  • nesl247 Alexander Kim (@nesl247) reported

    @SlackHQ Could we just get tabs instead? I don't like reading everything on the sidebar. It's the same problem threads have.

  • BiomedIsaac Oluwasegun Isaac Daramola (@BiomedIsaac) reported

    @SlackHQ Is there a general issue with installation for Windows PC? Tried all sort of troubleshooting, still "failed to extract installer"

  • JKay3000 JamesMcKay3000 (@JKay3000) reported

    @SlackHQ Bringing it up is not the problem. I can't star it and permanently pin it to my list without DMing the person because it was automatically removed more than a week ago. I want to permanently pin it to my list without DMing the person.

  • amieastcoastyet Jon (@amieastcoastyet) reported

    @CubicleApril @SlackHQ I’m glad someone else has this problem. I thought I was going crazy everyday!

  • levraisido Sylvain Dechamps (Sido) 🧙‍♂️ (@levraisido) reported

    @Yisrael_Dov @SlackStatus @SlackHQ Hi ! Did you got an answer from slack ? i got exactly the same problem actually 😟

  • abhishekdesai Abhishek Desai (@abhishekdesai) reported

    @gokulr I face the same issue for @SlackHQ. Any solution for that?

  • CecileTonglet Cecile Tonglet 🦀 (@CecileTonglet) reported

    @SlackHQ No it's more about the mark up themselves. In standard markdown, this is how you do bold: **bold** (GitHub, Discord, ...) In Slack, this is how you do bold: *bold* The problem is that you don't follow the standard and it's very disturbing when using GitHub or Discord

  • rgrubinstein Rachel Rubinstein (@rgrubinstein) reported

    help when did @SlackHQ start opening full messages where the threads usually open and how can I make it stopppppp

  • SpencerKorek Spencer Korek (@SpencerKorek) reported

    @bdeeter Issue is incentive structures w who runs messaging platforms. Apple has little incentive to iterate on iMessage. WhatsApp has unread feature but Facebook hasn’t done a ton here post acq. Unsurprisingly B2B @SlackHQ and @MicrosoftTeams are further along here than consumer apps

  • Anisharajan_ Anisha (@Anisharajan_) reported

    @adityashertg @SlackHQ @Medium Yeah agreed, my use case is that I’ll read only what I want to read, given that earlier practices with newsletters was that I was not properly informed that it’ll be sent to me just by signing up to a service or product, I have created an aversion towards it

  • kscheib Katrin Scheib (@kscheib) reported

    @SlackHQ Hi, is it no longer possible to set monthly reminders? I have one that's up and running, but when I try to add a new one, the drop-down menu only has daily and weekly options, not a monthly one

  • riz_surana Rishabh Surana (@riz_surana) reported

    @SlackHQ Only if you fix the bugs 🤦

  • thkeith Keith Tan (@thkeith) reported

    @SlackHQ Sorry just saw this! 1. The latter. Typing a message and @ tagging them. 2. Unfortunately it doesn't open it at all... when I hop on the desktop app, I see the message in draft To note, I've deleted and reinstalled but 1. still is a problem. 2. seemed to have stopped.

  • CubicleApril April King 🌀 (@CubicleApril) reported

    @freddyb @SlackHQ I actually thought my keyboard was broken, and went out and bought a replacement. I felt pretty dumb when I realized it was that Slack that was the problem instead.

  • BunkyFob FunkyBob 💉💉 (@BunkyFob) reported

    @SaturniusMons @Zoom @SlackHQ I once found the service I need to run so I can use the overlay/draw feature in Zoom... without it the window is black. Have Slack fixed the ability to share just one screen, not the whole desktop?

  • TheProductLife The Product Life 🚀☕️✌🏼 (@TheProductLife) reported

    Noticed something while using @SlackHQ on a desktop. When I am in a running conversation, my head+eyes have to remain pointing down to the bottom of the screen.

  • smakosh Smakosh (@smakosh) reported

    @SlackHQ has been down for me the whole day....

  • marconiusiii Marco Salsiccia (@marconiusiii) reported

    I'm getting tired of doing your #a11y regression testing, @SlackHQ. You fixed the issue where #VoiceOver wasn't opening links in messages just a build or two ago, and now it's back to being broken. Really frustrating all around. #Blind

  • XyaThir XyaThir (@XyaThir) reported

    @Yisrael_Dov @SlackStatus @SlackHQ Same here! The pb seems to be a DNS propagation issue of french provider SFR.

  • Cottage_Hair The Cottage Salon (@Cottage_Hair) reported

    @SlackHQ hi! We are at file capacity for the free version. I am attempting to delete some but it won’t let me see the files in order to delete them. Can you help?

  • sashak007 Natasha (@sashak007) reported

    @SlackHQ are sound notifications not a thing for threads? I use to get sound notifications for thread replies but haven't been getting them for a bit. Can someone help?

  • thibauld thibauld 🌍🔥⏳ (@thibauld) reported

    @SlackHQ Slack Desktop on Win 10. It looks like my Slack is having issues loading channels or threads sometimes. I sometimes have to wait ~30s to 1min before the channel messages appear #unusable

  • digividkid Ed Arsuffi (@digividkid) reported

    @SlackHQ It improved about 2 hours after. All teams are reporting no issues.

  • jwcph Jesper Wille (@jwcph) reported

    @JeffreyWhitlock @SlackHQ It's just a complete mess. Threads bifurcating wildly, unhelpful UI, impossible profile management, no focus... it's basically Teams 🤮 I seriously don't know what it's supposed to do that fixes the problem of collaborating using email + phone.

  • TheCelavi Nikola Svitlica (@TheCelavi) reported

    @AppleSupport I think that it is not issue with OS per se. there were no notifications fired, however, during the meeting I heard new message sound from both @Viber and @SlackHQ (applications were running in the background). So I guess that vendors of applications should get info from OS 1/2

  • shanksverse Ashwin Shankar (@shanksverse) reported

    Anyone else have an issue with the @SlackHQ IPad app not letting you edit a message you just sent as part of a thread? What am I missing here? This can’t be a design choice can it?

  • Carlos_Tweets Carlos (carlos.fyi) (@Carlos_Tweets) reported

    Hey @SlackHQ looks like your desktop app on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) has an issue with uploading photos using "From your computer". It just crashes - happy to help with the debug. Might have been a recent update? #Slack #Ubuntu #Snap @SlackStatus

  • freddyb Frederik Braun � (@freddyb) reported

    @CubicleApril @SlackHQ Next time, you could just try to type in Eclipse IDE and see if the problem persists ;D

  • ofcAnthony Anthony, of course 💉💉 (@ofcAnthony) reported

    @SlackHQ I'm pretty sure it's an issue. I can upload images from the app on my Mac, but not the app on my Pixel 3. I'm a multi-channel guest in that workspace, and not in there through Slack Connect. Appreciate you looking into it. It didn't feel like it was deliberate

  • KieranBrahney Kieran Brahney (@KieranBrahney) reported

    @internettum @SlackHQ Experiencing this too on 20.04. Did you find a fix? Seems to be a security feature introduced in 4.19.2 /sarcasm
