Recently fanpop introduced a new feature to our profil pages:
The Showcase!
Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few questions surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of écriture this article, answering the most aksed questions. Let me first say that everything I write is based on how I think this new feature works. I’m not one of the fabulous F4, so please correct me if I’m wrong about something.
1. What is the Showcase?
This question was answerd par F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting trophée based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your profil page where all your trophée are presented.
2. What are Caps?
trophée are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things toi do on Fanpop. They have no further purpose, it’s just fun to get them.
3. How do I get Caps?
That depends on the kind of cap. The system for getting them is automated (like the medals) so whenever toi deserve to get one, toi will. Some can be earned par doing specific things, others are donné randomly.
4. What different kinds of trophée are there?
So far there are 5 different types of Caps. I’ll explain every type and how to get them here:
