 swali 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
Question 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
Basically this will be a collection of all the picks asking "HOW DO I- insert basic function here ?" (usually with the options IDK and PLZ tell me in commentz) and my short answer to these inquiries. Now that we have the new majibu feature they are usually ilitumwa as an answer request but still repeated endlessly.
I usually ripoti these kind of picks/answers and they get deleted as they are effectively spam. The drawback is: all information users leave in the maoni is lost.

link seems to only be used kwa a limited number of mashabiki and though I use it frequently I hate how all information is Lost in the multiple pages after a while.
I found the officiallinkdon't cover all the basics as I usually like to refer people there.

Also this is in no way meant to rival the very well writtenlink which is much zaidi detailed.

Who are the fanpop Four (F4)?

They are the link and run this place.

    I try to add a lot of quality content to this site, and I would like to think I succeed. However, there is no way to know for sure without your help. A swali that constantly plagues my mind is, "What do wewe think?"
    There are a couple of different ways to let people know what wewe think about their content. One is rating, which is definitely the most concise way to onyesha your feelings. However, sometimes just rating isn't enough to get your point across especially if the rating is unusually low.

 Welcome....To the world of PROPS!
Welcome....To the world of PROPS!
Props.

Certainly one of the minor baridi things about Fanpop. They allow users to add a prize alongside a message to Marafiki in eight different and colorful little medals. Awesome, right?

And they are! But since I have to make everything over-complicated beyond belief, today I'm going to onyesha wewe some statistics regarding the heshima System we know and love.

These statistics will SCIENTIFICALLY onyesha wewe guys how often certain heshima are picked, judging kwa my collection of props.

 What do wewe want to add? You're free to add anything wewe desire.

I made a new spot about anything. The kauli mbiu is "This spot is about anything that's important to you". It just came to me when I was hanging out with my friend James (WWEchamp) and I realized, I thought it would be cool if I could put anything I wanted on one spot. I thought it would be cool to just do anything I wanted to add. NO LIMITS! so I made a spot called the anything spot. So wewe if wewe want to wewe can now add no specific content. Movies, Sports, Politics,
TV shows, cooking, add anything wewe want. If wewe think i'm sounding like an a-hole right now that's your opinion, but I think I really have a good thing going here. So please take a look at the anything spot if your even romotely intrested at all.

so just type "anything" the fanpop tafuta engine and your there. (obviously I know)

I wasn't sure where to post this makala so I decided to put it on this spot.

One mwaka ago, the lives of many people around the world (especially of the people in Quebec) were turned upside down because of the death of Anastasia De Sousa. She was an innocent victim of the shooting that occurred at Dawson College in Montreal, Quebec exactly one mwaka zamani on September 13th, 2006. I just wanted to give her one moment of silence on this very sad anniversary and I was hoping wewe would all jiunge me in this. I was completely devastated when I first heard the tragic news about this shooting last year...

Holy Batman I have not been on in forever (slightly longer hiatus than I planned D:) But I am now back and frightened zaidi than ever.

When I was last here things were quite good, there was a lot of fandom going on over the kiddies, good for them :) don't start stuff. I come back and what do I get in my face BOOBS! ASS! SEX! What? Last I thought this was a site accessed kwa children and adults. When I think of fanpop I don't think of it as a smutty site for people to enjoy in a different inapropriate way.

Adult magazines are restricted only to over 18 people, this website is accessed kwa people...

I have noticed recently that ratings on very great material are extremly low. I can understand video that are of poor quality but viungo like IMDb au fansites are being rated as low. These are what I have been calling "petty rates". If wewe have a problem with someone on fanpop don't take it out on their ratings. Add your own content that wewe think is better.

When wewe write a soapbox au find a great image, it can be really disappointing to get a low rating. Personally, it makes me not want to add content. Why spend so much time adding great content when people are going to rate is so low and...

I'm just here to tell wewe about a new spot I made. It's called the rising stars spot. For musicians and groups who have a good sound to their music. a good example would be one republic. So if wewe know some kind of artist that wewe think should be heard post something about them on this spot.I personally like a band called The Hush Sound. They are an indie rock band who songs are joy to my ears. I put some of their songs on the spot check them out. And remember there will always be a new hit artist.

I Was Thinking About Ways fanpop Could Be Better (Not That It Isn't Good How It Is) And I Thought That zaidi Personalized Would Be Great. I'll Explain What I Mean.

Profile Info

I Thought It Would Be Good If wewe Had An Option To Write zaidi About Yourself On Your profaili Page.

Profile Design

It Would Also Be Good If wewe Could Give Your profaili Different Skins au Themes au Something Around Them Lines, But Made kwa fanpop So That Bad Un-Neat Pixelated Skins Don't Get Put Up.

Applications

Having Applications Would Be Great, They Should Be On The Page The App Is Linked With e.g For The fanpop Spot, There...
