Display Full User Names in Mobile App (Avoid Truncating with Ellipsis)
Hi Team,
I’ve noticed that on the Mattermost mobile app (iOS), user names are often truncated and displayed as “Kim…” instead of showing the full name, even though the full name appears correctly on the web version. This makes it difficult to identify users, especially in organizations where many people have similar names.
Please enhance the mobile app UI so that full user names are always visible, or at least provide an option to expand or view the full name easily. Ideally, the display should be consistent with the web version, either by wrapping the text, allowing horizontal scrolling, or…

Dialogue sees input in real time
Live Input Visibility During Conversation
I want to develop an AI bot that can converse with users and help them complete tasks. During the conversation, I want to see the bot's real-time output, corresponding to the streaming output of the LLM. Currently, I have to wait for the LLM output to completely finish before sending a message to the user. This requires waiting.3 votes -
What Features Should I Check Before Buying a VCF to PST Converter for Bulk Contact Migration?
I’m planning to move a large set of VCF contacts to Outlook and want to choose the best tool. What key features should I look for before purchasing a VCF to PST Converter? Should it support batch import for VCF to Outlook, keep all contact details intact, and work offline without errors? Is there any difference in performance between free and paid versions? Also, does it matter if it supports all vCard versions like 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0?

The ability to favorite emoji and access them quickly.
The recently used emoji section is nice, but it's very frustrating when they disappear or reset every few months for whatever reason. Can we add a section for favorite emoji? It would even be more beneficial where the "recent emoji" section is. Maybe there's a way to integrate both in a way that are easily accessible?
In my position we work very fast, so it's integral to be able to react to certain posts in an efficient matter when you need to. This feature would be an amazing addition.

New permission for reply to a post in channel
Hi!
We’re missing a separate permission for leaving comments (reply) on a post in a channel. We need this so that we can have channels where only the channel admin can publish posts, but everyone can only comment (reply) on those posts.
These could be news-style channels where only certain people, like the CEO, can broadcast critical company updates. Right now, this pattern isn’t possible, because if you revoke the permission to publish new posts in the channel for everyone except the admin, then commenting on posts also becomes impossible.
Thank you.

React to reactions
Reaction emojis are great for quickly expressing a sentiment in response to a message. It would be beneficial to have the ability to add a reaction emoji to those reactions.
For example, when someone reacts with “Thank you” I need to then type a new message to say “You’re welcome”, and if someone overlooks the small “thank you” emoji then my message can be easily misinterpreted as sarcastically implying the person wasn’t grateful!
Instead, it would be much better if I could add a “You’re welcome!” reaction to their “Thank you!” reaction.

Some kind of user interface that showed messages to a person that have not been replied to by the recipient of that @ message.
I think it would be a great new differentiating feature in Mattermost if they had some kind of user interface that showed messages to a person that have not been replied to by the recipient of that @ message.
For instance we often have people who are not very responsive on Mattermost. You send a message “@person can you give me your feedback?” and of course often the person does not reply. Then you have to manually remember that the person didn’t reply, so the next day or two you send them a message “@person would you please reply?” and…

JPEG XL (jxl) Image Format support
JPEG XL is one of the most modern image formats (in addition to AVIF). It newer and not yet as common as AVIF but it is the only image format which has practically no limitations (it supports almost everything). Compression efficiency is as good as AVIF (except for certain very low filesize settings) and it is also open source and royalty free. Encoding speeds are 3-5x faster than AVIF why it might be better for certain scenarios.
Browser support is a bit lacking at the moment so if support were added there should be automatic conversion to some more supported…

AVIF image format support
AVIF (which is also a still image of av1 video compressor) is one of the most modern image formats (in addition to JPEG XL).
Majority of web browsers already support it and modern news websites are using it on regular basis. Sites such as Facebook / Instagram support it (and btw.. render avif uploads much faster than jpg)
If you want to compress / archive your image collection AVIF and JPEG XL are best formats to do that as they are open source. Problems start when you want to share an image from your collection to a Mattermost site.

