    Dear @SlackHQ, when I open a link to a workspace, and you redirect me to the login page, is it really too much to ask you remember which workspace I tried to access? I just told you, and it is even in the “return_to” part of the url, but you somehow still ask me to fill it out…

  • EcomFinanceGuy
    Michael Pignatelli, CPA (@EcomFinanceGuy) reported

    @binghott Barry - is it the user’s issue or @SlackHQ’s issue that channels are “too annoying”?

  • TheBigPotOfStu
    TheBigPotOfStu (@TheBigPotOfStu) reported

    @SlackHQ I've tried this many times, with different workspaces, and the issue is always the same. Setting up Slack on a new device = hell.

  • utoepeea
    Marie (@utoepeea) reported

    I hope @SlackHQ addresses the #gta6 leak as well because there are a lot of companies in gaming that use their service and this could be a huge security concern for them.

    @SlackHQ this is still an issue, as now if i want performance overlay I have to turn it on or off every time I am playing a game. That being said, idk if this needs to be fixed on Slack's end or nVidia's end. However, I am glad this is a temp fix.

    Slack is not loading for me for the whole day. I updated mobile app, tried to login from incognito, still failed @SlackHQ

  • rthangam123
    Ramesh Thangamani (@rthangam123) reported

    @SlackHQ Thanks a lot but this won't help us since we want to delete only bot specific messages not other messages

  • mr_delcampo

    @SlackHQ Anyone in Support around? We have a post Grid migration issue and trying to get a hold of someone live!

  • milhaus12

    @jtoyPro @MattBilotti @SlackHQ I thought I was the only one having this issue! I went as far as to send the suggestion to their customer support, the response was Thanks! Just use Control+V!

  • pelavarre
    Pat LaVarre (@pelavarre) reported

    @SlackHQ please let me collapse the Message some Bot shoved into our Slack Channel currently, nobody but admins can delete them ok, you know why - but can we at least let me chop them down to as small as nothing but the App's Icon, its name, the "APP" badge, & timestamp?

  • jessunpaved
    Jess Ran (@jessunpaved) reported

    dear @SlackHQ - it is absolute BS that the only way you can domain claim is with an Enterprise plan. Our smaller clients are having all kinds of issues w/folks joining the wrong workspace, because we can't domain claim the Correct one.

  • umanghome
    Umang (@umanghome) reported

    @SlackHQ Is there a known issue where the order of Workspaces keeps changing? It used to happen a lot earlier but then it stopped for a few weeks. It has started happening again this week. I'm using Slack on macOS (Apple Silicon).

  • pale_tonyb
    tone🍝 (@pale_tonyb) reported

    this happening to any other desk job folks? I spoke with @SlackHQ today and they said they've been trying to identify the issue for almost 2 weeks now.

  • TheMoneyPitt_
    TheSpanishBradPitt™❌ (@TheMoneyPitt_) reported

    @SlackHQ I am the owner and it hasn't worked in weeks members still tell me they do it get the notification anymore.... Your people have told me it is a known problem but no fix yet. Please help

  • judyshapiro
    judy shapiro (@judyshapiro) reported

    FWIW - Why does Slack have auto suggest answers? Woefully misiamed. I know "other" communication platform have recommended answers & I rarely use them cuz they sound like what they are - automated answers. @SlackHQ shouldnt emulate what is lame in other platforms. It doesnt help

  • THEMMYLOLUWAAA
    iamtpo (@THEMMYLOLUWAAA) reported

    @SlackHQ Thank you. It's the microphone button not highlighted when you're not muted but the video button not highlighted when your video isn't on. There should be some for of consistency. If video is off, highlight just as the microphone is highlighted when muted. Does this help?

  • _the_grue
    Ian the Saddened (@_the_grue) reported

    @SlackHQ This new split screen ui is the worst ui improvement you have made, so far. Threads opening in the main view is terrible.

  • EmeryCox4
    Emery Cox (@EmeryCox4) reported

    @pale_tonyb @SlackHQ Don't yell at me, but Have you tried turning off all notifications, restarting, turning on all notifications, and restarting again? I had a very strange similar-sounding problem in completely unrelated software a few days ago.

  • iambgv
    Bhargav Pandya (@iambgv) reported

    @SlackHQ Thank you for replying. When i force-stop the app and again start the app, it is working properly but i think when i open the app from notification, at that time particularly 2 times back issue is starting happening and only start working properly after force-stop.

  • gramnix
    Graham Wheeler (@gramnix) reported

    @SlackHQ It still gave errors on the Mac. In the end I did it from my phone and it worked. BTW separate accounts per workspace is an incredibly dumb idea.

  • maknz
    Regan 👨‍💻 (@maknz) reported

    @SlackHQ when I use the colon to insert an emoji (by name) in a message, it.. doesn't insert, instead just has the first few characters of the emoji name munged onto the end of the sentence. Total agony - please fix?

  • WillArakasi
    Will (@WillArakasi) reported

    I have to type an email and a password, get an email with a code, then use Google Authenticator for another code... just to login to @SlackHQ. I hate @SlackHQ.

  • harrycobbold
    Harry Cobbold (@harrycobbold) reported

    @SlackHQ Hey Slack, we're experiencing an issue with team members running the desktop app on Apple M1s where they show as online even when the laptop is asleep/shut. Availability comes on and offline randomly during the time the laptop is shut. Any ideas on how we can stop this?

  • podfish
    Steven Ketelsen (@podfish) reported

    The more I work on end-to-end/scrum-of-scrums type of work as a design lead the more I know that if you don't write it down it didn't happen. That's my argument for @SlackHQ, which gives you what they promise in the acronym: Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge.

  • OptusProjects
    Optus Projects (@OptusProjects) reported

    @SlackHQ @hermansje Hi, this is a real issue for our business. We have to revert to text/email to ask recipients if they’ve read messages. It could be a deal breaker for us using it long term. Please can you add this feature ASAP?

  • _the_grue
    Ian the Saddened (@_the_grue) reported

    @SlackHQ It's not the presentation that's at issue here. It's the functionality. It's yet another feature you guys have added clicks (or button presses) to to use. You keep making the UI measurably worse.

    @SlackHQ Thanks for responding but we never did hear back from Support after opening two tickets. We ending up solving our own issue after an hour of waiting.

    @SlackHQ slack please fix your mobile UI for posting saved images. IT'S SO BAD RIGHT NOW. I just want to share memes easily

  • shalomormsby

    @SlackHQ Hey Slack! You're really great, and I'm a fan, but one tiny little thing keeps bugging me: The "Insert link" command stubbornly refuses to work using the conventional keyboard shortcut of ⌘ + k that's worked itself into my muscle-memory. Any chance you might fix this?
