Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently fanpop introduced a new feature to our thông tin các nhân pages:

The Showcase!

Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few các câu hỏi surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of nghề viết văn this article, answering the most aksed questions. Let me first say that everything I write is based on how I think this new feature works. I’m not one of the fabulous F4, so please correct me if I’m wrong about something.

1. What is the Showcase?
This câu hỏi was answerd bởi F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting huy hiệu based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your thông tin các nhân page where all your huy hiệu are presented.

2. What are Caps?
huy hiệu are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things bạn do on Fanpop. They have no further purpose, it’s just fun to get them.

3. How do I get Caps?
That depends on the kind of cap. The system for getting them is automated (like the medals) so whenever bạn deserve to get one, bạn will. Some can be earned bởi doing specific things, others are được trao randomly.

4. What different kinds of huy hiệu are there?
So far there are 5 different types of Caps. I’ll explain every type and how to get them here:
