Plex.tv has lost the "Sign In" button and the "Launch Plex" button after signing in

Previously when you went to the plex.tv site you were presented with a “Sign In” button that after you signed in turned into a “Launch Plex” button. Now, you just get a search box and further down the page “Go to the guide”.

This really diminishes the ease of use and value of the Plex service and as a lifetime subscriber I would like to see this reverted. I care about the content on my Plex servers, not whatever content Plex wants to attempt to monetize me with.

What URL are you using?

Using https://www.plex.tv/, I see the sign-in button:

FYI, you can go direct to the Plex Web interface: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/, bypassing the Plex home page. You can also configure Plex to auto sign in to Plex Web: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/web/general.

I’ve a shortcut to Plex Web on my bookmark bar and auto-sign in configured. One click and I’m at my Plex home page.

Note that Plex Web sets cookies to store login status and various settings. If you’re using a cookie blocker, whitelist Plex. Also, don’t clear Plex cookies when quitting the browser.
