Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently Fanpop introduced a new feature to our پروفائل pages:

The Showcase!

Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few سوالات surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of writing 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 سوال was answerd سے طرف کی F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your Fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting ایوارڈز based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your پروفائل page where all your ایوارڈز are presented.

2. What are Caps?
ایوارڈز are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things آپ 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 آپ deserve to get one, آپ will. Some can be earned سے طرف کی doing specific things, others are دیا randomly.

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