:groups:  Widget flood ...

In an initiative to shake things up, and see what happens by removing a lot of widget-related restrictions, we've recently made almost all widgets available on almost all pages -- for Groups only.

:groups:  Caveats ...

:bulletpink:  Some of these widgets may be taken back.  We're going to keep a close eye on how they're used, and see whether there's anything we don't want happening.  If it turns out that listing your Collections on your Blog just doesn't work, we'll withdraw it.

:bulletpink:  There will be visual glitches.  (Happens to the best of us, right?  That haircut senior year maybe wasn't the best choice, eh?)  Some of the modules are being thrown into narrower columns than they were designed for.  We'll fix these cases as they arise, but the issues won't necessarily be top priority.

:groups:  Ready, set, go ...

Ready to take a peek and see how different groups are utilizing the changes?  Visit any of the following alpha groups to see more.

I put worms in my bed and slept in my bed,
And put a squirrel in my bed and mustard in my bed,
And then I ate 'em all, is that bad?  :wizardhat:

Groups are a great idea, but for now i'm more interested in there layouts. #depthcore has a really sexy layout... :drool: I wish i could make mine look like that.

Well, we already have tons of accounts / groups like that, but once groups become official..

I suppose I don't see 'em enough to really care..

This is a really good idea and I hope it flows smoothly.

If no one minds my asking, how would one go about turning an existing club into a group? Is creating a group account an option that's now given in the same place where one creates a deviant/club account?
