Recently Fanpop introduced a new feature to our Profil pages:
The Showcase!
Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few Fragen surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of Schreiben 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 Frage was answerd Von F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your Fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting Auszeichnungen based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your Profil page where all your Auszeichnungen are presented.
2. What are Caps?
Auszeichnungen are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things Du 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 Du deserve to get one, Du will. Some can be earned Von doing specific things, others are gegeben randomly.
4. What different kinds of Auszeichnungen are there?
So far there are 5 different types of Caps. I’ll explain every type and how to get them here:

I'm human, and it's part of the human condition to avoid change. So I admit I get a little irritated when stuff on Fanpop changes. I still haven't got used to the differences between the Suchen bars on the site, for instance - every Tag I scratch my head, wondering why I get no results when I look for "Fanpop Users", until I realize that I was looking within the link instead of through the whole site (someday I'll get used to this. 
Someday soon, I hope, as I was one of the users who requested the feature!). Similarly, back in August 2008, I found myself...
