팬팝 Caps: Everthing 당신 need to know about your Showcase

posted by Eline_K

Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently 팬팝 introduced a new feature to our 프로필 pages:

The Showcase!

Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few 질문 surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of 글쓰기 this article, answering the most aksed questions. Let me first say that everything I write is based on how I think this new feature works. I’m not one of the fabulous F4, so please correct me if I’m wrong about something.

1. What is the Showcase?
This 질문 was answerd 의해 F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your 팬팝 bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting caps based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your 프로필 page where all your caps are presented.

2. What are Caps?
Caps are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things 당신 do on Fanpop. They have no further purpose, it’s just fun to get them.

3. How do I get Caps?
That depends on the kind of cap. The system for getting them is automated (like the medals) so whenever 당신 deserve to get one, 당신 will. Some can be earned 의해 doing specific things, others are given randomly.

4. What different kinds of Caps are there?
So far there are 5 different types of Caps. I’ll explain every type and how to get them here:

4a. 팬팝 Firsts
There are 5 caps to earn in this category so far:
1. Fanpup: “Welcome to Fanpop! You’ve earned this adorable 강아지 for joining the 팬팝 family. We’re glad to have 당신 here!” This 캡, 모자 is earned when 당신 가입하기 Fanpop, therefore every Fanpopper has this cap.
2. Picture Perfect: “Now don’t 당신 look sharp in that 프로필 picture 당신 just uploaded? 또는 is that a picture of your dog? Either way, well done.” This 캡, 모자 is earned when 당신 업로드 a 프로필 picture.
3. Speak your mind: “You added a 모토 to your profile. Good for 당신 for speaking up for yourself.” This 캡, 모자 can be earned 의해 adding a 모토 to your 프로필 page.
4. Wall: “Writing on someone's 벽 on 팬팝 is not really vandalism, we approve of your graffiti here.” This 캡, 모자 can be earned 의해 글쓰기 something on somebody’s wall.
5. Facebook: “ Thanks for 페이스북 Connecting us! 당신 really "like" us! Don't worry, we won't spam your News Feed.” This 캡, 모자 can be earned when 당신 connect your 팬팝 account to your 페이스북 account, and like the 팬팝 page on Facebook.

neji_lover Hey! update on the Grandmaster and Guru cap. Look at my profile to see them! Grandmaster = 5 years of fanpop Guru = six years of fanpop

Sweshika Amazing

Simmeh I'm visiting Fanpop today, but how do I get the Saint Patrick's Day Cap? I visited here on Christmas and The New Year and never received a Cap those days, either. It doesn't really matter... but I don't understand why I'm not getting any. I used to get them...

Flickerflame ^I suspect that caps have stopped being awarded, or they've been cut down upon at least.

darkinvader Lolz love the story

Akale_12 Best article ever in fanpop! (maybe)

superboy16 There is only Christmas 2013 holiday cap left in 2018, so what about all those other holiday caps now? Does Fanpop still give any holiday caps away to new users like me, or are they only for the users who are on Fanpop for much longer time than me? I got my Christmas cap in January. Would I ever get the Easter cap, maybe in May 2018?

ktichenor ^ I don't think they give holiday caps anymore. My last holiday cap was New Years 2014 and I've been here for a while and haven't seen any since then. I guess they just stopped doing them.

Shukuya Thanks buddy!!! I am shukuya i joined fanpop this month

PopPixie---- I'm a new member of Fanpop and won't I get these Holiday caps?

LowriLorenza89 No, they stopped them a few years ago - I think that maybe they were running out of ideas for new designs each year - so only older members who've been here for a while can have them.

PopPixie---- Hmm... Okay thanks!

PopPixie---- But It's a shame they don't make holiday caps anymore. I wish I had joined Fanpop earlier and known :(

PopPixie---- I hope they start making holiday caps again.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: The New 팬팝 Layout

posted by Cinders

OK, everybody, let's all just take some deep breaths. I've been looking at 코멘트 within the last half 시간 about the new 팬팝 layout that has thrown all of us for a loop.

There was a similar outcry of disbelief over, what I am choosing to call, the link. I am here 글쓰기 this to gather everyone's collective panic and misgivings into one place, as well as to try and look at the positives of these recent changes, in an attempt to placate some of your fears.

First of all, let's get the obvious out of the way. AH! OMIGAWD! 팬팝 LOOKS WEIRD AND IS ALL DIFFERENT! It's like 페이스북 and YouTube...

