture as google search. In closing I hope the boss of Yuku reads this - and reads it good! Mister - would you want YOUR children accessing your forum search and FINDING CHILD PORN? Huh? I vomited. I hate Yuku now. "Hate" is not a word which I like using very much, I'm not the sort of person who actually hates anything. And as for my mum's board Hiding Place, we can't delete it to join another server because it will be very inconvenient for us and anyway I doubt our members would follow cos we'll have to set it all up again and our admins just haven't the time and neither have I. So we are stuck with your company Yuku. We have no confidence in you. Last Edited By: Pantalaimon1 27-May-08 12:42 AM. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 856 27-May-08 12:07 AM	Lyra, are you sure you want your real name(s) there, and the town where you used to live, for all to see? Once personal information is on a board like this, search engines will pick it up and preserve it forever.

One of the advantages of Yuku is...or was...the community search. Maybe the Google $$$ are tempting, but when boards get more visitors because the forum find it also generates money. Short sighted.

Posts: 2183 27-May-08 2:17 AM Blog-a-holic	God, I'd give anything for them to bring back the original board search we had way back in 2006. I used to spend ages looking through the boards then. When they changed it to incorporate the ezboards it became hard and boring to find a board one fancied. And to this day I still don't know why they changed our settings to force us to add a 150 x 75 image in our settings for our board information as they only ever showed up so tiny in the forum find. So much in the beginning was far better than it ever is now. There is no doubt that adding this google search is to try and make more money but it's not going to make more money if people are so enraged that yet more will leave and take their boards and members with them. If Yuku want to have a strip of ads down the side of forum find I don't think any of us would complain but to have the actual search a google search is just mind boggling.
