Hello Fanpoppers. I know this articolo is late but figured I should still post it in the event that I hit on something that hasn't been covered da one of your fellow fanpoppers in an earlier articolo o forum post (however unlikely that might be).
Here's a little bit of insight into some of the new things that te might have run into on fanpop in the past few weeks...
Video and image embeds
te can now embed a video o image in your initial forum post (and all of the subsequent replies). Just look for the "add an image" o "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
te can already add forum to your profilo aggiornamenti "watchlist" (so that future thread activity appears in your aggiornamenti event-feed). We have now added a "save" button that allows te to bookmark the thread to your lista of "favorites". Your personal lista of "favorites" can be viewed from your profilo page.
Most risposte filter
We added a filter to the "most replies" sort on the forum index page. When te have enabled the "most replies" sort order te can now view items with the most risposte in the last day, last week and for all-time.
risposte 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 domande with single valid risposte are valid)
For the most part we had anticipated risposte being an area where a continuously updated faq could take shape. The domande would fall in that area between opinion/preference domande which would be asked in picks and the fact-based game that is the quiz. If te want to stump your Friends da testing their knowledge, use the quiz. If te want to find out what your fellow fanpoppers' preference is for a dato issue, make a pick. If te have a specific domanda that te don't know the answer to, te can use answers. It's really a way of allowing fan 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 data is? Sure, that's a valid domanda (imho). Want to know the best way to poach an egg? Also a good question.
Of course if te want to know "Who is the hottest?", I personally think this is better served as a pick. And no, for those of te still wondering, the actual stars aren't Leggere and answering our domande (at least as far as I'm aware). So domande like "Miley Cyrus can te email me?" o "John Krasinski will te 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 dato 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 dato spot in the "top answerer" module.
Finally we added some new content sharing functionality to the site that allows te to better share cool content te find on fanpop with your Friends on other social networks and social bookmarking sites. Just click on the "share" button on a video page o an image o a quiz and te 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 props out to Michael and Cliff for all their hard work on these new features.
