    Did you know?: You can browse public collections (through a really unintuitive process)

    If you want to browse all new models, images, videos, post, articles, or bounties, you can just go to those on the top. Collections, being a very undersupported part of the site, don't have such. You can however get around this by using a blank search. What makes this jank however is what you need to do to make a blank search.

    First, click the drop down to the left of the search that says "models" and change it to collections. Next make any search for collections: It can be for "a" or anything at all. Next, click on the search again and remove the query entirely, then submit it. If done correctly, you should have made a blank search, which can now be sorted and filtered by the normal things (type of collection, age, item count). I really wish we'd get a proper implementation for this (among other missing features for collections, but for now you can use this.

    If you're looking for useful collections, you can check out mine. Just beware following a collection will spam your notifications whenever it's updated. (You can also see a bug I've already reported where collection thumbnails don't support all the filetypes that models do, but will still try to use un-supported filetypes as a default thumbnail. I don't know how collections determine what models to pick for thumbnail)
