@SlackHQ @jonathansampson Did you fix the split view ? Your article says you did but I can’t seem get it working
-
Rob Tarr (@robtarr) reported
@SlackHQ Apparently it's a @GetSpectrum problem, not Slack.

@TheSmarmyBum @SlackHQ Broh, slow down. SLOW DOWN

Bryce Mecum (@brycem) reported
@juliesquid @SlackHQ You done any form of resetting? On a Mac, Help -> Troubleshooting -> Clear Cache and Restart. Does signing in with a regular web browser produce the same behavior?
-
Andy Ellis (@bmoreconnected) reported
So our intern figured out how to use the @SlackHQ API, AWS, and Alteryx to create a system that solves all three problems. Our users no have a slack app they can go to to see the status of all their tickets, our admins can see the queue from the same app.

@SlackHQ @pqvst Has this been resolved? I have the same issue. It started this week

@SlackHQ Help! need to find a group chat between a few folks. It is extremely difficult to find.
-
Hein Haraldson Berg 💚 (@Haraldson) reported
@SlackHQ @cjno Still broken. This is getting absolutely ridiculous. How about you relay these incoming reports to the appropriate systems yourself?
-
Anjul (@anjuls) reported
Facing a weird issue on Ubuntu latest version, Slack when going into background is getting killed (verified by checking the PID). Not sure where to check the logs and how to diagnose this further. Any ideas? Version 4.19.2 64 bit via Snap @SlackHQ

ModestasV (@ModestasMV) reported
@Ocramius @SlackHQ And there are absolutely 0 errors that are shown to me. It's just: "#random (5)" but it never loads the random channel messages :) Unless of course, you leave the app open for 5-10 minutes.

@SlackHQ The problem is conceptual: new users want to have a in-person-style conversation that waits for the other party. "Hi Sue" "Hi Bob" "How are you?" "OK" But if they are slow typists, it can take MINUTES & the new msg ding distracts the recipient's attention Every Time it goes off

ModestasV (@ModestasMV) reported
@Ocramius @SlackHQ @SlackHQ This is literally something that I encounter too MULTIPLE times a day each day. Android app is unusable at all with this issue. You can re-launch the app, force restart, turn off the internet, and on... Doesn't matter. You just have to blindly wait for it to load.
-
hims (@himanshupawar) reported
@SlackHQ nope. that just list a drop down for all the contacts. It should be group chat options preferably in reverese chronology of chat occurrence.
-
Jered (@JPetrou97) reported
@SlackHQ whenever I try to upload a file on Slack (using Linux), it abruptly crashes. Started doing this out of nowhere last week and now I can't fix it. Others seem to have this issue as well
-
Justin Liszanckie (@justliz) reported
@SlackHQ So, I'm using VPN on Chrome instead of for my entire comp. What that means (I think) is that VPN is not activated for my Mail program & it's not for Slack. Can you assure us that no VPN is needed (just like Banks would tell us). Or is there a creative solution or setting to help?

Chanan Braunstein (@chananb) reported
@SlackHQ Launch on login option is actually available in the windows store app, it just doesn't launch minimized

Adam Kelleher (@akelleh) reported
@Symphony Why do it get push alerts to my cellphone when I'm actively using Symphony on Desktop (it's the active window!)? @SlackHQ has nailed this problem, FYI.

Danie K (@danie__k) reported
Anyone else having @SlackHQ and/or @Atlassian issues?

Cherrell (@Cherrell_86) reported
@SlackHQ @SlackHQ I’m new to Slack and need help starting a huddle. Do I click on a channel first and then create the huddle?
-
Dr. Julia Stewart Lowndes (@juliesquid) reported
@brycem @SlackHQ Thanks Bryce – yes, same behavior in Firefox. The Clear Cache and Restart didn't fix it, and I've signed out and deleted the desktop app and reinstalled/re-signed in too but same behavior
-
Vasundhar (@vasundhar) reported
Do what ever you are doing to Huddle to your calls @SlackHQ Call quality of calls is terrible and Huddle is very good.

Swikar Sharma (@SwikarSharma3) reported
@SlackHQ It's been a long time since the bug, couldn't you guys just revert back to the previous release and fix the bug locally?
-
Kraig Burrows (@zyncinteractive) reported
@SlackHQ @aviyrik I'm on 4.19 and this issue is still there.
-
illtron (@freshyill) reported
Hey @SlackHQ If I drag a video to my desktop client, I get audio but the video doesn't move. Same video from my phone works fine. Seems like a problem!

Rahul (@_rahulpp) reported
'@MicrosoftTeams is a nightmare for the past month. I would totally want to move to something like @discord or @SlackHQ... Fix your **** Teams...

@SlackHQ Constantly having this message on Windows 10 Looks like there might be an issue with your notifications The following conditions might be preventing them from appearing how they should:

Martin T. #VoterUprising #BlueSpatula✍️🌎✌⏳🌻🌹🥑 (@MartinTruther) reported
@SlackHQ I'm afraid that doesn't help. There is no (hamburger) menu in the Windows 10 version, or it's hidden somewhere and F11 only brings up my notebook's brightness settings. I'm still using task manager to kill Slack if I want to do something besides slack.
-
Joe Previte (@jsjoeio) reported
@SlackHQ Ahh! Good point 🤔 I'm using @brave and am not intentionally clearing my cache. Maybe something funky is happening. I keep getting signed out of @telegram in the browser as well so I bet it's a browser issue and not specific to Slack.
-
sneaky (@whoasneaky) reported
@samwhoo @SlackHQ I’m also experiencing this lately. Thought it was just me. Really hope there’s a fix soon.
