 Hi,

 Changing BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE has some issues:

 - It breaks the media paths of the new main blog. So for example I have a
 blog myblog4.mydomain.com with the id 4. The media path is wp-
 content/uploads/sites/4/ If I change BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE from 1 to 4 the
 media path becomes all of a sudden /wp-content/uploads. (!) This is not
 normal because I was just changing the main blog for my site, not the
 media path of that blog.

 - After changing the main blog, the new blogs created inherit some of the
 settings of the new blog, including, for example Upload Path. (if I
 remember correctly.) Anyhow there is an issue with new blogs.

 - At some point I got an infinite loop with the www subdomain and wp-
 sigup.php. However I think this bug is already solved.

 And a whish for the wish list: Would it be possible to use a subdomain as
 the network site. I explain myself. I would like the www subdomain to
 behave like any other blog in the network. And I would like
 network.mydomain.com to be the actual network i.e. where wp-signup.php
 would land.

 Please take a look to the following thread in the forum:

 Thanks
