  1. Add quote reply in addition to collapsed threads

    Currently, in order to reply to someone a few messages back, you hit the reply button and it goes into a thread. Alternatively, Mattermost could add a quote button on messages next to the reply button. When you click quote button it should work like reply in modern messengers with text of the message or part of it and name of the creator of the message.
    Threads are useful, but creating them for replying to paticular messages can be a bit of an overkill.

  2. Allow users to reset "Do not ask me again" prompts

    A Jira issue (https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-4815) implemented a modal pop-up that prompts users to reset their presence to "Online" when they first open the client in cases where they previously set their status to "Away" or "Offline" in the UI.

    Once you select "Do not ask me again" you are never asked again. As a downside, there is no way to reset this prompt. You're stuck with your decision forever... unless you can hunt through the Mattermost DB to delete the right value from the right table.

    Users should be able to reset any "do not ask me again" prompts…

  3. Add an option to require explicit opt in consent when registering a new user

    Currently, disclaimer text exists in Mattermost directing users to the privacy policy and terms of use, below the create account button (user registration page). I propose that these should be explicit opt-ins using a checkbox or radio button pairing, rather than an assumed opt-in.

    Regulations will differ around the world, and people's preferences will differ, so this should probably be a configuration option rather than a flat behavour change.

  4. Line numbers for code blocks

    When in meetings (with slow internet speed where you cannot share your screen), it is difficult to refer to lines of code that are not numbered and discuss things. It'd be great if lines were numbered or at least there was an option to optionally enable such a feature or a separate "numbered codeblock" feature.

  5. seen messages in direct message or channel

    In Telegram you can see who read the message in channel.
    I think it's good feature, because right now I gotta set reaction on message to let know user who mentioned me that I read it and he doesn't need to repeat it me in DM. also we want this on direct message

  6. Support for syntax highlighting in Mattermost Boards

    Mattermost Boards should support, in Cards text content, code blocks with language specification. For example:

    // Your First Program
    
    class HelloWorld {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Hello, World!"); 
        }
    }

  7. Option to make username invisible

    When creating a post or searching for users to add to teams or channels, only the full name or nickname should appear and the username should be hidden according to a configuration.

    In my case, a username is linked to a worker's ID, which is pretty personal and long to show.

  8. data retention/purge in open source edition

    I occasionally check in, to see, if mattermost is usable, now.

    Instead, you made it worse.

    You deleted the original thread from years ago:
    https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/36989788-make-data-retention-and-prune-reset-clear-availabl

    This is still wide open:
    https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457/suggestions/15357861

    It would be nice to propose switching to mattermost, but as it stands, it is still unusable.

    There's clearly a need:

    I voted for the first time (couldn't bother signing up so far). But reading this post, this is at least from 2016. Seems you do not care for new users.

  9. Draw.io Integration

    Similar to Boards, it would be advantageous to have the ability to draw charts collaboratively with the rest of the team within the MM app. Draw.io is an open source software with permissive licensing so it wouldn't be too much work to implement this feature relatively quickly.

  10. Highlight part of conversation

    It'd be lovely if there was a way to highlight text in an ongoing thread/discussion. It's quite common that when posting long texts, the responding person/people miss part of what has been entered.

    E.g. I'll enter three paragraphs of text, the person/people responding completely miss out on what's entered in the second paragraph. Rather than having to enter "As I was saying, above, in my second paragraph...", it'd be very useful to be able to highlight a block of text.

    Not sure if I should only be able to highlight parts of my own text, or any text.

  12. Display all unsent draft messages in one place

    Every once in a while, I stumble upon an old draft I started typing, never finished or sent, in various locations (public / private channels, direct messages, threads...). It's nice that the icon next to the location is sometimes showing clearly that I have a draft there, but with many channels/DMs/threads I still risk losing a draft.

  13. Allow to disable thread autofollow when whole channel was mentioned.

    Add parameter that allows Mattermost admin, to disable thread autofollow while having collapsed reply thread turned on while mass mentions are used (@channel, @all, @here).
    I want my users to get notification, but not to follow this thread automatically, afaik, this is not possible at this moment, because thread autofollow must be set to true in config.json, for collapsed reply thread to work.

  15. Cache emojis on server from S3

    The Mattermost server downloads every emoji as the user requests it from S3. To minimize S3 traffic the emojis should be cached server side so every request does not need to hit S3.

  16. Filter out inactive users in Mattermost system console user list

    Mattermost system console user list should allow to filter out inactive users, or in other words to only show active users and admins.

    Right now you only have following options:
    "All users"
    "System Admins"
    "Guests"
    "Inactive"

    So an option "All Active users" should be added.

    Also a filter to show only users which has/has not enabled MFA would be very useful

  18. Adding a "Do Not Disturb" Mode

    We all know that people need to concentrate to work efficiently. This is why macOS and then all the operating systems have introduced the "Do not Disturb" mode, which allows to focus on your work.
    And I think we can do even better while integrating it to Mattermost.
    What is in the "Do not disturb" functionality ? It stops alls notification except the ones which doesn't disturb you.
    But the question is : why is it interesting to add it to Mattermost ?
    In a Mattermost server (for me), there are lots of different channels. Even the basics channels of…

  19. User name pronounce upload on profile.

    according to various national users join to Mattermost instance.

    sometimes not sure how to pronounce their name,
    (especially, when people use their real name)

    what if each users available to upload their name pronounce on profile when they create an account.

    and people on the same channel with that person can play it? (only when they click pronounce button)

    I think it would be convenient for who have Mattermost instance like me.
    thank you.

  20. Separation of sent and received chats

    Hello friends
    Annoying enters

    One of the things that can greatly increase the beauty and efficiency of the program
    Separation of sent and received messages
    Like WhatsApp and Telegram messengers where the sent messages are displayed on the right and the received messages are displayed on the left
    And the username is displayed on the same side
