The Yuku Team

For anyone interested, there are FAQS here and a couple of discussions in the Support Lobby.

.

Are the posts showing up in alternating colors for you? I see white/sand/white which separates them clearly for me. I can look into adding a line/border if others have the same problem - I think I've seen that modification talked about in the help forums.

Huh. I've looked at the board on two different computers using Firefox, Netscape and two versions of IE and I've seen the alternating colors with all.

If anyone else has the same problem as star squiggle or did and fixed it, please post here and maybe together we can find a solution for her.

star squiggle: Since no one else has reported that they do not see the alternating colors, I think it may be a problem with how your browser is rendering colors? (The question mark is because I really have no idea!) Do you have IE on your computer and can you check it with that? I did look at MissDimples' board and I see alternating gray and yellow rows.

JimB: I believe that user accounts/profiles and boards are separate features. All member accounts are now "global" and there are ads on members' profiles. If you pay for a Yuku Supporter account (old ezSupporter), you will not see the ads when you view others' profiles. You also will not see ads on boards that are not - I'm not sure what it's called now, but the Yuku version of ezboard's Gold Community.

Individual Yuku boards pay a fee for the ad-free experience so that users, whether they are Yuku Supporters or not, do not see ads. Yuku just recently released a pricing structure for boards. It's a little confusing - a flat fee up to a certain bandwidth/view usage, then it's based on that. Our Gold status was successfully transferred from ezboard and our Community Chest balance was applied, so we are all set until sometime in July.
