Hello Fanpoppers. I know this 文章 is late but figured I should still post it in the event that I hit on something that hasn't been covered 由 one of your fellow fanpoppers in an earlier 文章 或者 论坛 post (however unlikely that might be).
Here's a little bit of insight into some of the new things that 你 might have run into on 潮流粉丝俱乐部 in the past few weeks...
Video and image embeds
你 can now embed a video 或者 image in your initial 论坛 post (and all of the subsequent replies). Just look for the "add an image" 或者 "embed a video" link on the 论坛 submission form. Each post is limited to one embedded item per post (we did this to keep things simple).
Hopefully this will help with some of the 论坛 games (caption contests anyone?) going forward.
Save to favorites
你 can already add 论坛 to your 个人资料 更新 "watchlist" (so that future thread activity appears in your 更新 event-feed). We have now added a "save" button that allows 你 to bookmark the thread to your 列表 of "favorites". Your personal 列表 of "favorites" can be viewed from your 个人资料 page.
Most 回复 filter
We added a filter to the "most replies" sort on the 论坛 index page. When 你 have enabled the "most replies" sort order 你 can now view items with the most 回复 in the last day, last week and for all-time.
答案 launched a few weeks back at the beginning of March 2009. There are already several guides out there that are superior to anything I might write :-)
I will refer folks to the following unofficial user guides:
* link
* link
(though I differ with Harold in that I think that 问题 with single valid 答案 are valid)
For the most part we had anticipated 答案 being an area where a continuously updated 常见问题 could take shape. The 问题 would fall in that area between opinion/preference 问题 which would be asked in picks and the fact-based game that is the quiz. If 你 want to stump your 老友记 由 testing their knowledge, use the quiz. If 你 want to find out what your fellow fanpoppers' preference is for a 给 issue, make a pick. If 你 have a specific 问题 that 你 don't know the answer to, 你 can use answers. It's really a way of allowing 粉丝 to tap into the deep knowledge-base of other expert fans. Wondering what the song at the end of an episode was? Ask a question! Want to know when a movie's release 日期 is? Sure, that's a valid 问题 (imho). Want to know the best way to poach an egg? Also a good question.
Of course if 你 want to know "Who is the hottest?", I personally think this is better served as a pick. And no, for those of 你 still wondering, the actual stars aren't 阅读 and answering our 问题 (at least as far as I'm aware). So 问题 like "Miley Cyrus can 你 电子邮箱 me?" 或者 "John Krasinski will 你 marry me?" are probably not going to ever be answered to your satisfaction :-)
Note that each user may select a single answer as "best" for a 给 question. Once a response has sufficient user feedback it may be elevated to "best answer" status so that future visitors to the site might benefit from particularly good responses.
Also, in time certain respondents with a solid track-record may be recognized as experts in their field of expertise in a 给 spot in the "top answerer" module.
Finally we added some new content sharing functionality to the site that allows 你 to better share cool content 你 find on 潮流粉丝俱乐部 with your 老友记 on other social networks and social bookmarking sites. Just click on the "share" button on a video page 或者 an image 或者 a 测试 and 你 will see a larger popup menu with a host of choices (Facebook, MySpace and Twitter among others).
That's it for this latest update. Keep fanpopping and sending us feedback! And be sure to send 支持 out to Michael and Cliff for all their hard work on these new features.