Option to disable threads
I am new to mattermost but this thread thing sucks.
I want to reply to a message in the same chat. 99.99999% of the time the response thread only contains a single reply and its not worth the hassle.
So please add an option to disable threads, or at least an easy way to reply in same chat that does not include manually copying the text and adding >

Option to Disable Channel Sorting Based on User Join/Leave Activity
I would like to propose an enhancement to the current channel sorting functionality. Specifically, I would suggest making it possible to sort channels based on activity, while excluding user join/leave events from influencing the sorting order.
The current activity-based sorting is useful for keeping active conversations easily accessible. However, frequent user join/leave events can also cause channel reordering, which may lead to unnecessary disruption, especially in larger teams or public channels where such events are frequent.

Use the system AUTH log facility for failed logins
It would be great if Mattermost could use the system AUTH log facility for failed logins.
It can (obviously) still do its usual logging as configured, etc. but I think failed login attempts should always be done to the system log facility as well.
It makes integrations with things like fail2ban far less complicated.
My two cents.

Add ESR URLs to the latest version redirects
The list of URLs at https://latest.mattermost.com/ that redirect to current Mattermost software is great. Doing an HTTP HEAD request on any of them shows the current semantic version in the Location header, great for checking for patch updates.
For some reason, ESR versions are not listed there. It would be very helpful for sysadmins if your list also had these:
https://latest.mattermost.com/mattermost-enterprise-esr-linux
https://latest.mattermost.com/mattermost-team-esr-linux
which could redirect to the versions marked as Extended Support Release on https://docs.mattermost.com/about/version-archive.html2 votes -
allow the Late Time Warning to be disabled or modified
Not everyone works a regular schedule. Constantly being "warned" about messaging someone during their regular work hours could get really annoying. The ability to disable this, or to alter the time(s) that would incur a "warning" should be a relatively low LoE.

Display full names in @mentions during input typing
When typing @mentions, there's an inconsistency in how names are displayed.
The suggestion dropdown shows both username and full name, and the final posted message displays the full name, but the input area only shows the username while typing.This creates confusion, especially in international teams where usernames may not reflect actual names. Users can't easily confirm who they're mentioning until after the message is posted.
There should be a way to display full names consistently in the input area while typing, matching the behavior of the suggestion list and posted messages. This would improve user experience and reduce mention…

Message attachment action button open URL
Currently, message actions button is doing a HTTP call to get a JSON response. What about adding the possibility to define button that open an URL in a new tab ?
Using https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/plugins/interactive-messages/ , we want to display a button that simply open a link:
{
"attachments": [
{
"pretext": "This is the attachment pretext.",
"text": "This is the attachment text.",
"actions": [{
"id": "open-link",
"name": "Open Dashboard",
"integration": {
"link": "http://grafana.my-dev.com"
}
}
]

Customizable Chat Skins or Themes for User Interface
I suggest Mattermost introduce customizable skins or chat themes (like animated backgrounds, colorful avatars, etc.) for user experience personalization.
Gamers and younger audiences often appreciate playful visuals during team communication. This could bring a fun twist and attract more Gen Z users.
For example, our gaming mod community (https://stumbleguymod.com) frequently asks for these types of features in real-time multiplayer experiences. A skin-based plugin or theme builder would really enhance engagement.
Hope this gets noticed by the product team!

Custom Tag or Option that shows 1st line (title) but collapses the rest of long post under "Show More"
Currently Mattermost limits the length of posts to 16383 characters (https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/17368972-eliminate-4000-character-per-message-message-leng).
Most likely the limit is caused by the length of the TEXT field in supported MySQL, which is 65536 bytes. A UNICODE character can take up to 4 bytes, hence the safe limit:
65536 bytes / 4 = 16383,75 characters.Using rich Markdown formatting, abundance of hyperlinks, one can reach the limit of 16383 characters in a research post.
To make it easier to scroll through the list, Mattermost collapses (hides) parts of long posts under "Show more" button/link, after showing first few lines.
Too make it…
