Description
Being a group owner, I know that it is essential to have interaction with your members. Right now when a new member joins I message them on their profile and welcome them to my group, but what I am proposing is that on the usual accepted message shown on the top, is that group owners/admins should be allowed to add text within that.. giving a welcome message to the people in the group. My suggestion text I put in blue, which obviously would be a different color... but its a thought
ON ANOTHER NOTE... Whats up with the app pictured in the bottom... Thats an installable app on the admin page of your group. What does it do? When I install it, it does nothing more than what a Custom box would do. Why is this app here dA is it for welcoming my admins? Why would I want to welcome my admins to the admin area... Groups are made up of mostly members, not admins... the members are the ones I want to welcome not the people that are supposed to be running it
To dA, I assure you that any admin in a group got a proper introduction from the person that invited them... they dont need a widget.
I dont know what this widget does.. or why its there. Its just a Custom box. Make it do something.. o.o please. lol
my suggestion with this app, is to have it broadcast the message to new members.

I really like the idea of this message, esp for members who don't have access to the backroom of a group where more might be explained 
It would probably work as well, if the message was on a white/brighter background to be visible enough when in the message center
I quite like the widget in question, I have many groups with admins and having a sort of guideline in the backroom when someone new joins is very helpful

Thank you for the feedback! When I get home later I will make those changes, I like it
Since you are a CV, would it be too much to ask if you helped suggest this as a DD for DA-Related? ^^

You're welcome
The best way for you to go about this, is to actually suggest yourself

Well, since it says 'welcome new members', maybe it's just for the admins to welcome their members, you know, using all the HTML codes in a Custom Box..like you put a welcoming picture I guess? I'm not sure lol
