Threads: talking under a message
A thread is a small conversation under one message. Replies gather under that message and don't fill up the stream. Threads work in project channels, direct messages and groups.
Open a thread
Hover over the message and press Reply in thread, or right-click the message and choose the same line. Pressing R while the pointer is over the message opens it too.
Write a reply
The thread panel opens on the right. Type in the Reply to thread box and send. If you want your reply in the stream as well, tick Also send to the conversation before sending; in a channel the box names the channel, like Also send to #general.
Close the panel
Close thread or Esc closes the panel. Drag the panel's left edge to make it wider or narrower.
Following a thread
When you reply in a thread, you start following it. Whoever wrote the first message, and anyone mentioned in it or in a reply, follows it too. You are notified when a thread you follow gets a new reply. The Follow button at the top of the panel starts following; when it says Following, a click stops it.
Finding threads
A message with replies shows how many there are and when the last one came; click it to open the thread. Once you follow a thread in a project, a Threads row appears in the project's column: your threads are there with their new replies counted, and the count turns red when a reply mentions you. Threads in direct messages and groups are under the Threads filter in Messages.
Something went wrong?
Reply in thread doesn't show up.
Nudge, wink and call lines can't have threads. While the project is paused or archived, nobody can write in its channels, threads included.
There is no Threads row in the column.
The row appears once you follow a thread in that project. Reply to a message in a thread, or follow one.
A thread sends me too many notifications.
Press Following at the top of the panel; on the Threads page, each thread also has an Unfollow button.
