Hi everyone. I meant to post this a bit ago but I never got the chance. Recently I changed the Chatter comment templates so that they're not automatically visible on profiles. I thought it'd look neater but this isn't a permanent thing. I want to know what everyone thinks of it, should we keep it, go back to the old look, or try something else?

I also wanted to pitch this idea I had. Okay so I've been thinking and I really don't think the current way of sending friend requests is that efficient. I don't want to speak for everyone else but I personally don't check my actor's Chatter comments as much as I should. I feel like maybe if we put a little friend request section on profiles (like below the "Friends" box) then it'd be easier to see. We could work out a format of some sort where basically to send a request, you add your actor to that section (like adding a friend). Then when an actor sees that they have a friend request, they could take that request off and make them friends on BOTH profiles. They'll have to add to both profiles or the other person would never know. And then, we can start up those "@Soso just friended @Soso" bubbles that Heather pitched earlier! Personally, I like the comments format better but I just don't think it's easy to see and this might be easier.

Okay so this is JUST an idea, kind of a big one, but I've also been thinking, what if we started Chatter groups? Like, people can make Chatter group pages that you can either be invited to join or you request to join. Then, the members of that group can post whatever they want. Here's an example. So maybe Shelly Yanes wants to create a "Luke & Lauren Cast" Chatter group. Maybe the page could be named Chatter/Group/Luke & Lauren. The top of the page would have the title and would say "Created by @ShellyYanes." Then who she invited to join could come join and post on the group page. People can request to join but it has to be approved by a member. A group page can range from a group for the cast of a movie all the way to a group of actor best friends. Before group pages are made, you'd have to get it approved somewhere, probably on the Actors board or maybe we can put a section for group pitches on the Chatter page. So tell me what you think in a reply below! :)

Sorry for making this so lengthy, thanks for reading it! :)
