You are too fast!! heheheh

Yes, we will give it a try to "compress" the tread display in the parent channel, turning it into a single line, with the small avatar version, like when you use RC in compress mode.

We were already working on the message box for the thread area, it is now live.

I am also uneasy with the work THREAD being the main word, I think we should use the wording in a way that REPLY is the main word, and even the ICON should be the REPLY icon all the time, and remove this THREAD icon altogether.

Please join us at https://threads-qa.rocket.chat to test the latest version of threads

@ggazzo we need to test this with one App installed and see if the app engine will not remove the new properties

Hi, where is the toggle to turn of threaded replies? It's a nice feature but tastes differ, so is it possible to turn it off?

@Korben3 as far as I recall it’s in the admin settings, section „threads“

Thanks, seems like the docs on rocket.chat/docs hasn't been updated yet.

@mrsimpson do you have an image of where to find this? It's for someone else that has rocket chat installed.

Is there somewhere to discuss the threading UI? We've tried it for a while and the consensus is that it makes channels more difficult to read. For example:

The font is too small and the interleaving of threads makes it difficult to follow any of the discussion.

I think if we avoid/minimize posting notifications on the main thread this will make it cleaner. We can have a dedicated view to let users notified on what is new on the threads/discussions they are following

Not forcing thread replies being sent to the main channel will make things look cleaner. There is a feature request for that. You can upvote it.
