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