Fanpop Question

How can I search for other fan clubs if the search engine down? Is there an alternative way to do this? Will the search engine be fixed?

I don't know when or if they'll fix the search function. It hasn't been working for months.

However, I have found that if I type a search word into the box slowly enough, suggestions of clubs will appear. That's a workaround for finding fan clubs, though it doesn't work for finding more specific content.

You can always google it instead. That's what I do. Btw this search engine is not the only thing on Fanpop that needs to be fixed soon. A lot of other Fanpop features are also useless. Try un-fanning someone when on mobile site. There's no way you can remove anybody from your fanlist as long as you're on a mobile site. Also, uploading pictures & embeding videos can be a bit tricky for mobile users, such as myself. I often get messages like Upload failed for pictures, or Sorry, we don't support submission from this website yet for videos. I'm talking 'bout a simple YT video url here. Even uploading videos or pictures to some fan club won't always work, much less adding pictures or videos to your quizzes, or pictures to your polls. No wonder so many of my videos end up with a label No Title! Not to mention that Superquiz Leaderboard is totally outdated, showing fans who left Fanpop years ago. Basically, most things on this network don't work properly. Maintainance is a major problem 'round here, or should I say, a lack of it is our biggest problem for some time now. Some people refer to all those computer errors glitches, but I prefer to call them what they really are: software malfunction. We're experiencing some serious technical problems with our software for months now. They should update this whole software, if you ask me. Especially the Fanpop mobile site that I'm on most of the time is in desperate need for improvement. Let's face it, what Fanpop needs right now is a brand-new software. This one is already obsolete, not to mention it was never designed to support so many fans with thousands of content posted on daily basis, in so many clubs. Too bad nobody's interested in making some software adjustments, or repairs, if you prefer, which are absolutely necessary imho. Every single problem has a solution, including this one, not just here, on Fanpop, but also irl as well!

Oh yes I agree with all of that. I also wish they would widen the text boxes for comments everywhere on the mobile/iPad site. So users including me can see what we’ve written so we can go back if needed to edit it or need to add a link to it or simply went to look at another page only to come back and find the comment returned to the start...annoyingly being unable to skip back to the end where you left it.
