    Hi

    I'm trying to add titles to my games, but the button does not appear to be present. There is a + button next to the Follow button, but it takes me to Add to Lists (and does not show any of my existing games categories), not Add to Games. Clicking the Follow button has no effect other than changing its text to Unfollow.

    Thanks,

    skyh

    Depending on which page of a gamespace you're on, the + button does different things.

    If you're on the main index of a gamespace it'll try to add to your following/collection/wishlist/now playing lists.

    On all other gamespace pages (e.g. the reviews or previews pages), it'll add to the Game List feature (which I've personally never used).

    I am also trying to add Abe's Exoddus (PSX) game to my "Wish list"/"My collection" but it is impossible to do so.


    Please correct the problem.

    That's the first time I've seen this error. I wonder if that's happening on other older games? http://www.gamespot.com/oddworld-abes-exoddus/ Either way I've reported this problem but unless there's more games with it, the issue may take some time to figure out.

    I'm actually seeing it as if I'm "already" following the game, which I'm pretty sure I never added this game before.

    Hi!

    Thanks for reporting this. It's very likely that this issue applies to many other older games as well. There is a way to understand whether or not a game has this issue: it is enough to make a search for a game (ex. Wing Commander). Then choose "Reviews" to refine the search. Now, if the displayed games come with an image and the "Add" button, then it's working normally. If it does not, then it won't be possible (see Wing Commander Prophecy for GBA).
