Okay, back with the info.
Apparently Yuku is heading to a major revision release sometime soon, and among the things it's doing is apparently turning your profile page into a clone (kind of) of FaceBook (judging by the features they're adding). At the moment it's in beta, and supporters are invited to try it out -- hence some of us getting buttons and some of us not. Those of us who get an invite can invite others to convert as well because the warning about interaction is serious -- but the scope on which it applies is not clear; I can't tell if it means private mail or entire boards.
Personally, I don't feel like doing their beta for them. Apparently conversion will be mandatory when the new stuff goes into release, but until then I don't want to have to deal with the "who's upgrade/who's not" issue, especially if it impacts who can post to the board and who can't.
In any case, the support boards have been acting as though there's been a lot of advance warning about this. For all I know there has, but I can't really find much of anything before January. In any case, here are some possibly useful links to threads in the support forum:

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
