This time, it’s about JavaScript, not just their CEO, “Silent” Rob Labatt.

Over in their official support forum, someone asked when the promised JavaScript Library would be available to allow board owners to customise their boards.

Another user asked the direct question again and it was ‘answered’ by a Customer Services [sic] representative with nothing but an embarrassed smiley…

Another user asked the direct question as to whether board owners would be able to add their own scripts.

 And another asked the big question: whether they would be able to use web analytics software - a reference, I think, to Google Analytics. Now as we know, ezboard, Inc. are already running Google Analytics on every Yuku page so I doubt they’d want the users running their own versions (if indeed they’d run side-by-side) especially if ezboard, Inc. start charging for Yuku boards on the basis of page views as they do on ezboard (also without any independent or board owner verification)…

 In chimes one of the ezApologists - who happens to run vBulletin on his own site - to give reasons why it would be A Bad Idea to allow board owners to run their own JavaScript on Yuku.

I’ll let another user answer that point:

“I totally understand. Was this a big issue on ezboard? I never had any problems.”

Ah yes. It was fine on ezboard but not on Yuku. I see…

And no official response yet as to precisely when the JavaScript Library will be available and what it will contain, including whether the customers can run web analytics scripts on Yuku as they can presently on any self-hosted solution (as I do here).

Quelle surprise…
