    @trailhead @SlackHQ The link for the Admin Cert is broken:

  • graygill Gray (@graygill) reported

    Take down the commercial, @SlackHQ! I don’t wanna hear the notification noise on the weekends or after 6 pm

  • retttx Everett (@retttx) reported

    @merci Terrible. Sync those flags to localstorage plsss @SlackHQ

  • jeringeok91 jern (@jeringeok91) reported

    @SlackHQ These days I am feeling annoyed with Slack. Not sure if its my configuration problem. I hear a notification sound from Slack, but on clicking slack icon, it does not take me to the exact message which caused notification. Instead I have to manually go through all chats.

  • windroses Sara (@windroses) reported

    @nachoad @SlackHQ @SlackStatus Kyndryl slack down 😩

  • cajainas cajainas (@cajainas) reported

    Hey @SlackHQ! since I have two workspaces in my client (v4.23) when I receive notifications, it uses more than 90% of CPU and RAM, and freezes my computer (Ubuntu 20.04). Is there any solution to fix this?

  • shinypb Mark! (he/him) (@shinypb) reported

    @slackhq At some point recently, the desktop app lost the smarts to re-focus the message input when I start typing. I miss it dearly. Help?

  • DonnyWals Donny Wals 👾 (@DonnyWals) reported

    @akaralar @SlackHQ The issue that a lot of paperwork would be involved. It’s an option, but not something we as admin team prefer

  • nachoad ··· Nacho Alonso 🦖🦕 (@nachoad) reported

    is there an issue in @SlackHQ? at @SlackStatus I see everything in green, but there are several colleagues who have problems with sending/receiving messages... 😕

  • egonwillighagen Egon Willighⓐgen (@egonwillighagen) reported

    annoying @SlackHQ bug in the desktop app (maybe just Linux): it refuses to login on the top slack via the browser. Impossible to get it added to the desktop. Anyone knows a workaround?

  • cpltalk (((cpltalk))) (@cpltalk) reported

    So anyone an idea how to work around the interface problems? I am using standard Macbook software (OSX, Safari) why is using @SlackHQ so difficult? #usability #fail

  • RonJeffries Ron Jeffries (@RonJeffries) reported

    @SlackHQ That does help. But it's still quite large, it seems to me.

  • qlerebours_ Quentin Lerebours (@qlerebours_) reported

    .@SlackHQ why did you broke down the search with Ctrl + K ? 😔 We can't move quickly from one channel to another because when typing the channel name, it shows files before showing the channel name a few seconds later. It's so frustrating (I'm not the only one having this issue)

  • BeckyTimmons9 Becky Timmons (@BeckyTimmons9) reported

    I am aware there are more pressing problems. But @SlackHQ I’m going to request that you get rid of the notification ding in your commercials. THE ANXIETY IS REAL. And during football playoffs? Someone check my blood pressure.

  • FalconSensei Falcon | Geekosaur 🍥 (@FalconSensei) reported

    @SlackHQ same problem :/

  • wprins W. Prins (@wprins) reported

    @SlackHQ @Omcsesz I've also had this now for quite a long time, and no, Ctrl+Shift+R does not fix it. (Sharing a Remote Desktop window, in case that matters.) Killing Slack with say e.g. Task Manager (unsurprisingly) gets rid of the border.

  • cpltalk (((cpltalk))) (@cpltalk) reported

    @SlackHQ Seriously? Do you also offer a password app to help with that? In terms of improving #usability perhaps add a fat note that helps customers understand that it’s not a bug but a feature.

  • Brady_The_Flynn Brady Flynn (@Brady_The_Flynn) reported

    I now have so much @SlackHQ muscle memory that I'm holding down shift in docs and emails whenever I need to start a new line :facepalm:

  • ciphero Eric Cifreo (@ciphero) reported

    the worst thing @SlackHQ ever did was remove tab-auto-complete in slash commands. it was built into muscle memory and now...just broken

  • AFWhope Angelica F. White (@AFWhope) reported

    @SlackHQ what is force-closing? I closed the app and re-started the phone and they had not effect to fix these issues... 🤔

  • deepakkumar_dpk Deepak K (@deepakkumar_dpk) reported

    is @SlackHQ down or slow today?! 😑😬

  • found_objects Found Objects (@found_objects) reported

    @SlackHQ WTF?! I was spam-invited to a Slack channel & didn't accept. No way to flag as spam. Today, I get email from you showing me msgs that I'm "missing" & saying I've been forcibly added to a mailing list. I can't do anything w/o downloading your app. Please FIX THIS!

  • FalconSensei Falcon | Geekosaur 🍥 (@FalconSensei) reported

    @SlackHQ That didn't help. After reinstalling, I found the problem: I use it with 200% zoom on the accessibility options, and seems that the more I increase the zoom, the smaller the threads panel gets. It's usable at 150%, but it's nowhere near as comfortable to read with that font

  • KathMitchell84 K Mitchell 💚 (@KathMitchell84) reported

    @TamsinRussell @SlackHQ It's been massive for me reducing work emails and reinforcing work/personal boundaries. Make sure ppl use it. Only have it on your work phone, not your personal, use it for everything that doesn't need a formal email. Use it daily so if you want help troubleshooting, just shout

  • PfactPfinder Will Pfadenhauer (@PfactPfinder) reported

    I hate the new @SlackHQ commercials which market their app as a way to contact your coworkers outside of their normal business hours. Setting boundaries and maintaining work-life balance are healthy practices that should be respected, not problems that need a workaround.

  • egonwillighagen Egon Willighⓐgen (@egonwillighagen) reported

    @SlackHQ well, there is no error message... where can I find log files?

  • TamsinRussell Tamsin C Russell (@TamsinRussell) reported

    @Robin_Ergadia @SlackHQ Thanks 1) that was the issue before, and I was part of the problem! 2) From a worklife balance perspective I have taken my work emails off my phone so feel a bit trepidatious about putting any apps on to do with work on my phone! Will let you know how it goes!

  • TheCre8tiveDiva Anita C. 😷 (@TheCre8tiveDiva) reported

    Anyone else have an issue with @slackhq where things just stop? Like, no notifications, no pings, no nothing. Log out, log back in nothing. But if I uninstall it and reinstall it, I get a kazillion pings, knocks and doorbells from folks who sent me something a long time ago?

  • reydisutandang Reydi Sutandang (@reydisutandang) reported

    @SlackHQ @pkcrumley @SlackHQ please fix this once and for all

  • CCEmenike eChris - 10X Tech Addict (@CCEmenike) reported

    Honestly the product folks at @NotionHQ and @SlackHQ are just amazing. I just want to seat down and watch them work.
