Ho Shadyy510,

Currently it's not possible to change the default privacy settings for your network members - we suggest that you could edit the hompage help content and tell people that if they want their profiles to be private, they need to set them as such. You can edit the help content via the 'Features and Tabs' section of the admin centre at http://my.socialgo.com.

We're developing a switch at the moment whereby you will be able to choose between universal activity, and just friends activity.

Thanks! Tom

Brilliant news - will this bring over the profile pics and user pics as well????

Looks like we will upload our userbase and do format our site to look similar to our Ning Sites then just change the redirects off our www pages and we are live on socialgo.

We will wait for the next update .... any time frame yet??

We already have a user account API if you want to write a script to import your members. You could in theory sync up our database with any existing forum, network etc.

We will have a CSV import feature in the next feature release which will be in the next few days.

Cheers
Alex

Hi there - I think this is what you're asking for... we recommend a header height of 180px and a logo of approx 140 px height. If you wish to have no logo and a smaller header, please refer to this question http://gsfn.us/t/ku1

Hi Maxie, the member billing system will be in place by the end of September, though we don't have an exact date as yet. Alex will take note of your suggestions, thanks a lot for those! Tom

Hi Alex,
Congrats on the great new service. I am also wondering an approximate time frame for the member payment system Can you give any indication?

Also, as far as features, I have used many membership systems on a number of platforms. A simple affiliate system for rewarding members for the referrals increases the value and functionality tremendously in a social environment. I've seen two set-p that would work for my use. 1. A system that allows the network owner to share revenue with administrators and moderators simply by entering an admin username and % to be shared. 2. A system that allows you to designate a % for every new member referred by another member. Also, trial periods and coupon codes would be great.

Look forward to your full Beta launch!

Best regards,
Maxie Collier

Sorry! This is my fault. It currently displays for 3 days not 14.

We are working to sort this out so it can be removed. Expect it to be fixed up for all members in the next week or so.

Thanks for reporting it!

Global css etc can be now added via the admin panel. Go to Custom HTML and then put your code in the Page Meta Data portion of the page.

At the moment the text below it is wrong (it refers to banner text) but don't let that confuse you! That will be updated in the next 48 hours!

Cheers
Alex
