Hello Fanpoppers. I know this Artikel is late but figured I should still post it in the event that I hit on something that hasn't been covered Von one of your fellow fanpoppers in an earlier Artikel oder Forum post (however unlikely that might be).
Here's a little bit of insight into some of the new things that Du might have run into on Fanpop in the past few weeks...
Video and image embeds
Du can now embed a video oder image in your initial Forum post (and all of the subsequent replies). Just look for the "add an image" oder "embed a video" link on the Forum submission form. Each post is limited to one embedded item per post (we did this to keep things simple).
Hopefully this will help with some of the Forum games (caption contests anyone?) going forward.
Save to favorites
Du can already add Foren to your Profil Updates "watchlist" (so that future thread activity appears in your Updates event-feed). We have now added a "save" button that allows Du to bookmark the thread to your Liste of "favorites". Your personal Liste of "favorites" can be viewed from your Profil page.
Most Antworten filter
We added a filter to the "most replies" sort on the Forum index page. When Du have enabled the "most replies" sort order Du can now view items with the most Antworten in the last day, last week and for all-time.
Antwort launched a few weeks back at the beginning of March 2009. There are already several guides out there that are superior to anything I might write :-)
I will refer folks to the following unofficial user guides:
* link
* link
(though I differ with Harold in that I think that Fragen with single valid Antwort are valid)
For the most part we had anticipated Antwort being an area where a continuously updated FAQ could take shape. The Fragen would fall in that area between opinion/preference Fragen which would be asked in picks and the fact-based game that is the quiz. If Du want to stump your Friends Von testing their knowledge, use the quiz. If Du want to find out what your fellow fanpoppers' preference is for a gegeben issue, make a pick. If Du have a specific Frage that Du don't know the answer to, Du can use answers. It's really a way of allowing Fans to tap into the deep knowledge-base of other expert fans. Wondering what the song at the end of an episode was? Ask a question! Want to know when a movie's release datum is? Sure, that's a valid Frage (imho). Want to know the best way to poach an egg? Also a good question.
Of course if Du want to know "Who is the hottest?", I personally think this is better served as a pick. And no, for those of Du still wondering, the actual stars aren't Lesen and answering our Fragen (at least as far as I'm aware). So Fragen like "Miley Cyrus can Du E-Mail me?" oder "John Krasinski will Du marry me?" are probably not going to ever be answered to your satisfaction :-)
Note that each user may select a single answer as "best" for a gegeben question. Once a response has sufficient user feedback it may be elevated to "best answer" status so that future visitors to the site might benefit from particularly good responses.
Also, in time certain respondents with a solid track-record may be recognized as experts in their field of expertise in a gegeben spot in the "top answerer" module.
Finally we added some new content sharing functionality to the site that allows Du to better share cool content Du find on Fanpop with your Friends on other social networks and social bookmarking sites. Just click on the "share" button on a video page oder an image oder a Quiz and Du will see a larger popup menu with a host of choices (Facebook, MySpace and Twitter among others).
That's it for this latest update. Keep fanpopping and sending us feedback! And be sure to send Requisiten out to Michael and Cliff for all their hard work on these new features.
