    @SlackHQ -_- But this has been an issue for over 2 years, hence the original thread from January 2018

    @b3ll @SlackHQ that’s annoying af, please fix it @slackhq. i’ve sent this feedback at least 5 times via the testflight builds

    @JacobSingh @SlackHQ File upload on teams is also pretty terrible.

    Maybe some prior art would help. Hey @SlackHQ, do y'all have Full Slack Developers?

    @SlackHQ @ebobferraris FWIW, I’ve had other coworkers report the same issue on iOS... only seems to have popped up about two weeks or so ago.

  • thewilliammck
    William McKinnerney (@thewilliammck) reported

    @SlackHQ @ebobferraris I’m seeing the same issue... if I launch into the app after not being online for a while, the menu view will show several channels as unread then a second later some or all of them will be marked as read... but I haven’t read those channels!

    @SlackHQ This is pretty weird. Never had this issue with any other app of the Mac App Store 🤔. Thanks anyway, I'll try that!

  • SarahVArnold
    Sarah V. Arnold (@SarahVArnold) reported

    @SlackHQ I’ve been uploading images for years on Slack. Same way-tapping picture icon, selecting off my camera roll. I’ve been getting error message: “Couldn’t send. Tap to try again.”

  • ebobferraris
    Enrico Ferraris (@ebobferraris) reported

    @SlackHQ Yes, correct. May it be related to Nov 12 update? Something went broken

  • jeremybernier
    Jeremy Bernier (@jeremybernier) reported

    Slack (@SlackHQ) notifications are completely broken, ie. I don't get them (Win 10) - why is this broken software so popular?

  • cyheffley
    Cy Heffley (@cyheffley) reported

    @SlackHQ been having an issue with your native RSS app where notifications arrive somewhere between 10 minutes and 3 days after new posts are added to RSS feeds. Any advice for speeding this up?

  • thehugodesigns
    Hugo.vue (@thehugodesigns) reported

    @SlackHQ the new way you treat pasted links is broken and is causing more delays to sharing links. The link I want to share is ONLY being attached to the closing parentheses ')', because your system automatically adds a link to anything that looks like a domain and overrides.

    is @SlackHQ @SlackStatus down?

  • Ramlec12
    Ramlec (@Ramlec12) reported

    @SlackHQ @codeout Hello Slack, it has been more than 1 year and I still got this issue. Any update?

  • GDayJason
    Jason (I hope you're having a great day) 🦖 (@GDayJason) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams But you can't thread conversations as well as @SlackHQ can, and that shits me to tears. (As someone who needs to use Teams vs Slack on a daily basis) Also: Teams emojis suck vs Slack. @MicrosoftTeams: you have a long way to go to be better. (DM me for help. Please!)

    4/ Engagement is 🔥🔥🔥!!! We already have 8.9k messages in our community (only been 6 days eek!!), which is dangerously close to @SlackHQ's free allotment of 10k messages before things begin getting archived. If anyone has suggestions on how to help here, plz lmk!!

  • shepisthename
    shep (@shepisthename) reported

    @SlackHQ It's not loading in my browser (Chrome) but I can access it on my phone. Not an internet issue as I'm currently on a Hangout that's working without lag and other sites are loading.

  • gidztech

    @guyothersome @SlackHQ I'm also not able to paste links properly anymore. I just want to paste the raw link like normal but it's pasting the title and trying to hyperlink it, but often fails on sites. My colleague doesn't have this problem, so I'm guessing it's some AB testing "feature".

    Hi @SlackHQ / @asana is your integration not working anymore? Haven't been getting Slack messages from Asana for since 9/9

  • SebastienAxinte

    @SlackHQ @SlackHQ Seems like v4.11.2 fixes the issue :) No crashes so far, thanks.

    @PatrickKlug @zoom_us @SlackHQ We use Microsoft Teams daily at my job. Problems are rare.

  • seedcode
    John Sindelar (@seedcode) reported

    One thing that helped us with @SlackHQ: your status is not our In/Out board. Being "away" isn't a signal you're not working; it's a sign you get it. You're going dark to get things done.

  • reivad

    @SlackHQ Just FYI, image viewing is broken in iPad split screen view for a while. It only shows me the left side of the image. Would be great if someone could take a look.

  • gidztech
    🏳️‍🌈😷 Gideon Pyzer (@gidztech) reported

    So, @SlackHQ has broken link pasting for me and other unlucky AB users. They are trying to be smart by using document title for the text but it's breaking my links and it's a TERRIBLE idea. It's like when sites hijack your clipboard

    @swyx @SlackHQ With all its problems, Slack still has a waaay better UX imo. No message threads in discord = 💩

  • cookie_lust
    bryan heinz 🇺🇸 (@cookie_lust) reported

    @SlackHQ i keep seeing channels mark themselves as read that i’m not even reading currently. other people on the MacAdmins slack seem to be having the same problem. is this a known bug?

  • JacobSingh
    Jacob Singh (@JacobSingh) reported

    @SlackHQ It's been years... why is this still so broken. Are you not using edge servers in multiple geos? Is that the issue? It's only slack. I've got a 16Mbps connection in Delhi

  • josefrichter
    Josef Richter (@josefrichter) reported

    Hey @SlackHQ it's rather difficult to hang up at the end of videoconference, coz the button is jumping up and down - different participants have video on or off, and as they say "bye" the window keeps changing height to show or not show their video :D

    @SlackHQ Hello, I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling and restarting my computer this am, and it did not resolve the problem. Please assist. Thanks.

    @SlackHQ I'm trying to log in on a new android phone with my work profile - I click the sign-in link, pick my account, log in and I'm greeted with the screen that says "There's been a glitch, we're not quite sure what went wrong". I've uninstalled & tried again - still nothing.
