It finally clicked. I thought of this new addition to Chatter to make adding friends easier and cooler. It may just be me, but I'm always checking friend requests in the comments late, if I really check them at all. I think this definitely delays friend requesting and getting your actor's Chatter out there. So I created this new way of requesting friends. On Chatter profiles, there is a new "Requests" section that must be expanded to be seen so that it doesn't take up too much space. There is a new parameter in the Chatter template it's titled "requests." Just like how you add your friends to the "friends" parameter, you add to the "requests" parameter. In source mode, the Chatter profiles will not have this since this is new so you must add it in.


 * requests =

In the requests section, you can add the Chatter ID box of your actor and that's how they can send a request to a person. Whenever a request is in the box, a star will appear next to the "REQUESTS" title and that's how you'll know if you have a request to tend to. You can see an example of this over on this profile. Whenever you accept a request, clear that request out of the requests section and add their Chatter ID box to your actor's friends section and their friends section.

Additionally, I made those "___ is now Chatter friends with ___" bubbles that were requested so long ago! :P So whenever you accept a friend request, you can post this template on your profile. Here is the coding for it:

And then here is an example:

That's it. I hope you like the changes. If you object, please say so.
