What are collections?

Sometimes I see references to collection in peoples posts. Is it a way to sort posts, like groups or forums? And while I’m here, are groups and forums the same thing?

I’m not here very often so all this confusing.

Even posting this question is confusing- I have choose from a list and none of the are relevant? The help section is useless

Yes, groups and forums are the same thing. They just recently changed groups to forums in name. Collections are if you have posts similar to each other, you can place into a collection. For instance, I like photography, so I have a collection titled 'Photography'. Just a way to collect those posts together.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Thanks. See my reply to @Longpatrol, your explanation makes sense too when I see yours.
