Something is happening with this thread.
It is getting new posts.
The posts get listed as the latest in the forum view.
But the thread never moves to the top of the forum.
Has something happened to assure that it will drift down and eventually of the top pages?

Well, Iâm definitely hearing your frustration loud and clear. Pretty sure thereâs nothing I can say here to help that, so Iâm going to bow out of this thread for now.
Yep, I actually figured you werenât coming back to even acknowledge there are frustrations, Elan. That seems to be the history with members of the Team, from past experiences. Drop in, and then run out when asked for hard data to support the Teamâs direction⊠It seems to be the norm the last few months.
Oh well, enough worrying over something I canât change. All I can do is move forward and hope that the Plex Gods shine on us poor users and actually start working on Feature Requests again.

Itâs called control, the modâs have done this before with other topics that are critical of Plex Inc.
They donât want any one else to add their views, you know what they say - â Out of sight, out of mind.â

Wow, thereâs a lot of misunderstanding.
Tends to happen when there is lack of communication.
Thanks for jumping in the thread to answer, but itâs always the same complaining and always the same answers⊠Yet we donât see the results.
I donât expect the Plex team to become more open or publish a road map, you had ample time to so that and didnât⊠But you have to realize there will always be a vocal part of this community that will complain because they donât get solutions to their problems, or clear answers to their questions.

Wow talk about censorship @elan you need to undo whatever you guys did to move the thread down out of view. Thatâs dishonest and not cool. Are users not allowed to have critical discussions of Plex? After all this is not meant to be a bashing thread and never was intended to be.
Seeing what many of the users think about the direction you are headed would seem like a beneficial thing. Especially coming from users whoâve been here a very long time.
From my understanding, the forum software automatically âburiesâ threads that are deemed unconstructive due to the number of dislikes/wtfâsâŠof which this thread has many. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Seems to my count that the insightfuls and likes far outweigh the dislikes and WTFâs by a large amount!
AgreedâŠbut I would imagine the algorithm is more complex than a static number of dislikes/wtfâs. My point is that if the mods really wanted to âcensorâ this threadâŠthey probably would have locked or deleted it rather than actively suppress it while simultaneously letting people voice their outrage about it.

Iâve seen some threads with tons more WTFâs and dislikes than this one that still jump back to the top of the forum when a post is made. How many WTFâs or dislikes does it take for this to happen if thatâs indeed what occurred?

I have seen that pointed out as well but in this case I do not believe it. I think the Plex deities took action to suppress this thread hoping that no one would notice. They failed and some of us did notice.
They need to man up and admit it as a mistake and retract that action. It is cowardly not to do so.
I read that this is now active again so I will put a post here to test and say that Plex has responded correctly to the improper sinking of this thread.
Have asked a mod to close the other topic https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/216870/recent-design-choices-by-plex-resurrection#latest as running two topics for the same subject rather silly and does not focus discussions.

So, please, remind us how many votes the new search function had on itâs requests? Can you link to the posts? How many votes did the new Discovery get in itâs request? Again, can we get a link to that request, too? As much as I like the OM feature, Iâm still wanting to see the Feature Request for that one, too. Iâm sure you have counts on it as well?
Because I made the request to see discovery on Plex/Web iâll chime in. There were 2, from me and Cayars, last time I looked. Havenât looked since because it getâs berried rather quickly.
http://forums.plex.tv/discussion/158815/implemented-feature-request-discovery-mode-plexweb#latest
Yup, still 2.
"Maybe allow us to hide and arrange it like the other areas? " This was obviously ignored.
My frustrations are similar MikeG6.5. Just thought Iâd add my 2 cents to the matter. Iâve seen, and can quite easily pull up a few areaâs where design decisions have not been given a reason as to why. Horizontal scrolling for one, If Iâve missed it somewhere then feel free to point it out, but why!? I donât get how this is a feasible way to view large media libraries like you know a lot of us have.
There use to be someone going around the forums find all the 0 reply threads as well, and at least giving a reply. Has this stopped recently? or has it just become too unmanageable? I frequent the sub reddit quite a lot and peoples opinions of the forums there are they just get ignored.
So this feature was implemented following two likes on your feature request, come on!

Scrolling horizontally makes no sense at all, IMO. We read vertically from left to right, top to bottom. Now with Plex, we have to read left to right and then scroll the same way. It seems counter-intuitive.
Start at the top of the page, just as every other web site, magazine, book or anything else we read does, and scroll down as we need or want to view different content.
Some say this might be easier to navigate with certain devices, but itâs so damned frustrating to have to remember things are different than how we all learned to read to begin with.
And yeah⊠2 âLikesâ and the feature gets made, when there are features out there 2+ years old with a great many times that number of votes still waiting? Road Map! Just reinforcing the point of view some of us have already expressed.

We hear you loud and clear, weâre moving away from that.

YESSSSssssss⊠(Two or three releases ago would not be soon enough - Thanx) 
One manâs meat is another manâs poison and all that⊠I like the horizontal scrolling.
I will resist the temptation to complain endlessly about it though once itâs gone 
Horizontal scrolling was a design choice by Plex and not based on any user requirement. It was based on the fact that that is how Netflix et al work and so Plex was mirroring that.
This was confirmed by Plex when Roku first went that way.
We already know that PMP will revert as the UI team have confirmed that (along with having 3 rows). Hopefully Elanâs comment above means this will also be rolled out to the other clients too.

But if you truly hate the official player app Plex has developed, you can write your own. Plex provides the API to access PMS.This does not just relate to one official player app, itâs all of the current official client apps and now PlexWeb!
As a âRoku userâ you must have noticed from that forum section that there are more âhatersâ of the ânewâ Roku client than âloversâ, the same can be seen in every forum section for the official Plex clients.
Itâs a job job that some of us keep the unofficial Plex clients going, two of the best Plex clients being OpenPHT and Rasplex, now both from the Rasplex team. Now that we are able to change PHT we have fixed a lot of long standing issues and provided much needed new functionality to keep driving forward the best Plex experience for the â10 foot eraâ as well as satisfying the need for a PC/Mac based media player.
If you donât like where Plex Inc is going stick with Rasplex/OpenPHT.
But then, Iâm biased!
Regards
I for one cannot wait for OpenPHT to implement all the scaling Kodi 16 Jarvis has, with OpenPHT 1.6.0. Glad there are people out there maintaining projects.
