[Solved] HELP ! I’m a noob i_i !
Hello there ♥ !
This is my first post here and while I wanted to organize my whole backlog before poking into the discussions, I happen to have some problems so I have yet to be done with the whole organization part.
First of all, I can’t find for the life of me the link to return to the place where you organize your backlog by dragging and dropping each item into one of the five base categories.
Here is a screenshot of what I mean:
I clicked literally everywhere without finding back the page once I was done with it the first time. I get that it’s only a “first time” sort of thing, but I wasn’t done with the “won’t play” section and the drag and drop part was making things easier than it seems to be now.
My second problem is related to the lists, while I created two of them so far (Currently Playing & Backlog Priority), when I go under “My Games” and click on the pencil to add / change the category, those lists don’t show at all.
I also checked on the list view as indicated in this tutorial, but nothing described appears: There is no research functions or other catégories / list appearing anywhere, so I have no idea how I’m supposed to add games into my lists.
That’s it for now, thanks for reading ♥ !
Hey! Happy to see you here! \o/
Ok, first of. Klick on your icon upper right corner. Then you should see the list right underneath it. With:
X Games (+Y not categorized yet)
A% never played
B% unfinished
C%Beaten
D% Completed
E% won’t play
Klick on the “not categorized”. It’ll bring you to the page you’re looking for :)
Secondly your lists.
So your lists have nothing to do with the general sorting we did before that. The sorting beforehand is just to put them in a current progress state, yk?
Your lists are for the more detailed sorting.
You can access them by either going on your profile page and scrolling a bit down. They are on the right side underneath the blaeo progress sorting (I’ll just call it that from now on, ok?).
Now you can click on the lists, go on sorting and type the game titels to find the games you wanna add. Easy peasy.
Later on you can not only search trough all your games, but maybe pick an already made list and take the game from that list and move it to another. (For Example I have a unplayed and a done list. So once a game is finished, I go to my done list, search from there in the unplayed list and move the game directly to the done list. That way I don’t have to organize two lists, which is super neat.)
Ah, right. How to add games:
So you have the lists titel: Currently playing
Next comes the amount of games on that list: 0 games.
Next is the pen symbol: Here you can change the lists info and stuff
And the next one is the one you’re looking for: Click on the two arrows and you can start sorting games into the list! \o/
The others are only how the list is… uh… shown. I sometimes need my lists as a table, so I can see in what other lists my games are, so I click around on that. But that’s not important right now ;)
Hope that helped a bit. If you have more questions: Holler and I’ll come around ;)
Welcome to the site! :)
For you first problem - https://i.imgur.com/iyn0T5S.png
For your second problem, if you want to add a game to your custom list, first you open the list by going to your profile and finding it on right side and then clicking this button to add games - https://i.imgur.com/3BaOWEZ.png
Thank you SO MUCH for your help, seeing the pictures helped me a bunch, I thought I was completely blind x_x !
Welcome!
Thank you ♥ !
Hello and welcome here! :D
I am not sure I can add anything more than what was said already, just that: have fun here! :3
I’ll do my best, thanks !
Ah, it’s a shame that the image links in Tso’s old guide are broken, that certainly makes the guide difficult to follow. Seems like people have already got you covered, but one more tip regarding your lists: click the arrow in the top-right next to your avatar, choose “Settings” and go to “Manage lists” tab (direct link) and you’ll find a general view of all your lists and their options. Maybe you’ve already found it, but thought I’d mention it anyway in case you haven’t.
Welcome to the group, have fun with your backlog!
Thank you for your help guys !
I understand better now, for me the icon was to shuffle the list and not adding games specifically.
As for the first problem, it seems I did put everything on category but now have to work on sorting everything individually. That would be great if we could have the possibility to have a similar way to sort games once done with the not categorized ones !
Now I shall return into my list mess, hopefully I’ll find a way to sort everything properly. If you guys have any advice or ideas, I’m all ears (and eyes ^^ !)
I have nothing insightfull to add, just wanted to say: Welcome to BLAEO! Good luck with your backlog (and sorting your games, hehe) :)
More competent people have already explained everything so I’ll just add my welcomes to the pile. Looking forward to your takes.
Thank you SO MUCH for the warm welcome !
Yeah you can’t add games into lists with progress what you do on the list is click the arrows next to the pencil you see in your screenshot then you will be able to search a name and drag into the list.
I can’t help with the 1st issue you had but maybe someone else can and welcome to the site
I thought I saw your name somewhere else : We’re part of similar groups :) ! Thank you for your warm welcome and your help ^^ !
Yeah you won a game from me so I recognise your picture straight away. Nice to see another familiar face join this site
I remember that we even discussed about the game as I had little problems with it since the achievements would come late in the game ^^ !
It’s indeed nice to see a familiar face on that website.. And I just changed my avatar again, oops ^^”
