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.

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…

Customizable time in scheduled messages
When creating a scheduled message in the time field you can only select minutes 00 or 30, and this is actually a problem, users want to create messages for example in 45 minutes or 15 minutes.

Improve reporting on invitation lifecycle
Currently, nearly no information is exposed to admins about what is happening with invitations individually, or even in aggregate. On any workspace with restricted teams it's important to be able to identify how any individual user was added to a restricted team. In the event that a user who should not be there is added, finding out how they were added so process, rules, etc. can be updated is critical. The critical piece of this is being able to track invites on an individual basis. This shouldn't require any user interface changes, just additions to the INFO level logging.

Add a "Message" button to the System Console -> Users -> User Configuration view
Sometimes when I'm working in the Users section of the system console I have reason to want to message the user or users I'm working with. It would be convenient to have a way to initiate a message from the individual user view in System Console -> Users rather than having to copy a user's username, exit the system console, and then start a chat. Especially when I need to follow that up with some other activity in the system console.

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 >

Ability to hide other team members custom statuses
I would like the ability to hide all, or individual, user custom statuses. I don't want to disable them at the server level, just a display menu option.

Provide feedback that a photo/video is uploading/processing
Currently, when a photo or video is being shared the send button will grey out, but the user isn't presented with any "progress" as to the upload, this can be a little confusing.
On the web version and uploading progress bar appears, it would be nice to make a similar feature for the mobile app1 vote -
Check / uncheck checklist items from message
It would be nice if messages that comprise checklist items could be clicked to check / uncheck items. For now, the author can edit their message to change

Send 4k video
I would like to submit a request to implement support for sending video files in 4K resolution. I’m sharing a GitLab link where the issue is described.

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 functionality to automatically add new users to a team
A lot of new users are unfamiliar with / confused by teams. So they don't select one, and then can't post anything, and an admin has to manually add them. There should be an easy way for all new users to be automatically added to a team.

Threads: Proposal for additional usability and readability Option
Dear Team,
thanks for the awesome Mattermost App!I love threads, and i would like to suggest an additional usability and readability option:
Background (or "what drives me mad"):
Everybody knows the flow of conversations, they have the tendency to get unstructurized and important threads of messages get "buried" below new incoming messages in the parent channel.
Also People sometimes dont answer in threads, either they dont want to use threads, or they accidently answer in the parent channel.
This makes things more than often confusing to follow..My Proposal to implement just some options:
How it works Now:

Show emoji in Thread view as you do in Channel view
SUPER EASY FEATURE / FIX
In the Threads list, show the emoji that are on the first message of the thread just like you get in Channel view.We use threads as key topics of discussion, many are related to things that need to get done. When complete, we mark the first message in the thread with green check. We also use it to report bugs by marking the first message in a thread with the bug emoji. We have several emoji use cases for different purposes across different departments.
For some reason, the emoji is missing in the Threads…

Facing Issues with NSF File Conversion Tools
Hello everyone,
I’ve recently been trying to convert some NSF files (from Lotus Notes) into a more accessible format like PST or PDF for use in my current audio-visual editing workflow. Unfortunately, most of the tools I tried either crash during conversion or don’t maintain the original file structure. This has created delays in my project timelines. Can anyone suggest a reliable and secure NSF file converter that retains folder hierarchy and metadata during the conversion process? Also, if someone could share their experience with using any specific tool, that would be a great help.
Thanks in advance for your…
