Threads

A thread is a conversation hanging off one message. Use Svar i tråd on the message you are responding to.

Why it matters. In a busy channel, three unrelated discussions interleaved are unreadable an hour later. Threads keep each one whole, and keep the main channel to headlines.

If it is already a mess, Flytt sitatkjeden til en tråd lifts the back-and-forth out of the channel and into a thread where it belongs.

Following. Replying to a thread, or being mentioned in one, means you follow it — new replies reach you without you watching the channel. Everything you follow appears in your activity view: Mentions, your activity queue, and search

Threads in your sidebar. Active threads are listed so you can get back to them. Behold leste tråder i listen decides how long a thread stays there after you have read it: Bare mens de er uleste, I 3 timer, I 24 timer, I 3 dager or I 7 dager.

Short keeps the list clean; long means a slow conversation someone answers tomorrow is still where you left it. If you keep losing threads, lengthen it rather than blaming your memory. Fjern til noen svarer drops one by hand.

Finding the reply somebody just left. A thread does not move up the channel when it gets a reply, so in a busy channel a new answer can sit hundreds of messages above where you are reading. When you have unread replies and nothing unread at the top level, Ulest svar appears above the composer and takes you straight to that thread. Gå til uleste does the same for a new message in the channel itself, and Nye meldinger marks where you had got to.

⟦Kunne ikke åpne tråden — meldingen ligger for langt tilbake i kanalens historikk.⟧ — the parent message has scrolled beyond the channel's loaded history. Use search to find it and open the thread from there: Mentions, your activity queue, and search

If the conversation stops updating, a banner says so: Mottar ikke nye meldinger akkurat nå. Kobler til igjen… It reconnects on its own, and what is on screen stays readable meanwhile. You should never be reading a stale channel that looks live.
