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, Flytta citatkedjan till 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. Behåll lästa trådar i listan decides how long a thread stays there after you have read it: Bara medan de är olästa, I 3 timmar, I 24 timmar, I 3 dagar or I 7 dagar.

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. Rensa tills någon svarar 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, Oläst svar appears above the composer and takes you straight to that thread. Gå till olästa does the same for a new message in the channel itself, and Nya meddelanden marks where you had got to.

⟦Det gick inte att öppna tråden — meddelandet ligger för långt tillbaka i kanalens historik.⟧ — 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: Tar inte emot nya meddelanden just nu. Återansluter… It reconnects on its own, and what is on screen stays readable meanwhile. You should never be reading a stale channel that looks live.
