# UPDATE:

**This extension is no longer maintained.**  

Because of latest changes to Slack's frontend, the `message sender`'s details are not attached to every message. Which means, to check if a certain message was sent by a particular sender, we will have to backtrack till a message where the sender's information was available. Doing this for every message will be inefficient and will lead to unnecessary CPU usage for the User.  

Therefore, I will be archiving the extension now :cry:





Hide messages from specific users, make Slack a Happy Place Again! :grin:


## Install:



Install Happy Slack! from [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/happy-slack-hide-messages/mjingehmnkofkklkdlipioiinepjghlo).

## Features:

1. Hide messages from any User

2. Hide messages from any bot

3. Optionally allow messages to be hidden only from DMs

## How To Use:

1. Click on the extension icon or navigate to extension options.

2. Enter the `ID` of the user/bot you want to block. **NOTE:** This ID is not the slack handle the user/bot has, but the unique ID that slack assigns to every User/Bot. 

3. You can get the ID by:

    1. Click on the user's/bot's name/photo from any channel

    2. Select **View Profile**

    3. The user/bot's profile will open in the side bar on the right hand side. Click on the **downwards arrow** icon besides **Message**.

    4. Select **Copy Member ID**

4. You can block multiple users or bots by specifying their User IDs separated by `,`.

5. Make sure you want to make Slack a happy place again.

6. Save!
