Per request from Luke, I am breaking up the suggestions from this thread:

I'll add additional information for each topic as needed

By default, if you are looking a given series, it doesn't always make sense to have the series on a scroller as opposed to primary image thumbnails. A good example of some series where this becomes a problem are series in excess of 7 seasons such as Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad or Power Rangers. All these series can end up being fairly monotonous to scroll through to find what you're looking for. This should be something that can be set in User Templates or by the user themselves.

Hi, sorry i don't quite understand this. Can you please elaborate more? Thanks.

For series that have a bunch of season (5 or more, at least) --- on the Admin Panel, User Panel, and (hopefully soon to be) Group Panel I should be to adjust the system to go from this:

 

 

To this:

 

 

At some point (have no clue what version it was) --- all series rolled over to the second image if they had enough seasons.

There are a number of series where I feel its much more practical to view them as shown in the second image instead of the first. Power Rangers, Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad are several that spring to mind.

Heck, looking at the image, I think it would be super practical to just add right arrow as an icon next to the series and allow you to click on it to unroll all the seasons to see them all at once as pictured in the second image.

I second this. I have my sports events as TV series, so I have 52 seasons of AFL, 49 seasons of NBA, 40 seasons of NBL and 34 seasons of NFL. Scorlling one line horizontally is an absolute pain, especially on the web. Being able to scroll vertically would be much, much better.
