Forums > Site Announcements > Don't edit your game collections right now [UPDATED]

The feature is being revamped. I'll let you know when things are working as intended again. Thanks!

Okay, you should all be good to edit your game collections again as normal. The difference now is that people with larger collections will now see their total counts tallied correctly (previously, the tally over counted in some cases). The page displaying your collection should also load several times more quickly in general, though you'll be more likely to notice it if you maintain a large collection.

Though the interface remains largely unchanged at present, this was actually one of the biggest changes I've made on the site in recent years because collections are now tracked very, very differently from how they were before. In addition to making things more stable while reducing site load, this will make it possible to introduce new features in the future that rely on a more manageable framework.

Unfortunately, the dramatic change means that some people may see slight errors in their collections. I tried to minimize this--which is why everything took as long as it did--and I don't think anyone who has managed their own collection in the last 10 years will encounter any big issues (or even any issues at all), but it's something to watch.
