Suggestions for groups

Last year we have been promised to get great improvements for groups. So far none of these promises are kept.

Groups are the most boring part on NING networks. I have disabled it on my networks because my members don't see the use of it, cuz they are nothing but discussionforums and we can not post any content in it, like blogs, videos, photos, events, and other stuff

First of all we need groups customization just like for our profilepages, along with its standard themes but also add CSS in an 'advanced' tab.

Next i want the abillity to add blogs to certain groups inside the network.

Same thing counts for forums. A link that allows me to add a certain thread to several diferent groups inside the network.

Also groups specific photo/videopools or photo/videoalbums...

A suggestion for every single item inside the networks. When i add a video, blog, forumthread, song, anything, under EACH item a link or button that says: 'Add this item to one or more groups inside this network you are a member off.

Inside each group, for every single module the abillity to adjust how many items i like to have listed for this specific module, just like on the homes of the networks.

Wider groups So we could have too columns for a group instead of just one where everything is posted under eachother. When we have two modules for groups we have to scroll less.

Use the middle module for an extra narrow textbox inside groups, so we can post any HTML there, like some small buttons, minibanners, links, anything....

When will groups have a boost? New features? New possibillites? I will only enable groups again when they are upgraded to cooler groups with more possibillites.

Thanks!
