Errant6 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Maybe my search-fu is failing me but I can't find a Collections-dedicated Nexus Forum where I/we can discuss the creating, uploading, editing and updating Collections. I've stumbled into one with threads locked to discussing specific Collections, the wiki is somewhat useful, and I can find scattered threads with an overarching forum searches, but there seems to be a distinct lack of somewhere easy to find that we can discuss making the most out of this new Nexus feature. In short, it seems quite hard to find information that we can't deduce from the sometimes obtuse basics. Is there actually a forum I've overlooked? (If so please point me in the right direction) When can we expect one? In the absence of a categorisation tool with Vortex (that doesn't wipe or reset every time a bee sneezes) I've found draft collections a great way to organise my personal mod preferences, but I have questions I can't find the answers to in the wiki and had no response to suggestions and bug reports I've locked my collections page. I had around 400 mods working nicely together for a while before I messed something up I couldn't figure out and had to start again. I get that Collections are still in development, but it would be great to have somewhere the Collection-inclined community can discuss the quirks and help each other make the most out of this option. Who knows, it might rev up enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Most discussion is in the Collections Discord for now, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errant6 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Tha Most discussion is in the Collections Discord for now, I believe. Thank you. I guess I should have expected a discord, but I'm a bit old fashioned and find forums MUCH easier to navigate and comprehend, especially when trying to follow a particular question/topic over time. Guess I'll dig up the link and stumble around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll dig up the link and stumble around. Thank you Zanerat. I had come across the collection topics forum, but each thread seems locked to discussion of a particular collection, while I was hoping for one where the collection *system* could be discussed. It seems the trend towards Discord marches on, despite (IMHO) this style of forum being much easier to track and understand discussions on topics.

Discord is way too chatty. Needed support info gets buried almost immediately in busy discords. As far as I can tell, there are no discussion topics available to make it easier. Only sub discords.

Pickysaurus Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 We could look at adding something like this, but the big question is where to put it. The forum is currently structured with siloed sections for each game, so you could always post it under the game forum with a tag for Collections?

showler Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Since it's about the Collections feature itself rather than a specific game, I'd say a subforum in the "software" category, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 a forum next to game-specific forums - but you're 100% going to get posts in there for any person's collection, rather than for collections themselves.but - you need to make it prominent.discord is s#*! for stuff like this (i actually can't think of a single reason to use discord for ANY kind of support/discussion topic) - you want some sort of permanent record for people to refer to, which can become a viable knowledge base.
