 question 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
Question 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
Basically this will be a collection of all the picks asking "HOW DO I- insert basic function here ?" (usually with the options IDK and PLZ tell me in commentz) and my short answer to these inquiries. Now that we have the new réponses feature they are usually posté as an answer request but still repeated endlessly.
I usually rapporter these kind of picks/answers and they get deleted as they are effectively spam. The drawback is: all information users leave in the commentaires is lost.

link seems to only be used par a limited number of fans and though I use it frequently I hate how all information is Lost in the multiple pages after a while.
I found the officiallinkdon't cover all the basics as I usually like to refer people there.

Also this is in no way meant to rival the very well writtenlink which is much plus detailed.

Who are the fanpop Four (F4)?

They are the link and run this place.

Livejournal can be quite confusing for people who don't use it, so here's a short guide including the most important things toi have to think of when crediting icones from livejournal.

Why do I even have to credit?
You won't go to jail if toi don't, but...
1.)People spend quite some time making icones and crediting them is a sign of respect
Think about how toi would feel if toi made some icones and suddenly you'd find them on some other site without your name mentioned anywhere.
2.)So toi repost some pretty icones from livejournal, another fanpopper sees them and wants to see plus icones from the person...

Now, I l’amour hommages as much (or more) than the suivant person and when I go to my page and see that someone has donné me a hommage I am in a happy little bubble for the rest of the day. I think this is a wonderful feature so that people can be recognized for their outstanding work. However, there is a etiquette that goes along with giving props. hommages are something toi should give if toi feel that a person has contributed something funny, substantial, unique, outstanding, ou just plain awesome in your eyes. They are essentially a reward for hard work that toi have done. They are like a virtual high...

As usual I'm not delusional enough to think that I can prevent spam- of course not!
But I get so tired of seeing the same things over and over in my mises à jour and then typing the same stuff over and over. Also people dont seem to grasp the use of mots-clés so maybe this will help some in that respect,too.

Now I know the searchbar is scary! I saw it for the first time myself when I was a new user and was reluctant to try it. Who knows what might happen when toi click that chercher button!?! But one jour I summoned all my courage I tried and it didn't hurt. Now there was a surprise! Back then there was...
