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 你 to CONSTRUCTIVELY make your points in the comments. My idea behind this is to have a collection of concerns that we can 显示 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 墙 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 潮流粉丝俱乐部 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 搜索 Engine Optimization and now I just ignore it, knowing it is keeping 潮流粉丝俱乐部 busy and alive!
1) The black swoosh of doom.
As I have 说 earlier I think it's badly executed (Sorry to whoever made it) and doesn't actually add to the site 设计 so I think this can be removed.
2) Color Coding on 测验
I liked the way the 测试 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- 或者 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 或者 grey on white. I would make it darker 或者 just plain black which has served as a good color for text for many years now. It would stand oot 更多 and increase readability.
5) Smaller 图标 for spots/profiles
Right now the 图标 is cutting off the "y" of the 最佳, 返回页首 line asking "What are 你 a 粉丝 of?" AND IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS. Either the 图标 needs to be smaller (why is it larger than the banner?)or the 最佳, 返回页首 潮流粉丝俱乐部 logo needs to be higher. The 图标 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 个人资料 information seems busy and cluttered but maybe the 个人资料 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 你 aboot likes/dislikes/hobbies/movies etc like we had before.
7) Customization
So many people have been asking for blinking shit and myspacey 音乐 playing on their profile...I will not go there. But I do see how the new 个人资料 could be easily customized with a 最佳, 返回页首 picture in the banner and possibly the option to change colors?
The four "caps,medals,fans,props" buttons could be smaller and 移动 to the 个人资料 box. This way a customized banner could be added.
So, my lovelies, write your opinions and ideas in the 评论 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 个人资料 settings.
It does not.
So now there is an 文章 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 你 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 你 finally remember how to do it, so I hope this helps cut down on some frustration. (If not for you, at least for me 下一个 time I accidentally open it and frantically 搜索 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 你 want to message up) and click their name near the top. 潮流粉丝俱乐部 will 显示 你 their 个人资料 page and scroll down until 你 find the "Message" tab. Click it and ...voila!
Just type your message and send it. If they message 你 back, your 收件箱 will tell you! Try it!
Sorry if this was lame! :(
But please remember to

由 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 或者 annoying. Here is a 列表 of steps to help 你 out.
1. Try to have 更多 than three 答案 if possible. If the 问题 is "Who should Jim be with?" Put, Karen and Pam, and then put an answer like neither 或者 Katy.
2.Always have pictures for the 问题 if it isn't a yes, no, 或者 maybe question. Pictures bring in 更多 粉丝 and make the picks 更多 interesting.
3. Try to ask 问题 that people haven't already asked and 问题 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 你 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 你 don't understand then it's like this:
One 日 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 俱乐部 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 你 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!

Yesterday, I was fanpoping. I come across the link spot- And went to videos. link is what I saw. There were 苹果 pie 视频 there. 提交 由 Hulu.
link are some 图片 由 other fanpopers reporting this.
Hulu's 视频 should NOT be done 由 a webcrawler. (or whatever 你 call it) Dave, either have a manual team do hulu's videos, 或者 dont do it at all.
EDIT: as amazondebs says in the comments, 潮流粉丝俱乐部 isen't even getting paid for hulu's videos. What is the purpose of having them here?
(Another) EDIT: 更多 of this maddness. and in link spot!
