Kidding as usual. Actually, it's Sunday and I have some spare time on my hands so I thought I would write up some points I think need changing with the new layoot and I invite bạn to CONSTRUCTIVELY make your points in the comments. My idea behind this is to have a collection of concerns that we can hiển thị the F4. This way instead of ranting and going "OMG I HATE DIS!" we can make ourselves heard. I know the F4 are awesome and have listened to us in the past. Remember the tường debacle? Remember how they changed the layoot after we pointed it oot? Remember how they brought back the forums?
EXACTLY! So let us have all criticism in one place and then I will send them a link and maybe they have time to read our thoughts.
All in all I think we need to remember that fanpop is a business. Some of the changes made are sometimes business descisions: I remember how I hated the "popular content" module and then papa explained how it helped the tìm kiếm Engine Optimization and now I just ignore it, knowing it is keeping fanpop busy and alive!
1) The black swoosh of doom.
As I have đã đưa ý kiến earlier I think it's badly executed (Sorry to whoever made it) and doesn't actually add to the site thiết kế so I think this can be removed.
2) Color Coding on câu đố
I liked the way the câu hỏi kiểm tra results were color coded in green and red for an "at a glance" view of correct vs incorrect.
3) Making an "add content" button that is the same on all content
Right now we have an "add video/image" feature ONLY on the first page of videos, pictures etc
I think it would be better to have that option in the blue bar on the video/image itself when having chosen one. If I am looking at a video and want to add my own I have to navigate back to the video page- hoặc am I missing something?
4) Shades of Grey
I find that all the grey tabs are not really helping me to distinguish between the different features. There is a lot of information on a page and I do like the new graphics (flame for what's hot, a wall, the little camera) but I feel there is too many gray buttons that I can't really sort when looking at a page. Possibly a compromise would be to keep the grey buttons but make the symbol a certain color.
Also all text is now in grey and it makes it harder to read (I think anyway) It's a dark grey on a light grey hoặc grey on white. I would make it darker hoặc just plain black which has served as a good color for text for many years now. It would stand oot thêm and increase readability.
5) Smaller các biểu tượng for spots/profiles
Right now the biểu tượng is cutting off the "y" of the hàng đầu, đầu trang line asking "What are bạn a người hâm mộ of?" AND IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS. Either the biểu tượng needs to be smaller (why is it larger than the banner?)or the hàng đầu, đầu trang fanpop logo needs to be higher. The biểu tượng is now also cutting into the two lower "home" and "wall" buttons and it just looks....weird!? It's just a small thing ..or rather NOT small enough..but I see it every.time.I.look.at.a.page! MAKE IT STOP!
6) "Get to know this user" option
I see how a lot of thông tin các nhân information seems busy and cluttered but maybe the thông tin các nhân information could come back but be hidden behind a "find oot more" link. This would possibly open up an additional section of the information window and tell bạn aboot likes/dislikes/hobbies/movies etc like we had before.
7) Customization
So many people have been asking for blinking shit and myspacey âm nhạc playing on their profile...I will not go there. But I do see how the new thông tin các nhân could be easily customized with a hàng đầu, đầu trang picture in the banner and possibly the option to change colors?
The four "caps,medals,fans,props" buttons could be smaller and di chuyển to the thông tin các nhân box. This way a customized banner could be added.
So, my lovelies, write your opinions and ideas in the các bình luận below and rest assured that the F4 are known to be awesome!
P.S. Why won't the image go where I tell it to go?

P.S. Why won't the image go where I tell it to go?
I did it again.
I accidentally hit the "start chat" tab again.
And couldn't remember how make it go away.
I've had this problem a few times before and have to re-learn it every time.
For some reason, I'm always under the impression that the solution lies under my thông tin các nhân settings.
It does not.
So now there is an bài viết to remind me, and anyone else who needs it, how to get rid of this dang thang.
Step 1: Under the "contacts" tab, click "I am online." The words, not the pencil. If bạn click the pencil, it will complicate things and you'll have to reload the page.
Step 2: Click "Log out."
It's not the most obvious way out, but it's easy once bạn finally remember how to do it, so I hope this helps cut down on some frustration. (If not for you, at least for me tiếp theo time I accidentally open it and frantically tìm kiếm for a solution. =P)

Yeah, I know this is kinda lame, but this is all I could think up! :'(
Just go to an article, (or look the person who bạn want to message up) and click their name near the top. fanpop will hiển thị bạn their thông tin các nhân page and scroll down until bạn find the "Message" tab. Click it and ...voila!
Just type your message and send it. If they message bạn back, your hộp thư đến will tell you! Try it!
Sorry if this was lame! :(
But please remember to

bởi the way this is my first soapbox
Ok, I usually don't make user guides but this one needs to be made. I have seen a lot of picks and a lot of them are boring hoặc annoying. Here is a danh sách of steps to help bạn out.
1. Try to have thêm than three các câu trả lời if possible. If the câu hỏi is "Who should Jim be with?" Put, Karen and Pam, and then put an answer like neither hoặc Katy.
2.Always have pictures for the câu hỏi if it isn't a yes, no, hoặc maybe question. Pictures bring in thêm những người hâm mộ and make the picks thêm interesting.
3. Try to ask các câu hỏi that people haven't already asked and các câu hỏi that people will be interested in. Don't make it boring.
Now these are the three golden steps to making a good, quality pick on fanpop. If bạn feel I need to add anything, then please leave it in the comments.

I'm guessing a lot of people have all ready have found this problem but if bạn don't understand then it's like this:
One ngày I decided to create a new club of something that didn't exist as a club yet but I couldn't find the 'Create a club' button. Trust me I looked high and low for the thing but couldn't find it. When I logged out of my account at last there I saw it, the 'Create a club button' so when I clicked on it they of course asked me to sign back in but when I did I was the same position I was in before clicking.
For some people this problem don't seem to happen but for people like me who want to create các câu lạc bộ but can't because the button is unavailable well it's frustrating. I've been looking abound for some kind of answer but the only thing that came up was a link link
this only leads to bạn having to sign in again. I don't know if it's the signing in thing that's the problem but it really shouldn't be.
Please fix this problem Fanpop!
