Add background color on BOT messages (by condition or log level)
I just wonder that if MM could set background color for messages by condition.
Like hipchat that bot messages could show with different color by info level:
green => success
yellow => warning
red => failed32 votes -
add a go to date feature similar to stack
add a go to date feature similar to stacks. I use this for example to go to the top of a channel. Specially after joining a new channel.

Separate "Favorite channels" and "Favorite users"
The new "Favorite channels" feature interleaves channels and users. It would be better to separate out "Favorite users", the same way Channels and Direct Messages are separate.

Add a /quote command
Pasting a multi-paragraph block of text for quoting is currently frustrating, as you can't just type "> " and then paste and hit return, because if "\n\n" happens to exist in the block, it'll fall out of quote mode.
Since we already have /code for code pastes (like HipChat), let's also go for /quote: you do "/quote <paste><enter>" and done.
The implementation would be virtually identical to /code, just replace the 4 spaces with "> "

"Voiced" channel mode like IRC
Sometimes (especially in open source development) public and private are not granular enough distinctions. I'd like to be able to set a public channel as "voiced" where only certain users can post messages, but everyone can read them.
This is similar to IRC, and is extremely useful for meetings held publicly, but where the only voiced participants are members of the project leadership.

allow personal access tokens for all users
Currently non-admins cannot create personal access tokens unless they ask an admin to enable personal access tokens for them. Considering that any user could already go through the SSO flow or use username+password depending on the setup to get a token for the API, there should be a config option to allow everyone to create personal access tokens by default.

Include channel creation and management restrictions in team edition
I know these features were left out of Team Edition to keep it simple, but these options are present in the config.json file.
Enabling this features from just the config.json file would keep the team edition ui simple, but give smaller teams the same ability to control the whims of their users

Add support for using channel_id in the URL instead of channel_handle
Right now you can link to a channel using the following URL
https://my-mattermost-server.com/teamname/channels/channel_handle
However, if the channel handle is changed, the link gets broken.
This feature proposal adds support for using channel_id the URL instead, which doesn't change. Example:

Allow us to make the window smaller on desktop without collapsing the sidebar.
Sidebar needs to be able to be resizable and we should be able to make the window smaller with the sidebar still showing. There is a lot of empty space.

direct message
Improve search/filter during direct message.
With more than 100 users, it is really tough to find the user for DM through scrolling. Sometimes the user only know the first name and not last name... or worse, can only guess the spellingWould be great if we could use
"mochi"
to find
"masashi-mochizuki"

Open attached image in browser
When trying to view attached images at their full resolution, having to save the image, find where you saved it, and then open it there is quite clunky.
It would be better to open the attached image in a browser, users can right click save it from there, and it can easily be maximized there

Make emoji reactions visible in pinned post panel(right-hand side)
We'd like to pin a 'poll' post to see the results and make memebers easy to find to post it.
However we have no access to the reactions in the 'pinned post' pane in the right-hand side.

Make visual indications of new messages more pronounced
The current indication for the Mac client is a hardly distinguishable blue dot for the team and a hardly distinguishable whiter color for the channel. It's nice and muted, but I had to really look hard before I found what to look for for unread messages. I suggest a slightly more pronounced way of indicating unread messages for teams and channels.

allow admins to set the default channels when a member joins
It was nice in Slack to say for the batch of invitees that have been recently invited that they be thrown into channels x, y, z instead of having to manually Add Member to varying channels or ask them to seek out channels and add themselves.
134 votesHey all! The work has now started and we’ve released an experimental setting for default channels.
System Admins can configure default channels via config.json, here is more information about it https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#default-channels-experimental
Big thanks to @dschalla for contributing this improvement!

Unread marker "time machine"
It would be nice to be able to "go back in time" when it comes to "unread posts". I have not studied in detail how MM keeps track of this, but I'm guessing a "last seen postId" or a "last seen postDate" or something similar. Anything greater than this is "unread". Anyway, what I would like to see is a way to "undo" or "go back in time" on nn unread states.
Say I login today, I have 33 unread/new messages. But I want to go back to the "unread count" I had the last time I logged in before…

Build a thread system similar to Twist
As plenty of companies around there we find Slack/Mattermost a bit too chatty at times. More importantly, it sometimes makes it really hard to follow discussion around a specific topic. For now we have two choices :
- Create a specific channel around a topic. But you can start to have a lot of channels really fast
- Use "threads". But to be frank threads implementation is really lacking and not practical for complex discussions
A new player,https://twistapp.com/, has an interesting take on this problem. Real time channels still exists, but there is another category of channels, entirely based on…

search through all teams
Right now the scope of the search feature is limited to the current team. It would be great to have option allowing to specify the scope: channel, team, global (for example)
