Finding a spot
There are three primary ways to find spots that fit your interests, which is really the whole point of the site. The first (examples are marked with "1" in the illustration) is سے طرف کی reading the lists on the main page of the site ('fanpop home'): it's entirely possible that some content displayed there is of interest to you, whether it be a spotlit spot, a question, an image, a video, a forum, یا even a spot associated with one of the شائقین featured on the main page. In general, every time a spot name is listed anywhere on the site, it is a clickable link which will take آپ to that spot. A slight exception is the name of a spot in the "recent images" section, which will take آپ to that image in the spot, rather than to the main page for that spot (just as if you'd clicked on the thumbnail of the picture).
The سیکنڈ way to find a spot (marked with a "2" in the illustration) is سے طرف کی using the تلاش function. On every page of the site there is a box in which آپ can type key words and then click a تلاش button to look for content that matches those words. The تلاش will try to find spots which match the words آپ enter. Note: when we talk about any content on the site other than the spots themselves (soapbox مضامین like this one, images, سوالات & picks, fora, et cetera), we refer to them generically as 'links'. When آپ use the تلاش function, آپ may also find لنکس that match your تلاش terms. تلاش results are divided into those two categories: spots, and links, so if you're looking for a spot, you'll find that listed first. The لنکس are listed in the تلاش results below the first five spots listed. The فہرست of link results have شبیہیں that represent the type of link: images, videos, et cetera, but they are all grouped in the same section. تلاش results can take مزید than one page, so if آپ don't see the spot یا link آپ want, آپ may click the 'more results' link (if available) to فہرست another page of تلاش results of that type (spots یا links).
Note that the تلاش is a simple search, however, and does not recognize boolean expressions. That means that +”Kaiju Godzilla” +”cat monster” +video will get the same results as Kaiju cat monster video Kaiju Godzilla, as an example. In addition, the تلاش will look for each of the words آپ type separately, so the تلاش results would be the same for cat video Godzilla Kaiju monster. This means that, for our example تلاش above, in addition to getting Godzilla in the results, آپ might also get results of 'Some random plant on a pole', 'Cat says a-ha!' and 'monster truck rally video'. The results are organized in order of accuracy of match, however, so a video of Godzilla fighting a cat monster (if there is one) would come first. If there isn't one, you'll see a message "We couldn't find any exact matches", followed سے طرف کی a فہرست of partial matches.
The third way to find spots that match your interests (marked with a "3" in the illustration, above) is to use the 'Browse spots' feature on the main page of the site. This is currently found in the bottom right of that page. آپ can click a channel عنوان (for instance, 'Pets & Animals') and then scroll through the different spots in that channel, یا آپ can get a فہرست of the most مقبول spots, یا آپ can فہرست just the pending spots.
Fan of a spot
Once آپ find a spot that matches your interest, آپ can add yourself as a پرستار of that spot. To do so, click the link at the upper right of the page, below the link to your پروفائل and above the 'banner' for that spot. The page will refresh immediately with آپ as a پرستار of that spot. Now if آپ click the 'my profile' link, آپ will see your profile, which will include that spot, as well as a running فہرست of حالیہ ڈیٹس اپ made to 'your' spots (the spots for which آپ are a fan).
Fan of another user
As آپ browse the site, آپ will either find دوستوں and family آپ know, یا you'll just notice other users who are posting لنکس that match your interests. آپ may say that آپ are a پرستار of another user. To do so, click on the user's name یا portrait picture. This will take آپ to that user's profile. If آپ want to explore a little مزید of what this user has done on the site, آپ can select 'activity' in the سب, سب سے اوپر navigation bar. The module on the right will refresh with a فہرست of the لنکس that the user has added to the site, with the ability to also فہرست the videos, images, comments, posts to fora, سوالات and soapbox مضامین that user has entered/created. Once you've satisfied yourself that آپ want to add yourself as a fan, find the box labeled 'about me' on the left side of the user's پروفائل page, which contains the user's portrait picture, whatever biographical information the user has decided to include and a number of quick links. One of these is 'Add to پرستار List'. Click this link to فہرست yourself as a پرستار of the user.
Ratings
Please rate content whenever آپ have a reaction to it, positive یا negative. At the moment, آپ can rate videos, links, soapbox مضامین and تصاویر (remember, when we speak of content in general, we refer to all of these types of content as 'links'). When آپ look at any of these things, you'll see a row of five grey circles with “rate this link” written across them. Click on these to rate the link in question, on a five سٹار, ستارہ scale of 1 ('garbage') to 5 ('awesome!'), moving from left to right. It cannot be stressed enough how important ratings are, since many lists of links, et cetera use ratings as a major part of the algorithm to determine how they are displayed. In addition, the system of تمغے is completely based on ratings. If آپ want your content to be recognized یا if آپ want to appreciate the content that others have posted, the best thing آپ can do it rate that content!
Favorites
As آپ find لنکس that آپ particularly enjoy, یا that آپ want to be able to find again quickly, آپ can save them to your فہرست of پسندیدہ links. To add a link to your favorites, simply click the 'save' button right under the ratings circles. To look up your فہرست of favorites, go to your پروفائل page. Your پسندیدہ are listed in the left, right under the 'about me' box. سے طرف کی default, the پسندیدہ are organized in reverse chronological order, with the link آپ added to your پسندیدہ فہرست most recently listed at the top. If آپ click the link 'more favorites', آپ can choose to فہرست your پسندیدہ alphabetically سے طرف کی عنوان as an alternative.
Sharing
If آپ find some content that آپ think someone else will really like, there are two handy ways to send them a link to that content in e-mail. In each spot, in the upper right (just under the long horizontal image (called the spot's 'banner'), you'll see a link labeled 'invite friend'. Click that to fill out a form that will send an e-mail message to your friend inviting them to use that particular spot. Note: since this مضمون was originally written, this feature has been expanded to track the number of new users who have registered on Fanpop from your invitations. So while the invitation is primarily a way to get others to see a spot آپ like, it is also serving double-duty as a way to track how آپ have contributed to the increase of Fanpop's registered users.
The سیکنڈ way to share Fanpop content is to click the link labeled “Share this Link” (or 'Share Video' in the case of videos). This will also bring up a form, which is identical to the گزشتہ form except that the message sent to your friend will contain the ایل آر یو to the link, rather than to the spot.
Report
Sometimes, even on a wonderful site like this one, there can be problems. There are two ways to رپورٹ such problems. First, if there is a problem with a spot (it's obscene, it violates fanpop's terms of use, یا it duplicates an existing spot), click the 'report' link in the upper right of the spot (a little red flag just under the spot's banner). آپ then are دیا a number of choices for what to report: the spot is either inappropriate, offensive, miscategorized (for example, if the Pirates of the Caribbean spot was listed in the ویژن ٹیلی channel – it's not TV, so it shouldn't be there), یا duplicates a گزشتہ spot. If, on the other hand, a link is not working, آپ should رپورٹ that link. The way to رپورٹ a problem with a link is to click the grey flag just under the ratings circles, and then select which type of problem it is: spam, outdated (if the link is to some event that has come and gone), broken (if the link doesn't work), miscategorized (the link was put in the wrong spot) یا inappropriate. In either case, آپ may instead choose to select 'Don't Report' to منسوخ the problem report.
