Hey All!

We are pleased to have pushed another release this week which fixes some known issues with the Member Billing system. Specifically that the Member billing system was getting mixed data back from PayPal so it will no longer be disabling your members. It will be up to you to contact your members on their cancellation and decide what to do.

This is a stop-gab measure in the interim while we get ready to begin work on the next-generation adult member billing system.

If you haven't already explored the widget store and installed the new Member Video Chat then please do so. It uses P2P video serving so the quality is really great. It will be replacing the standard video chat system in the coming week and will be fully white labeled for Zocku networks.

We experianced a couple of network outages this week due to our host based in Texas, USA. They have isolated the problem and tell us they have taken measures to make sure it will not happen again.

Finally, we will also start featuring networks on Zocku.com. If you would like to be featured on Zocku.com then please drop me a message!

Cheers!

Hi Networkers,

We hope everyone has made great use of the Free Bandwidth and Storage offer for those that joined us in February March and April to help build and grow your networks.  But alas we can no longer keep the accountants at bay and from the start of your May billing cycle we will begin charging for any overages in bandwidth and storage. 

If you have any overages you will be charged at the end of your next billing date for the preceding monthly billing cycle.  For example, you will be charged at the end of your May billing cycle for what you used in May. 

For most of you bandwidth & storage overages wont be a problem as only the very largest networks exceed there limits.  If you are likely to exceed your limit we have sent an email to you so that you are aware.

If you want to keep track of your bandwidth and storage consumption each month, and if necessary take action, please go to your Admin Centre http://my.zocku.com.  On the “Overview” tab (bottom right) we have displayed your current bandwidth and storage consumption since the start of your billing current billing cycle.  You will continue to accumulate bandwidth and storage until the end of your monthly billing cycle.  At the bottom of the display it tells you how many additional blocks you have already consumed this billing cycle.  This will give you an idea how much you can expect to consume for the full monthly billing cycle.

Please note that at the end of your monthly billing cycle your bandwidth is reset to zero, but your storage continues to accumulate unless you delete content. 

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact our support team on support@zocku.com.

The Zocku Widget Store is now open

The team has been busy developing the new Zocku Widget Store which is now available in your network admin center. The Store allows you to browse and add a variety of free and paid widgets to all Zocku networks. Each widget adds additional native functionality instantly like video chat, games, visitor maps and more!

Because widgets are integrated at the platform level, rather than through Open-Social, they become true “white-label” features of a site. Their integrated nature improves the user experience to bring value and uniqueness to each site compared with typical external widget offerings which look disjointed and out of place and typically inconsistent with a network's overall look and feel.

Check out WidgetLaboratory, our first official third-party widget supplier for more info on their existing and upcoming widgets.

The Widget Store works with Zocku’s advanced Layout Manager, which we launched last month. The Layout Manager allows you to drag and drop any element of your network and now allows you to place and configure your selected widgets.

The Widget Store will continue to increase the range of modules that can be dragged into your network and is the latest step in creating a flexible, rich platform for building social websites in minutes.

Every widget is different, ranging from the professional to the silly, but all are always designed to increase the engagement of your network. The widget store will be playing a central role in the future development of Zocku as the widgets grow and improve and you guys give us feedback on what widgets you would like to be developed.
