Allow moving posts to, or between, threads
Currently, there is no way to move posts between threads. If you accidentally make a post not within a thread, or in the wrong thread, the only way to correct this is to delete the post and re-create it.
Even via the API, it only allows updating is pinned, message, has reactions, and props. No root id.
It would be nice to allow updating the "root_id" via the API. This allows moving posts to threads or between threads.

boards
An ability to preview documents within Boards similar to how documents can be previewed in channels (files). As a work around I currently export my PDF as images to allow myself and others to quickly view a document within a card without having to download an attachment and then view.

Control who's able to DM other members and who's not
Control the group members DM option with other members, maybe a new role that can only send messages in channels ?
This would be a great feature to increase security given some companies sensitive infos that shouldn't circulate around or just to stop any and all unneeded and unverified rumors from spreading privately3 votes -
Too many "image.png" files. Please make them identifiable.
Mattermost automatically stores all captured images as "image.png."
So, there are too many "image.png" files on all channels.If filename contains its datetime and the publisher's shortened ID like [Pete_230814-0848.png],
the user will be able to search the image file more easily.To be specific, it's a bit cumbersome to find a specific image file now.
Most people are seeking an image file directly from the recent file list through the view info icon(ⓘ) and voila, there're dozens of image.png files.
Although I've learned using following command works for that,
[:from:Somebody in:Somewhere image.png]

on MM android client: compress picture before upload (just like Signal)
Easy to understand. If i want my users stop to use Signal, MM-client should be able to compress image before upload.
I've seen so many posts on this must-have feature for years but with no result :(Thank you & regards,

When i share a photo to MM android client, the MM app should open
By instance, when i share my photo to Signal, Signal opens directly, so that should MM client do. Don't you think ?
thank you and regards

Auto SSO/SAML login
In a SSO environment, it would make sense when only one authentication provider is available, to auto redirect the user to the sso provider page, so that you dont have to click on the login button.
In my case, i use keycloak with an active directory and kerberos, so all windows users are automatically logged in with mattermost in autostart if they did not have to click on the button.

Discard "New Messages" annotation by pressing Esc
The "New Messages" annotation stays on even when the chat continues/the message is answered. I would prefer if it disappears when I answer, or if that is on purpose to at least have the possibility to discard the annotation by pressing the Esc button.

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.

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.

Support websockets on separate sub-domain
Cloudflare does not include support for websockets on its free accounts so they advise you to create a subdomain to be used exclusively for websockets and configure the DNS so that the websocket communication is not routed through their service. I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but I am hoping not very ;-)

iOS keyboard improvements
Currently both the iOS app and the Mobile view of mattermost (my local install is the last travis-ci build from a week or so ago) when you bring up the input box you are presented with a Send icon, on top of a Done button along with a Return on the actual keyboard. This from a user perspective is super confusing and unintuitive. I would suggest either completely removing the Send icon, or removing the Done text and that whole extra bar that ends up being drawn just to have it there. Also if at all possible changing return to…

make an admin be able to differ between inactive and disabled users
The problem of the current situation is, that an administrator yet is only able to set an user account status to "inactive". This means more a disabling of the user, because the user is in no longer able to log in. In fact, he is locked out.
It would be more appropriate to rename the status "inactive" to "disabled".A new status "inactive" should be introduced where a user is in fact using the featureset of a "team edition". No license is acuired for this user and he doesn't get any push notifications anymore until he logs in again. By…

make private chats able to authorize users based on ldap groups
In corporate Environments often closed discussions take place between persons whose users already exist within predefined ldap groups. For Mattermost it would make sense to authorize users for private channels using such existing ldap groups.

Make Up Arrow behavior configurable
When you press Up Arrow, your expectations of what will happen may differ. A user coming from Slack might expect the current behavior, where you are allowed to edit your last message. A user coming from IRC, however, would like expect to cycle through his last typed messages by pressing Up Arrow one or several times. And there's an existing suggestion that it cycles through slash commands.
There is only one Up Arrow button, so the best compromise will likely be to make it user configurable. This would of course also depend on the two latter options being implemented.

Filtering webhooks to process every post
I'd like to code up support for specifying remote filters that would get to process every post. When a post is sent to the server, it would get passed to the processing service(s), which would return a potentially modified message to get saved/displayed. It would also potentially trigger an incoming webhook that might add follow-on information. The specification of the "filtering webhooks" would be similar to that of outgoing webhooks. Would anyone else be interested in this?
