A quick little guide to customizing your poop oot!

What is this pop-out you speak of?

The pop-out button is on the left side of your screen and provides access to your favorite clubs at all times. This way you don't have to go to your profile or use the search to navigate between clubs. HA HA kidding..I know nobody ever uses the search!

May 2011: The pop-out is introduced

By default your poop-out will have your most active clubs displayed for easy access.


My most active clubs- though I am not a fan of all of them
My most active clubs- though I am not a fan of all of them












































How are the clubs shown selected?

Your most active clubs are in your pop-oot by default. If you contributed to a club a lot but are no longer a part of it it may still show up in the selection because it's a reflection of your activity on fanpop over a course of time.




How can I customize the pop-oot to suit my needs?

After the feature was introduced our benevolent leaders listened to the people and link made a fantastic editing section on our profiles. Yes, you may prop him for his hard work!

Open the pop-oot and select edit.














Click on the "Shortcut" tab. Click on an empty square and a searchbar (YUCK! SEARCH!! EWWWWW!! Try to stay strong though...) will open. Type in the spot you want to add, click "save" and bingo presto you have added a shortcut to your poop-oot!
If you want the pop-oot to show your most active clubs you can go back to selecting the "most active clubs" tab.
You can also edit your pop-oot on your profile. Click on "Edit Profile" and scroll down to "other settings" where you will find a link taking you to the editing page.

But how do I remove a club if I no longer want it in my poop-oot?

Click edit, select spot by clicking on the icon, a delete option will appear on your right.Hint: Press delete!








Zis is stoooopid, I don't vont KEIN shortcut und KEIN stoopid poop-oot!

You can deactivate your pop-oot by clicking on the "disable" tab.
































If can not see the edit link in your poop-oot try taking cassie-1-2-3's advice:
"If you have too many toolbars on your browser, the edit link won't show because it's pushed down too far. To fix that, press F11 and they'll all go away, do your edit thing, and press F11 again to get them back."
OR you can also edit the settings on your profile.

FUN FACT 1: You can add any club on fanpop even the ones you are not a fan of. I have left some clubs for TV shows cause of the spoiler whores but now with the nifty new poop-oot I can still visit them occasionally withoot having to search.

FUN FACT 2: All settings are saved automatically no need to click save/OK/done or any of that facebook crap!

If you have more questions read link

Oh and speaking of questions: Ever wonder why you don't have that medal you SO TTLY DESRV?

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 you to CONSTRUCTIVELY make your points in the comments. My idea behind this is to have a collection of concerns that we can show 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 wall debacle? Remember how they changed the layoot after we pointed it oot? Remember how they brought back the forums?

EXACTLY!...

Hello =)

Sit down, shut up and listen to my (pretty much) unnecessary but still quite fun idea #401.
You may laugh afterwards.
But now...Silence and pay attention!

Disclaimer: Yes I admit it, I didn't come up with this idea on my own, I saw something similar years ago on a german website.

Here we go...
POPCOINS
Popcoins are virtual fanpop money.
The idea came to my mind when I was thinking about a possibility to change one's username without being able to change it all the time and without having to pay real money.

This is how popcoins would work:
There would be a popcoin symbol right next to where the...

Today on June 6th, The Meebo bar was not working. Many fans could not log on and all of them thought that it was a glitch or a fail. But then, according to snakemanfan, Google shut down Meebo permanently to work on Google+. It is totally damn stupid. I know that many people use the meebo bar in order for chatting on Fanpop and other stuff, But this is just sad. Google want to dominate the whole internet. Just because Google+ is being updated just does not mean that you have to shut down the Meebo bar permanently. So today, We have to say our Final Words to the Meebo bar as it shuts down forever.

This will be a really sad thing for users who have used the Meebo Bar. I really do not know if they will replace it or bring it back, But for now, Meebo is gone, Forever. :( :( :(

NOTE: I wrote all of this on my tablet.
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 you want to message up) and click their name near the top. Fanpop will show you their profile page and scroll down until you find the "Message" tab. Click it and ...voila!

Just type your message and send it. If they message you back, your inbox will tell you! Try it!

Sorry if this was lame! :(

But please remember to

Hello Fanpoppers. I know this article is late but figured I should still post it in the event that I hit on something that hasn't been covered by one of your fellow fanpoppers in an earlier article or forum post (however unlikely that might be).

Here's a little bit of insight into some of the new things that you might have run into on Fanpop in the past few weeks...




Video and image embeds
You can now embed a video or image in your initial forum post (and all of the subsequent replies). Just look for the "add an image" or "embed a video" link on the forum submission form. Each post is limited...

Okay, so Hulu has become a real problem recently, with misplaced videos. I know there is already an article. But I wanted to express my own views. Here are links to misplaced videos. Get the Hulu user off of Fanpop!

1.link

2.link

3.link

4.link

5.link

6.link

7.link

8.link

9.link

10.link

11.link

Okay, so there are ten links of misplaced videos. But thats nothing. Hulu has uploaded hundreds of videos, and many of them are misplaced. If you find a link to a misplaced video, put it in the comments. Maybe, just maybe, we can get rid of Hulu.

Why do i love fanpop, i just don't know i find i hard to figure out and o my god i can't think. It must be somthing but what. I can't get it out of my mind. Well my first idea was that is could be some of the funny and brilliant videos i watch, it could be. Was it the amazingly good soapbox's people take time to write, could be.

Hmmm i don't seem to be geting any further into understanding why i love fanpop, i still can't get it out of my mind. HELP!!! i keep thinking. Is it the funny and insightful comments people take time to write, could be. Is it the forum's that we all play game's and...

Now that more clubs have the ability to create official icon & banner picks, I thought my link on the subject could use a little revision.

Why does it matter, you ask? It's important to remember that fanpop is a community, and should do things as a group. Randomly starting a poll for a new icon, banner or background is rude to other club members. Making icons and banners takes time, and the first options (likely made by the person who started the poll) are given the unfair advantage of being there the longest. Early voters aren't likely to check back in every day to see if new options have...

This is one of these sleepless nights in which I can't sleep but I'm too sleepy to study, so I end up doing something completely pointless instead of trying to sleep, like looking up some nice fanpop usernames that aren't taken yet.
Bold ones are my favorites.

I can't believe it's been a whole year!
I can't believe it's been a whole year!
Today marks our 1-year anniversary of launching the Fanpop public beta! That's right folks, it was one year ago today that we pressed the button and unveiled Fanpop to the world wide web. And since then, we've had millions and millions of people come to the site. It's been great because we've gotten to know so many of you through the community. Whether it be in a fun forum game like A-Z in Heroes or a heat Picks debate about vanilla vs. chocolate, we've really bonded with our users over the past year.

The site has grown and changed so much in the past year. When we launched our spots we just...
