    Cannot agree.

    All these posts sound like if Microsoft had forced them to add a subject to their chat messages.

    But posts in a channel are (in my world) not a quick message but something thought out and informative for the team. Often also starting a thread of chat messages below it.

    (Without a new subject line indeed)

    I would suggest to use a group chat instead for these complaining users. Maybe this helps?

    It is forced though. Users are forced to add an unnecessary subject or then use several more key commands or mouse movement to simply type in, "GOING ON BREAK".
    Subject should be OPTIONAL, not a REQUIREMENT to make a post.

    Utter non-sense to force users to do MORE work to do the SAME thing.

    Please remove the Subject line when creating posts in the 'new' Teams as it sucks **** and was a terrible idea.

    It went from clicking the post button, typing a post, then pressing enter.

    Now it is click post button, tab twice to get to the box to type a post, type post, then press ctrl+enter.

    Why would you take a simple process and make it pointlessly longer and add a subject line in a chat program like we're creating an email?

    Braindead i swear.

    100% agree.

    I agree 100% for Drdreme. This new update is devastating to our team's productivity. Please revert to original IMMEDIATELY. This is unacceptable.

    Will quote Drdreme's concise summary of the issue:

    "This subject line is cutting off photos and we need to click on "see more" to see the bottom of the photo. This is affecting our productivity and our work flow.

    Subject lines are unnecessary in POSTS.

    Subject lines are helpful in email ONLY.

    I know the subject line was a hidden feature in posts before. I don't know why they chose to bring this option to the forefront but it is certainly a productivity and work flow killer.

    Microsoft certainly did not get user feedback on these "new" features prior to deploying to everyone. This subject line should be OPTIONAL and a setting choice for the organization or by Team Channel.

    The recent updates to Teams have not been helpful to productivity."

    Worst decision for Teams yet, this is not an email. This needs to be changed ASAP, get rid of the subject line (it should be an option, not an always thing).
