I have a pet peeve.
As a writer, I have found my stuff posté on other websites without my permission, and sometimes without so much as a mention that it was MY article... ou a link back to the original. This ticks me off, and it is illegal to do so.
I have not come across this on fanpop with articles yet, but I have seen it numerous times on images.
Some of the people I adore the most are even doing it. I have to assume innocence here and figure some folks just don't know... so I'ma tell ya ;)
Credit. Credit. Credit. The option to add the photo credit when toi soumettre an image is there for a reason. It is to protect fanpop from massive headaches later on, and toi from being sued.
toi might chercher for images on Google, but that is not who to credit. When toi find the image toi want, there is a url under it when toi click on the image. From there it is easy to find the name of who owns that image. If it is not cited, then toi need to cite that website in the credit to protect both yourself and Fanpop.
Not citing the copyright owner is theft, pure and simple. Besides, it is just the right thing to do.
As fanpop grows, plus and plus people are going to be taking notice. They are going to see their images were taken without citing the owner. We do not want that kind of trouble around here.
In the case of movie and book covers, cite the studio ou publisher of the book. That is way-easy to do. In the case of photos of stars and what have you, the photographer is the way to go, unless toi can't find that info, then like I said; cite the website toi found it on, ou the star.
Please please please make the effort to do this. I do not want to see the jour that Dave and Papa are forced to waste time removing thousands and thousands of images because we did not take the time to do it right and legally...
Thank you, Drive through.

I'm guessing a lot of people have all ready have found this problem but if toi don't understand then it's like this:
One jour 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 clubs 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 toi 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 pomme pie vidéos there. soumis par Hulu.
link are some images par other fanpopers reporting this.
Hulu's vidéos should NOT be done par a webcrawler. (or whatever toi call it) Dave, either have a manual team do hulu's videos, ou dont do it at all.
EDIT: as amazondebs says in the comments, fanpop isen't even getting paid for hulu's videos. What is the purpose of having them here?
(Another) EDIT: plus of this maddness. and in link spot!
