Recent updates to the way starred, chats, and channels are displayed

@PaStansberry 

Hello, 

 When you view a chat channel we reduce the size by adding a view all button below the channel. As shown below. 

 This will expand your starred searches of groups or users that you have added as "starred" contacts. 

I hope this helps. 

It really doesn’t, no.

im aware of the “View All” button. But what’s frustrating is that the starred category auto collapses, and the short list displayed seems to be dynamically driven somehow rather than static. And yet, somehow that dynamically displayed lost never seems to include who I need to chat with, so I’m CONSTANTLY having to click “View All” and dig through the list to find who I need.

I want the starred list to be:

• Persistent - Always displayed in the same way
• Static - A list of my favorites. All of them. Never partially hidden, and not constantly changing what is shown to me.
• Alphabetized

The “Chat” and “Channels” categories are frustrating too, but the starred list is my biggest challenge.

yes

I agree. It would be nice to have an "always show all" button or to remember the state (i.e. showing all or collapsed) persistently. It seems like the state is remembered if you close the app and leave it running in the background, but on restart it defaults back to collapsed. 

Also sorting options would be nice.

I also much preferred having my Starred contacts in their own list and NOT duplicated in the Direct Messages area. Much cleaner and easier to use. .

And btw, with all the bloatware added (apparently to make this more like Outlook) it takes far longer to load when I start up). Do what you do well and don't try to be everything to everyone. We all have Docs, Workflow, Tasks, Notes in other applications.
