[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 95396, member: 10723"] since the [B]Plugins[/B] and the Plugin [B]Development[/B] forums were pretty much the same. the team decided to merge them. all posts/threads from the [B]plugins forum [/B]are now in the [B]Plugin Developement forum[/B]. this has allready been asked [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=13414"]::here::[/URL] ;) they are empty because the new structure is only a few days old. how should they be full of threads right now :S No. thats a very bad idea. A index page MUST be as short as possible. because ppl do not like to scroll pages to the end. The old structure was much longer. And this caused that many ppl just posted in any forum. Now you see "[I]aaah this forum is about Music, great i have a question for Music. lets see whats in there[/I]" With the old structure you had to search [B]ONE [/B]forum [B]with thousands of threads[/B]. And if you found one thread, it could be that it is [B]+20 pages long [/B](i.e. BASS thread) Same for support. [INDENT]Many support threads got buried after a few hours because many other threads were started too. As you may know, many developers were [B]focusing on one feature [/B](i.e. MyTV, MyMusic ect.). Support was not that easy, because of the amount of different support threads started every day in [B]ONE[/B] forum. Now the main features have their own sections in the forum. Which means if a user posts his support question in the correct section. (i.e. MyMusic) he should also receive a response quicker, because ppl who are spending much/most time with MyMusic will be browsing this MyMusic forums very frequently. And since the support forum is in the same section, they will [B]SEE[/B] your support question. Same goes for the developer(s) who spends the most time on the Music part of MediaPortal. They are short of time because they/we do everything in their [B]spare time[/B]. Now they only have to monitor [B]ONE[/B] section where they can give support and talk about this specific feature they have focused on.[/INDENT] Exactly the same is valid for the other subforums like [B]Improvement Suggestions[/B], [B]Tips and Tricks[/B]. ect.! Anyone realised the benefit of the new structure now? ;) Anyway. I know that some ppl do not like changes in general. But i also know that i can not please everyone. Give the new structure some time and a chance ;) We will see if the current amount of subforums will stay, be expanded or be reduced. For now this struture will stay. :) [/QUOTE]
