Loomio bugs, issues and feedback

@Sam Rossiter great to hear you're using Loomio already, and with the chatbot integration.

We don't have plans to make threads optional at this stage, but some stuff in the pipeline could improve the experience a little for you: showing the current/recent polls card under the group description.

Then with starting threads disabled for members it should feel fairly poll specific.

@Robert Guthrie Sure, I have it integrated in Mattermost as a #decisions channel. Most discussion & small decisions happen in Mattermost. When there is a 'formal' decision to make we do that in Loomio. Someone opens a consent process in Loomio (which pings the #decisions channel). Essentially we have threaded tools already, we don't wish to duplicate them.

@Sam Rossiter would you like to tell me about how you're using Loomio, or intend to, so I understand why someone would want to remove the threads function?

@Robert Guthrie OK thanks

@Sam Rossiter Sorry, it's not currently possible to remove the "Threads" panel from the interface, but you can stop members from creating threads.

It's on the roadmap to show current proposals on front of the group page, however.

As a self-hosted instance admin I would like to remove the 'threads' functionality from the user interface completely. Is that possible?

yes, it helps but's it's not a sure thing because our threads are variously active.

@Julie Nevin thanks for the feedback. They are not easy fixes, so I'll have a think about it. Does ordering by Newest usually help to bring open threads first?

A request for searching threads: when I search threads for a key word, the results aren't actually that helpful. It's usually quicker for me to scroll manually through the group to find what I want. I'd like it to:

• Have an option to only search open threads (maybe have that by default, and enable us to include closed threads if we want)

• Give extra weight to the thread's title when determining 'best match'

@Julie Nevin thanks. Fixed this just now.
