I'll be using both the first and third. Allowing our users to create their own teams without giving the ability to make new forums or invite external people is huge. When might we see this live in the app?

Thinking more on this, Posts really need to be in a separate space. Right now when I click on an existing post it expands within the Posts list, which is unreadable to me. I have to click a second time for the Post to slide out from the right in it's own space. The problem with this viewing method is that I can't see the team chat while the post is open - and if I close the post to go back to chat I lose what I'm working on.

If pop-outs won't work, could we at least change how opening an existing post works? I'd very strongly prefer if clicking on a post title opened the existing post to full view, and made it appear in my sidebar so I could go between the post and my team chat. I do this all the time when creating new posts. A preference to control this behavior might be for the best so people can choose, but I know I've lost entire meeting notes that I was typing into a post comment only to lose them when I thoughtlessly look at my team chat.

The ability to add everyone in a team - the groups idea mentioned above - would be helpful in creating appropriate groups.

I'd LOVE to see this, but recognize it might be difficult to accomplish. I think ad-hoc group chat might address this. For the scenario above, someone in Events could start a new group and add Events and IT. It would likely address the bulk of this need.

Thinking through this idea, I think it can be closed - the need to be addressed would be taken care of by ad-hoc group chat.

I've reported this as a bug as it really just seems to be a security/privacy issue.

I agree with Matt and Kevin. As an Admin, I need to see 1) what teams exist 2) who is in those teams 3) be able to add/remove people from those teams and 4) archive the team as appropriate. The content of the discussion is immaterial to the job I need to do.

With today's cosmetic updates, our users asked when the features that actually matter and would improve their communications would be implemented. This is the single most requested feature from our entire team, and we get asked for updates on when it will happen at least monthly.

We've been using Ryver for 6 months now, and the continuing lack of administrative controls is an obstacle. When we review our usage in the new year, we might be switching platforms to another service if the controls are still missing. Today's cosmetic changes are nice but not priority, and shows a disconnect between the dev plan and user needs.

Multiple windows open concurrently. In part our users got used to working that way with previous chat programs. It's also useful in a multiple screen situation when you're working on several things at once trying to keep up.
