    @nickrw @SlackHQ Bit broken for me. CMD+. now brings up one specific thread I viewed, for no reason.

  • danielsfields
    Dan (@danielsfields) reported

    Dear, @SlackHQ, please stop trying to "help" me with numbered lists. You get it wrong every time. I want breaks in between my list items to make them more readable, but for some INSANE reason, you won't let me do that without restarting the list numbering.

    @SlackHQ @SlackStatus having major issues trying to log in to the desktop app right now... Can't even seem to load your help centre. Any outages right now?

    @phoenixwizard @SlackHQ if its working on Chrome or Firefox, this seems like a DNS issue at first glance? Checked the usual bits?

  • TheRomanianOne
    The Romanian One (@TheRomanianOne) reported

    @Dynamicbrands @SlackHQ Yeah, tbh, not 100% sure I can see as much leverage in the move either, but from their perspective they probably would like to add the 450M MAUs $PINS has to their payment platform in some way. I don't think this will go down anything like AOL type disaster but time will tell.

    @felixsalmon So sorry your @SlackHQ iOS notifications are giving you trouble! Are you seeing badges or bolded channels for nonexistent messages, or are you getting push notifications with no message behind them?

  • banev
    желатин говяжий халяль (@banev) reported

    @SlackHQ @PatientZro Is it still an issue? We need a fix to fully destroy the messages in private channel/group/conversation/whatever, when the last user leaves it

    @SlackHQ Here is another problem I faced, why to use windows snipping tool to take a screenshot and then paste it to the slack msg. Can slack build a shortcut to create screen capture and add it to msg directly once desired screen part is selected? Thanks in advance!

  • KatieJo46939473
    Katie Jones (@KatieJo46939473) reported

    Hey @SlackHQ, why can't I draw on video call when I enter full screen mode? I can see my drawing but the other person cannot. I narrowed it down to happening in full screen. Is this a known issue?

  • toinbis
    Tomas Čerkasas (@toinbis) reported

    No global settings for custom channel groupings or custom channels order in Slack. Neither personal groups nor prefixes does not help much... @SlackHQ I am willing to sponsor the development of this feature. Can you kindly please provide me a quote?

  • matthewmorek
    matthew (@matthewmorek) reported

    There’s one important thing that @SlackHQ needs to solve before its huddles and calls will be good to ditch other tools: Latency. Google, Apple, and Microsoft have managed to solve it neatly, while this is still a problem on Slack calls, where people talk through each other.

    @phoenixwizard @SlackHQ yikes! Please file a ticket with /feedback, the right team will help you figure it out... :thanks:

  • rubenbgoncalves
    Rúben Gonçalves (@rubenbgoncalves) reported

    Example of things that help w/ that: - remote work - avoiding (video) calls and solving issues by text using some tool like @SlackHQ - having company documentation using a tool like @NotionHQ - using task boards such as @Jira - documenting your code and keeping it clean

    @HenryInnis @SlackHQ Analog hack. close down slack for however long you want to focus, then open it up and get all your notifications at once.

    @freakboy3742 @SlackHQ Had some folks today complain about the desktop client not working today so maybe something’s up.

    @SlackHQ help for stuck notification dot on Android app?

  • kurtseifried
    Kurt Seifried (He/Him) (@kurtseifried) reported

    Like I'm finding with @SlackHQ SSO every time we change someone's login they lose all their message history/etc, it's a giant pain.

  • Lachlan_Mc
    Lachlan McIntosh (@Lachlan_Mc) reported

    @SlackHQ can you guys fix the UI for custom apps - it's kind of insane at the moment - so easy to lose your custom app - have someone contact me if you want me to show you what i mean

  • freakboy3742
    Russell Keith-Magee (@freakboy3742) reported

    @SlackHQ Oh - and no other website is having problems.

  • sankalp_sans
    Sankalp Sharma (@sankalp_sans) reported

    @phoenixwizard @SlackHQ Quite common when your ISP is MITM-ing (sometimes inadvertently) and it can because a certain CDN uses their Data centers for peering. In short, switching to a typical VPN will solve the issue.

  • Remzztrades
    Remz (@Remzztrades) reported

    @SlackHQ Im updated. But when you click a thread on slack and you tap to get to the bottom of the thread it no longer brings you there. I have to scroll from the top down with thousand of messages. Never had this issue prior to the update

  • Remzztrades

    @SlackHQ IOS Version. Latest update has had some major issues

  • tomotaka_ito

    @SlackHQ hi, I'm going to create my new slack app and the app need some API key(our service provides) to setup, how can I do? Should I retrieve that kind of config value through dialog? thanks.

  • Mahaloween

    .@SlackHQ - Is there a reason Slack shortcut might not pin to the taskbar? Cos that's been happening and I don't understand why. Please help!

  • mbrochh
    Martin (@mbrochh) reported

    @Mario_Gibney @SlackHQ The real issue here is really just how incredibly stupid MacOS’ minimizing feature is. I never ever minimize anything, because I want to be able to alt-tab back into the app whenever I please.

  • Sander_Spies
    Sander (@Sander_Spies) reported

    @SlackHQ No, I don't have that. Clearing the cookies and site data for Slack, which apparently was 2GB according to Firefox, solved the problem. Thanks for helping out.

    Is anyone else having an issue with @SlackHQ where the screen share tool bar will not move during screen share & it blocks part of the screen? It used to move. #Slack

    Aram Bhusal 💉💉 (@phoenixwizard) reported

    @ni_nad @SlackHQ Vpn solved it for now. Looks more like an isp issue. Will raise a ticket so someone else doesn’t face this in the future :)

    @SlackHQ @aaronbshaw Slack API has an error code `emoji_limit_reached` documented on the `admin.emoji.add` method 🤔🤔🤔 challenge accepted?

  • freakboy3742
    Russell Keith-Magee (@freakboy3742) reported

    @FlipperPA @SlackHQ It's definitely looking like some sort of CDN edge problem to me. However, regardless, I look forward to an extensive conversation over email in which I demonstrate that yes, I have checked if my router is turned on.
