I imagine I have but can’t prove it, lol. I’m just glad I don’t care.
This really needs to be implemented! 5/10 votes are jut WAY TOO FEW!!!
Also, if someone creates a topic, a vote from their account should automatically be tallied, WITHOUT it counting towards their allowed votes. At very least, let us vote for our own topic WITHOUT it counting towards our vote count.
The whole limiting of vote counts really does NOT make sense, unless your product was perfect, which unfortunately it is not, and has gone backwards in that regard with the latest UI. I understand not allowing someone to vote more that once per feature request, but limiting?
@elan You say you want to acknowledge us, you say our opinions count, but you limit our input by limiting our vote counts. @OttoKerner has said this would be reviewed and could easily be changed. He also said feature requests are “just suggestions”. If that is the case, then why limit them. Time to review it again!
Thank You!

LOL !!!
Votes are not the only way we look and listen. The limited number of votes was decided upon a while ago just so we would force people to think carefully about their top 5 requests. If you had 1 million votes, each one would matter much less

Since we got you here. Tell us truly, do you(PlexTeam) actually use these votes to determine if a feature gets implemented?
And, not to put you on the spot but… Has any feature been implemented because of votes?
Collections spring to mind.
Probably many more but I know was a result of a feature request.
Of not having them?
You lost me. Amazingly duplicate requests get purged. But there were two feature requests for them back in the day.
Not sure why not having them would be a request… They don’t exist unless you set them up.
You kidding. I got(had) 7000 of them, lol.
I only have the ones I want which is why I never used the auto collections.
But either way you asked Elan a question and gave one example.
Sorry if you hoped to hear different.
It’s one of the things we use to gauge interest, yes!
Quick pass:
- Remember position for audiobooks (we made it a library preference for now)
- Gapless playback.
- Collections (as mentioned above).
- Linux hw accel (partially there, more coming).
(And I can count a few more which are in various stages of design and being worked on.)

Aah Gapless playback. Another one I voted for.
Oh snap. Your post about collections was a direct reply to me… I didn’t realize that. Didn’t see the username/reply icon on the post. My bad.
Test of reply. Just a test.
Totally disagree with that statement. If we hit vote, it is because we would like said feature. Some people might only want 5 features added, some might want 25, depends how/why they use the software. Overall, I would want ALL customer feedback wherever I could get it. By limiting the votes, you are NOT getting the whole picture.
I still think you should implement marking feature requests something like this in the forums. That way, we can have some sort of acknowledgement/plan. If you insist on limiting votes (I still stand that 5 IS JUST NOT ENOUGH), give us our votes back after a feature hits “In Development” or “Denied”.
- “Acknowledged” (showed they cared enough to read the request, usually updated it within a week to another status)
- “In Consideration” (Showed they would review it further and then maybe put it up to a vote)
- “In Development” (showed that they though it was a good idea and they were working on it for a future release)
- “Denied” with a reason (this could be because it was not possible with their platform, did not fit their vision, or whatever, but it was acknowledged and shown it was not happening AND WHY. Not left just hanging there for the customer to wonder)
- “Already Requested” with a link to the request and current status
To me, it is truly amazing in today’s day and age, that a company would alienate their customer base the way you guys do. Whether it is the new forum setup, the new UI or the general lack of understand towards your customers. It truly feels that you guys either love drama, or are just trying to make things difficult. Either way, it is bad business.

We’re getting a specific picture, which is the handful of things which are the most important to each user. I appreciate there are many different voting systems, each with different characteristics, and we wanted people to value their votes.
That is a totally fair point, I’m not entirely sure how that works inside our forum system but I’ll ask about that.
I can assure you that neither of those is the case.
And yet earlier in the thread you had no such issues realising that? So, whatever!
I’ve chatted with the support staff, and we’ve decided that it’s a good idea, and we’ll be closing out some of the threads with “completed” or “not currently planned” and a few other statuses, which should return the votes (let us know if it doesn’t).
Thanks for the suggestion!

I see your point but I saw it as something else. Can’t fix stupid. Next time I’ll do better.
