Remove message action popup when selecting text
If someone sends you a long message with text you need to copy, the pop on the right side of Mattermost for replying, reacting to messages, and has "more actions", gets in the way of selecting the text.
This is especially bad when using the compact layout, because it completely obscures the text underneath it. It would be nice if the popup didn't overflow on to messages or at least didn't show up when selecting text.

Provide options for turning off the link previews for specific sites
Currently, we do not want to turn off all link previews (Enable Link Previews: false). Can we get an option for turning off the link previews for specific sites such as Gitlab?
Thanks.

add no reply warning in email template
Hi team and thank you for your work.
We are an organization that runs a Mattermost Team Edition instance which is used by near 6.000 users.
Sometimes, we have users replying directly to email notifications sent by Mattermost. These replies get back to us, and we do not have time to forward it nor to warn the senders that their messages didn't reach the right people.Would that be possible to change email template by adding something like (with french translation, it would be awesome though!):
"Do not reply directly to this email, otherwise people will not get your message"…

add feature to create groups of Members.
Create groups of members to easily add a group to a new channel vs. adding/inviting people individually, or be able to tag a group of people.

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.7 votes -
Provide a "Mark read" choice in mobile push notifications
A "Mark read" choice in push notifications about new messages, as seen in many IM apps, would be handy in Mattermost Mobile too. Currently the message can only be marked read by tapping the message to open the app (which is slow).

Timer for channels
Add a timer - like an egg clock.
"I set the timer on this channel to 15minutes, and when its over, @channel gets a notification to stop their tasks and message the results here"
"Ok, everybody brainstorm this idea until the channel timer bleeps"
"Scrum meeting is delayed 30 minutes, I set up a timer so you dont miss the start of it"

Support connecting with IRC clients
Mattermost should support regular IRC clients. A bridge require you to host an entire separate IRC server just for a couple of IRC clients, unless you want to give control to an IRC network. In addition, a bridge per definition is hackish. People speaking are not in the userlist, private messages are impossible etc.

mailgun as mail manager
Propose to use mailgun (an email service for developers) as an alternative to the SMTP server. The open-source blog platform ghost uses it and it is very easy to configure (instead of a whole server mail to install and secure).

Treat post selection as a reply
It is a constant struggle to keep all relevant messages associated to a thread. People don't see the reply icon or understand its significance. I'm not sure how to best solve that whole problem, but it'd help to make the concept of a reply more prominent if selecting a post is the equivalent of clicking the arrow icon.

Slash commands progress indicator
Mattermost should have a way of showing that a slash command was executed, and awaiting response. At the moment you have no way of knowing if your command was sent out or not until a potential response arrives. For slow services this is raither tedious as you begin doubting if the message was sent or not, and might end up sending it multiple times.

Offer an onboarding bot
An on-boarding bot helps new users to on-board into a work environment. In every channel a new team member enters the On-boarding Bot will send a message explaining the channel, what is done there, how the team member can get involved, whom to contact etc. This would help organizations and teams to work more efficiently.

Simplify chatbot integration by enabling bots to run sandboxed, in-process on the server
Currently if I want any sort of 'bot' behavior, I need to:
- Get an API token (ask an admin for permission)
- Stand up a server or learn serverless
- Figure out deployments/monitoring/logging
To test my code, I need to expose my in-progress work to the internet so it can receive webhooks.
This is a substantial bar to clear, resulting in monolithic projects like Hubot with many plugins.
Organizations implementing this style of bot frequently have only a handful of people who know how to contribute to it.
An alternative would be to support 'Managed bots': custom code (language TBD; javascript (via…

Allow interactive message button clicks to edit buttons on message
Currently, when a user clicks on an interactive message button, MM sends a request to a remote web server with some information. When the server responds, it can send in a Message json blob, but this does not allow you to change the buttons on the message.
For example, if I were making a poll integration, there might be vote buttons, and after voting, I might update the button message to thank the user, and present them with the options to see the results or hide the message. Currently this is not possible.

Ability to search all content (FOIA)
Sorry if this is already a feature (I'm a Mattermost noob) but I haven't found a way of doing this yet...
If we are going to implement this, we WILL need a way to search all content (Public/Private channels, Direct messages and Archived) for legal queries!
This is a basic requirement of all software we implement within Government!
Note: I am currently using the Team edition as a trial, so maybe it is a feature in the Enterprise version??

Remove team name restriction
Please remove the restriction for team names, because our company name starts with a number and we would like to have our first team to be named like our company name (name and URL).
This seems to be possible in the "GitLab Mattemost Team Edition" but not in the "Mattermost Enterprise Edition".
