Create threads from messages
When there are a large number of members in a team it would be nice to be able to create a thread from a single message. This pulls that particular conversation out of the main flow of messages so the conversation doesn't get lost and can be continued by only the applicable parties.

When is this going to be launching? It appears to be "planned" but have not seen any additional updates here, as this would optimize the flow of work in ring central messaging monumentally.

Reply to a message in a collapsible sub-thread

I'd love the "quote" feature to only include the first line of the message and link back to the original message to see the full content. The log gets pretty clogged up when a message is very long, and people keep quoting multiple quotes after the original message. It would be great if you had a "reply" feature in addition to "quote" (or instead of it) that allowed you to respond within a message in a conversation style, similar to Facebook. This would allow you to collapse messages with many responses and expand when needed. Active conversations with new replies would then appear at the bottom of the list as unread once a new reply is created. This is particularly helpful when we post celebratory messages for birthdays and anniversaries that result in an onset of multiple gifs and comments without missing the original message (or having to scroll back up dozens of responses to find it).

At the current time it’s not enough to answer with a smile on a team (chat) message. A person who wrote a message, cannot understand what you meant while answering with an emoji to his message. If the whole team shares an idea via “Quote”, there is a possibility of losing some messages and there will be a dozen of important messages in the your team chat (which are unimportant)That’s why I want to propose a “Comment (Thread) for a team (chat) messages” feature.The main idea of this feature is:Add “Comments” (Threads) icon for a group message in the right side of a messageAfter click on it, text field appear (The the same as we have for emoji)When the comment (thread) was added to a message, information will be displayed near a message as a dot of some color. (It should be displayed on the right side from the status and “Guest” info)After clicking on the dot, the comment (thread) will be displayed. The comment (thread) should be surrounded with the color of the chosen dot.As a result we can add some unimportant comments to your messages without annoying other team members. If you want to notify a person you still can use “Quote” optionNotes: We can limit comments (threads) option e.g. 10 comments (threads) is maximumComments (threads) symbols size also can be limited as Comments (Threads) it’s just for notifying.Comments (threads) should have an Edit option.Comments (threads) option can be enabled for the certain team (chat)

This idea cleans up the chat when there are a lot of responses to a specific chat post.

A threading feature is extremely needed. Often important needs are buried in all the chat responses.
A thread would allow the team to discuss a topic while a new one can be brought up.

This would be an awesome feature if you could make it like Slack that we can reply to a thread of conversation.

Like slack, create a thread on one message to continue the conversation only on that particular message. Keeps the rest of the team chat clean and you won't miss messages in between multiple conversations.

Threading is a great feature that allows people to have multiple conversations at once in the same channel. This is a pretty common feature in messaging tools now, and Glip should support it.
