Hi All It’s been a while since we’ve made any serious changes to the Plex Forums, so we wanted to let you know ahead of time of some changes we are planning to make. Mainly, removing a handful of subcategories that just aren’t used much or they’re redundant since the tag system covers them. Removi…

All planned changes are complete. If you would like to change the categories you individually see here you can edit them. [PlexForumandInterfacelayout-Admin-PlexForums] Similarly for tags [PlexForum] You can change the default lander page on your profile preferences at https://forums.plex.tv/…

We already have tags for different players. Like playstation android-tv You can see all existing tags here https://forums.plex.tv/tags

That’s a valid opinion. But… What about it don’t you like? Is it the colors? The iconography for the categories, the shapes of the modals, or something else?

Themes in Discourse forums don’t change the layout, just the colors really. Users do have an option already on which top view they want to see if not the default at https://forums.plex.tv/my/preferences/interface [PlexForum] [Interface-Preferences-BigWheel-PlexForum]

I can’t seem to find my tracked\watched topics to manage them. They used to be accessible in this section: [Screenshot 2026-04-25 at 13.29.58] I’ve dug around all my profile and settings areas and can’t find my list of tracked\watched topics anywhere. Am I blind or are they not listed anymore?
