Question 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
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.

ArianaIsMine HEY I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! How do I post Gifs to my profile?
Flickerflame ^It can't be done. You can't have a gif as an icon. It was only possible for a short while, years ago, as part of a glitch. They probably take up too much space.
mattk22 Idk if this problem has been discussed but
Ihave made some quiz questions on the television group and i want my friends to anwser them
Is it possible to add them to my own group as well?
If any1 can help id be very grateful
Thanks again
Flickerflame ^I think it ought to be possible to add the same quiz question to more than 1 club. You just make a quiz question again, in your own club.
xXxAngelessxXx has something changed? because i can't block because that option isn't visible under that person's message and i want to block them ^^;; is there another way this can be done?
LowriLorenza89 ^I just checked and it was possible for me. Go to your inbox and open a message from whoever you want to block. Click on Block User (the third green button beneath the message). A warning comes up asking if you're sure you want to move their future messages to trash, so select Yes there.
Williw How Do I View All The Pictures I Like On Fanpop.?
I was thinking about the majibu feature, how it's so much zaidi used than the forums. The point of the majibu was to ask for help on something to do with what you're a shabiki of, but it's also being used to discuss things like "What's the best Simpsons Character" au "Disney should make 2D cartoons again", something like that. That's what the foramu are made for, but most of these kind of maswali are used in the "answer" section anyway. The real foramu are hardly used now. Nearly everywhere I look, the last reply to a foramu was 1 mwaka ago.
Althought I can understand why these maswali are in the majibu section. The maswali are easier to notice and wewe can vote for what the best answer is.
So I was thinking, why not just make the majibu the new forums? Get rid of the old forum. That way, wewe can post whatever wewe want, there's 1 less section to worry about where to ask, the maswali are zaidi likely to be answered and there's no/less rule breaking.
