Why not set your network's favicon....
By Alex HWhile we process the migrations and get out new US data center online we still got a few features out of the door in this week's release.
You can now upload any image you want to be your network's favicon. This will get converted into a valid ICO file and will display in your browser's address bar. Neat!
Look for it under Network Details in the admin system.
In this week's release we also fixed the ability to replace Video thumbnails which was causing a few network's issues.

How to set up a custom domain.
By Tom2. Every domain registrar is different in the way they are laid out, but, all will have a field for the following information, which you need to enter in to the relevant fields when logged in your domain registrar's website:
For your domain, you need the A name (e.g. yourdomainname.com) pointing to 84.22.170.149
You need the www CNAME pointing to yourdomainname.com (type in the domain name there without the w’s)
In tabular form for yourdomainname.com it’ll look like:
yourdomainname.com A 84.22.170.149
www CNAME yourdomainname.com
3. Once you have changed your settings, go to your SocialGO admin center and click on 'Network details'
4. Enter the name of the domain you have purchased in to the domain field.

Foreign Language on SocialGO.com
By Ross CHi All,
This blog is aimed at the Foreign Language Network Owners of SocialGO.com who have put the time and effort into customising the language of their site.
Firstly, the changes you have previously made to your languages are safe and I recommend that you always "Export" (e) a copy of any changes you make as a backup.
Due to the high load of recent weeks, your custom language settings had to be disabled. This was to ensure quality of service and allow us a bit of time (amongst the many other things); to establish a plan for SocialGO.com languages.
For current SocialGO.com Foreign Language Network Owners, who have already modified their language settings:
- Export (e) a copy of your current language settings.
- Select your language from the drop-down (a) on the import language page; and click "Change Default Language" (b) - fig 1.0.
- Check your site; it should now be using your original language values.
- Delete the old export on your computer that you made at 1) and export the Updated settings for your records again.
For New SocialGO.com Foreign Language Network Owners:
- Select your language from the drop-down (a) on the import language page; and click "Change Default Language" (b) - fig 1.0.
- Search for the text you want to change back on the main language page and update the values. These changes should be visible on your network.
Important note: We are currently trying to get more sections "Internationalised" and will let you know when new text values can be modified via this blog.
