Hello Fanpoppers. da now te may have noticed a nifty new feature was rolled out this afternoon. It's the fanpop Pop Quiz, a way to test your knowledge of all sorts of arcane trivia from movies, to Musica to hamsters.

Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the fanpop team. In particular, a big omaggio to link who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this feature.

I'd also like to thank all the great beta testers who helped us test and refine the feature for the past month. Finally, a thank te to link - the site that provided the nifty default icona sets for the spot pop quiz and superquiz.

Now onto the nitty-gritty...the specifics about the quiz.

Playing the Quiz

te can play the quiz in one of two ways.

1) The Super Quiz

link is the ultimate test of fanpopper knowledge. Superquiz pulls domande from the full spectrum of topics on the site. Each domanda will tell te what topic and channel it's about. Just start answering domande to start racking up points and winning virtual prizes. If te run across a domanda te don't want to answer, te can simply click the "skip this question" link to get a new question.

te can also use the filter in the right column of the superquiz ("show domande for") to only display domande from a specific channel (e.g. movies) o to only display domande from subjects te are subscribed to.

A small module on the lower right side of the page will display your superquiz progress (how many points you've scored, how many domande asked and what your current prize is).

2) Individual Pop Quizzes

If te want zero in on a specific topic, we also feature pop quiz for each fan club (spot). So for instance, if te wanted to play The Office Pop Quiz, just go to The Office fan Club and click the "quizzes" link below the spot banner (there is also a module on the right side of each fan club homepage that will allow te to start playing).

Spot-specific quiz have their own leaderboards and prize sets (see the small module in the lower right column of the spot quiz pages).

Making quiz Questions

To make a quiz domanda te will need to go to the fan Club's quiz and click the "add a question" link o button.

When creating a domanda te must:
* Ask a question
* Enter at least 2 possible answers
* Select the correct answer

Optionally te may:
* Add an image
* Embed a video
* Add immagini for each of the possible answers
* Add some short trivia about the question

te have some limited editing capabilities once te pubblica a question, but it's best to make sure that te have spelled everything correctly and have made the domanda and answer factually correct before posting.

Additionally, here are some other tips for making good questions:
* Play the quiz in the fan club before posting new questions. This way te can avoid making duplicate questions.
* Avoid subjective domande (e.g "Who do te like better?). Subjective domande should be postato as picks.
* Avoid domande that are time-specific o can be rendered incorrect da events in the future. For instance: "What's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". A better domanda is "As of 2007, what's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". For TV shows that are still airing, a domanda like "How many seasons of One albero Hill"? is also a bad idea (until the mostra has concluded).
* Avoid vague questions: "Who did John baciare on tonight's episode?" is ambiguous if John kisses someone in every episode. A better domanda would be "Who did John baciare in the season 3 episode, 'The Hunted'"?

Reporting Quizzes

If te see an inaccurate, inappropriate o badly worded quiz question, te can flag it o contact the fanpop team.

quiz creators do have limited ability to modify their domande after they are made, however we have curtailed these options in order to prevent any abuse.

Note that in some instances, the fanpop team will need to cancella domande in order to be fair to the people participating in the game. If this happens, feel free to repost a corrected version of the question.
