Direct messages can now be group conversations of up to ten people — start one from the main sidebar, the floating DM dock, the expanded DM sidebar, or the empty-state CTA when you have no chat selected. The creator can rename the group inline, add or remove members, and transfer ownership; trying to leave as owner now opens a transfer-ownership picker instead of dead-ending on an error. @-mention autocomplete from server chat works inside group DMs the same way, and the mentioned member actually gets a notification. Each group shows a multi-avatar mosaic in the header and sidebar tile, with a distinctive one-tall-left + two-stacked-right layout for three-person groups so they stand out from 1:1s. Mobile gets bottom-sheet modals that ride under the iOS keyboard, larger touch targets, and always-visible action buttons on touch devices. The DM sidebar now retries on its own after a network blip with exponential backoff plus an immediate retry when the browser comes back online, instead of sticking on a failure banner until a page refresh. Discord notifications also got three polish fixes: @mentions render as readable usernames instead of raw tokens, the message body no longer prints twice above the quoted preview, and pasted image links are collapsed to a short [image] placeholder instead of leaking bare URLs into the embed. Member profile cards now open from anywhere DMs are available — including the dashboard and escrow pages — and sit above the floating DM dock instead of slipping behind it. Banned accounts show a BANNED banner with the reason on both their public profile page and their member profile card. The headline name on a public profile is now tinted by the user's highest colored server role. The hover quick-react emoji row reflects your most-used emojis as you keep reacting, instead of staying frozen on the same selection for hours.

Direct messages now support group conversations of up to ten people — start one from a "New group" button in the main sidebar, the floating DM dock, the expanded DM sidebar, or the empty-state CTA when you have no chat selected, instead of being limited to 1:1 DMs

The group creator (owner) can rename the group inline from the header, add and remove members from the members panel, and transfer ownership to anyone in the group, instead of having no way to manage the roster

Owners trying to leave a group now see a transfer-ownership picker that selects a successor, confirms, transfers, and then leaves in one flow, instead of dead-ending on a "Transfer ownership first" error

An Add-member shortcut now sits directly in the group header next to Leave so adding someone is one click, instead of being tucked two clicks deep behind the members panel

Typing @ inside a group DM now opens a member picker filtered by what you typed — arrow keys navigate, Enter or Tab inserts, Escape closes — and the mentioned member receives an actual notification, instead of leaving you to type the name from memory

Group conversations show a multi-avatar mosaic in the header and sidebar tile so you can tell groups apart at a glance — three-person groups use a distinctive one-tall-left + two-stacked-right layout, four-and-up uses a 2×2 grid

Group conversations show inline system messages for create, add, remove, leave, rename, and ownership transfer events, each with its own icon and accent color, instead of having state changes happen invisibly

Group DM surfaces are fully optimized for mobile — bottom-sheet transfer-ownership and create modals that ride under the iOS keyboard, larger action buttons, always-visible Edit, Add, and Kick affordances on touch, and a 16px rename input so iOS Safari doesn't zoom on focus

Rows in the group members panel now respond to clicks — left-click opens that member's profile card, right-click opens a menu with View Profile, Block, and Unblock — instead of presenting the roster as a read-only list

Member profile cards now open from anywhere on the site DMs are available — including the dashboard, escrow pages, and your profile page — instead of only being reachable from the chat server view

Banned accounts now show a BANNED banner with the reason on their public profile page and their member profile card, instead of hiding their ban status