OMG 100 PROPS IF 당신 READ THIS!!11!1 (What props aren't for...)

posted by Snerkie

Ah props. They used to be a way to acknowledge on a peer to peer level that someone has 게시됨 something good. Back in my 일 we used to give props if someone 게시됨 a good video, 또는 said something intelligent but now they're thrown out like...condoms in high schools? *shrugs*

What are props?
Props are small medals that 당신 can give to other users if 당신 see them post something good.
eg; User_X posts a good video, User_Y gives User_X a video prop!

How can I give someone a prop?
You can give users props 의해 going to their 프로필 and clicking on the "Give Props" button, then type them a short message...

How walls might clean up props

posted by Eline_K

Hi everyone,

I’m 글쓰기 this 기사 because I believe the new 벽 system has real potential of improving the way people use the props. I realize that not all fanpoppers will follow my advize, but I still feel the urge to write this.

I’ve been on 팬팝 for quite some time now, and I’ve received and given quite a few props. However, only a small amound of the props I received were ‘real props’. To clarify: 의해 ‘real props’ I mean props received for actual content I’ve submitted. All the other props were ‘thanks for being a 팬 – props’ 또는 ‘happy whatever 일 당신 came...

To Block The Name 또는 Not to Block The Name. That is the 질문

Reason For This Article

Recently i finally found how to screencap a page on the internet. I had been looking for ages and finally i found out how to.Naturally i was very pleased and was waiting for a chance to use it.

My Joy was short lived

Days went by,days turned into weeks and after a 월 and a half i found nothing. For the times i had been on 팬팝 i had read the funniest, silliest things in spots and now that i could finally share them ,everyone became sensible?

It felt like that unfortunately

After my long wait i got a message, but it wasn't what i was hoping for. I was expecting...

팬팝 Image Game (for lack of a better title)

posted by cassie-1-2-3

This is a little game I made up just because I was bored. I enjoy it, so I figured I’d share it.
Just a warning: This game is only fun if there’s a spot you’ve added a lot of 이미지 to, but enough have been added 의해 other people to make it challenging.

So, the object of the game is to... get lots of points? And to encourage proper image etiquette.

Be sure to keep something handy to keep track of your points! (Paper and pencil, blank word document, calculator, etc.)

Step 1: Maneuver over to your 가장 좋아하는 spot (or preferably, the spot you’ve contributed the most 이미지 to)

Step 2: Look at...

The Fanwhore: Have 당신 ever been added 의해 someone, and then when 당신 went to their 프로필 to possibly add them back, saw only posts with things like "Thanks for the add!" as far as the eye could see? Congrats, you've just met a Fanwhore. This person is pretty much just obsessed with getting fans. They can spend hours adding people, and will usually add back anyone who adds them. They tend to have obscenely large numbers of fans, and to get them obscenely fast. Can go ballistic if they haven't gained at least five new 팬 in the last hour.
Also, some Fanwhores tend to reform after a while,...

Spoiler picks don't have to ruin the fun for everyone

posted by dave

Nobody likes it when others ruin their fun 의해 telling them the end of the story. Some people just aren't as caught up with others because they're busy 또는 haven't gotten around to it. Whether it's your 가장 좋아하는 TV show and you're a few episodes behind 또는 a book that 당신 haven't read yet, the last thing 당신 want is for someone to tell 당신 what happens. Spoilers can ruin the fun for everyone else and the last thing we want to do is take the fun out of your 가장 좋아하는 stuff.

A lot of users were unhappy when 팬 were making picks that were spoilers during the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly...

Take Responsibility: Don't Rate-And-Run!

posted by Cinders

Alright, so this is sort of in conjunction with a lot of other soapbox articles, namely Temptasia's two 기사 on link and link. It is also a sister 기사 to thecon's link. Additionally, it's minutely related (like a very distant cousin) to megloveskyle's 기사 on link. But I really wanted to stress the importance of constructive criticism here. So at the risk of sounding (exceptionally) redundant, I wish to discuss the importance of expressing yourself, taking responsibility for your actions, and not rating and running.

If 당신 Can't Say Something Nice (Part 2)...

posted by Temptasia

Part one can he found link
Lately I have noticed a swell in the amount of inappropriate comments. 코멘트 that have sexual innuendo, are hurtful, 또는 are just plain gross, and most of the time they have nothing to do with the topic at hand. What I fail to grasp is why people feel like they need to do this. I can't understand why they can't control themselves and write something appropriate 또는 nothing at all. Is it a lack of sense of humor? Do they not realize that people spend a lot of time contributing to this site and a 코멘트 like that can make all their efforts feel wasted? 또는 do they not...
