I've read the various emails on tiling over floorboards and see I will need a thick plywood base, but with thick tiles this will make the floor noticably higher than the adjoining room. Is replacing the boards with the plywood a way of getting the stable base without the height? Or will it not support the weight?
Replace floorboards with plywood prior to tiling?

wouldnt have thought ply wood on its own a good idea as it will flex too much
ok, thanks
I've also read I can put a flexi-matt straight onto the original boards if they're sound and secure and tile straight onto that.
Well, I can't feel my boards move, they don't creak and it's a very small area. But how can I be sure this method will be ok (other than find out when it's too late).
