can someone quickly explain to me how the album collections work? is there a way of sharing your list with someone? im a little stuck...probably obvious.

Log in, go to the band's page. It lists the albums on the band page. Click on the album that you own, and on the album page there should be an 'add to your collection' option. And to share, just view your collection and copy/paste the link from the address bar I guess.

You can add albums to your collection by using the link/button on the individual album pages. You can edit it (add notes next to a given album, delete items you don't have anymore, etc.) from a link in the menu bar on the site's front page.

Other users have the option of looking at your collection from a sub-link while viewing your profile.

ok....it was that sublink part i was unaware of thanks.

I want to add new albums to my collection, but the button is no where to be found. Can someone help me with this?

Log in. You're probably not logged in, the link naturally only exists if the database knows into which user collection it's supposed to add stuff.

I am logged in, but I still can't find the button to add albums to my collection.

probably you are next moron from US :]

Watch it. Poland has a worse track record proportionately than the US and Canada as far as site morons go...and that's quite the impressive feat (not to say that there aren't a few countries that easily top Poland in that regard).

The link you're looking for appears on the actual album page, in the upper-right portion of the entry (above the cover image, if the album has one). The only reason you wouldn't see it there would be that you aren't logged in. Note that being logged in to this forum does not mean you are also logged in to the Archive itself.

I mean I am logged in to the archives, but when I go to the album page the add to my collection link isn't there or isn't shown!
