Okay, first off, that Titel is a lie.
Based on the way things are going with the new club update feature so far, I thought we could use some guidelines. These are not official, they are merely suggestions on how to decide on a new Icon oder banner as a team. Only large Clubs have the new suggestion options, so there are thousands of people there whose opinions count! (Not that smaller spots aren't valuable, Du guys rock just as hard.) The suggested steps for changing a club's look are the same up until Step 3 for both large Clubs with the new Umfrage feature, and smaller ones with user-run Umfrage for change.
It's important to remember that Fanpop is a community, and should do things as a group. Randomly starting a Umfrage for a new icon, banner oder background is rude to other club members. Making Icons and banners takes time, and the first options (likely made Von the person who started the poll) are gegeben the unfair advantage of being there the longest. Early voters aren't likely to check back in every Tag to see if new options have been added. Following these steps will help ensure that everyone has a fair chance to participate and that all options are gegeben the same amount of consideration. (It'll also keep Du from getting yelled at.) Now, let's get to it, eh?
Step 1: Ask the fans!
Make a Umfrage to determine if the club even WANTS a new icon, banner oder background.
I usually leave this Umfrage up for a week, unless the results are overwhelmingly in favor of one option oder another after a few days.
If the club Stimmen no, try again in a few months. If the club Stimmen yes, proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Foren & Advertisements
Create a Forum for suggestions from other users. link is a Kürzlich example of a spot makeover that went smoothly, if you'd like to see how that goes.
I like to leave a suggestion Forum open for a week oder two. If it's a small spot with just a few participants, just a week will probably do. Users can always ask for Mehr time on submission Foren I start. You'll need to include the dimensions of the Icon and banner in your Forum post. Icons are square and 100x100 pixels oder larger. Banners are 800x100 pixels, oder a size that scales down to that. (1600x200, 2400x300, etc.) This is important, because Bilder that are not those dimensions will be stretched when uploaded to the spot, and that ain't pretty.
It's also a good idea to Werben the suggestions forum, in case someone missed the initial poll. The most effective ways to do that are Links and polls, but adding a Wand post too wouldn't hurt. Links are probably the best way, because adding Links to a club bumps it to the front of the mosaics on user profiles. This lets users know that something is going on in a club even if they've overlooked it in their updates, especially for inactive spots.
Step 3: Voting & Change
Once everyone has Abgeschickt their creations, this is where it can get a little tricky...
If you're voting in sets, make a graphic with all the options paired together. Then Du can create your Umfrage and link to the image in the comments, so users can see it all at once and pick the set they like most. I've found that this is the fastest and simplest way, as it only requires one Umfrage and it's very unlikely that the club will end up with a mismatched set. (I'm not quite sure how to accomplish this with the new voting feature for large Clubs yet.)
If users didn't Abschicken their graphics as sets (or if you're running the contest in a large spot with the special polls), I prefer to vote for the banner first. It's larger, it took Mehr work, and it's easier for users modify their Icons to work with the new banner instead of vice versa. After the new banner is determined (a week should be enough time if it's a small club, Fanpop sets its own deadline for Umfrage in large clubs), it's time to pick an icon. What I like to do for these is to pair each Icon contender with the winning banner in one graphic, so users can see what each Icon will look like with the new banner. Link to it in the Kommentare of the Icon poll. This doesn't guarantee a matching set, but it helps reduce the Clash of the Graphics that often happens when the Icon and banner Stimmen run simultaneously.
Unless the spot in need of a change doesn't have an Icon oder banner at all, Du should include the current ones in the polls.
The special Umfrage for large Clubs are monitored Von fanpop, so Du don't need to do anything once those are over. If you're overseeing a change in a smaller spot without that options, a moderator will help Du with the change if Du ask nicely and provide Links to the suggestion Forum and the winning polls. (link is my go-to Mod.)
Told Du the Titel was a lie.
As Du can see, there's a lot Mehr to changing a club's look than just clicking a link and uploading an image. It takes a responsible user willing to put in the time and effort of organizing, advertising, making sure everyone is included and following the guidelines, and in the case of smaller spots, reporting the results to a moderator. If Du can't handle that, please leave the job of overseeing a spot change to someone who can. There's no shame in letting someone Mehr experienced take the reins!

Step 2a: Create a Forum for suggestions.
Step 2b: Be sure to include icon/banner dimensions and a submission deadline!

Step 2c: Advertise! Here's an example of advertising in a link.
Step 2c: Here's an example of advertising in a poll. This Umfrage should end before the official icon/banner vote begins.
Step 2c: An advertisement on the club's wall, juuust in case.

Recently I just discovered what the Wiki feature was for. And upon searching, most seem to not know what its purpose is and therefore don't care about it. Never fear, I'm here. It's been approximately never since I wrote an informative Artikel so Du are all in for quite the treat!
"It's a glorified article."
I've seen several Kommentare that Wikis are a "glorified article", insinuating that what Du can and would put in a Wiki, Du can and would put in an article. That is simply not true. See below for example.
Above is what Du can do with an article. That is noticeably missing when you...
