First, adding pictures to a group is a rather circuitous pain. What typically happens is that I have a pic in mind for a group of mine, one that I can easily find online by using Google Images or even my own Photobucket account. But then instead of just importing it over, I have to save the image to my hard drive, and only then can I add it to my personal album, and only then can I add it to the group. That seems like an awfully lot of unnecessary steps, doesn't it? And this is operating under the assumption that album pics can only be uploaded from one's hard drive. Is it possible to upload from another webpage (or image hosting site such as Photobucket or ImageShack)? It should also be noted that a lot of my time logged in at ZU is spent while I'm at my work computer in the office, meaning I can't download anything to my hard drive at those times until I get home later that night. So is there an easier way to do this, or is it possible to streamline this and make it a bit more convenient to those of us who would prefer not to have to download all images and stick in random albums before putting them in our groups?

Second suggestion: All coding and formatting is turned off for the group descriptions on the social group pages (i.e. the box of text that you write in whenever you first form the group, which is the same field as "Edit Group" after the group is formed and you go back to edit the introductory field). Can we turn on the formatting codes for that please? It'd be great if I could use bold, italics, and smilies for those parts as well.

Thank you!
