# Slack

Did you set `RemoteNickFormat`?
Try adding `RemoteNickFormat="<{NICK}>"`
## Gitter
### Messages deleted on gitter aren't deleted on other bridges
# Gitter
## Messages deleted on gitter aren't deleted on other bridges
Gitter doesn't send delete events to their API, so we can't pick those up.
When you delete a message on another bridge slack, they will be deleted on gitter though. (matterbridge can delete messages on gitter, but we do not get an event when a message on gitter is deleted)
So slack <=> gitter bridge, deleting messages when on gitter doesn't get deleted on slack.
On the same bridge, deleting messages on slack gets also deleted on gitter.

### Seeing id's instead of usernames on the other bridges ?
## Seeing id's instead of usernames on the other bridges ?
If you want roles/groups mentions to be shown with names instead of ID, you'll need to give your bot the "Manage Roles" permission.
### Can I join the bot to a server I don't own ?
## Can I join the bot to a server I don't own ?
You need permissions on the server to be able to join the bot, if you're allowed to here's how you do it:
Click on the bot here: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me
Click the "Generate OAUTH" button, copy the URL and paste it into your address bar, open the page and you'll see the drop down menu for adding the bot to any server you have permissions on.
## Telegram
### Matterbridge is not relaying messages from Telegram
## Files/images not getting uploade ?
If you are using the discord webhook and the discord token, the webhook will be used for posting messages.
The webhook can't do native upload of files/images to discord.
Possible solution:
* Disable the webhook and use only the token. (you'll loose the avatar/nick changing)
* Setup a [mediaserver](Mediaserver-setup-[advanced]) this way matterbridge will upload the files/images to the mediaserver and the webhook will post the URL of the files/images on the mediaserver.

## "version not supported error"
By default matterbridge tries https to connect to your mattermost setup.
If you're using a test setup for mattermost, this will probably listen on http and on port 8065.
