Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

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 soalan surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of Penulisan 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 soalan was answerd sejak F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your Fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting anugerah based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your profil page where all your anugerah are presented.

2. What are Caps?
anugerah are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things anda 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 anda deserve to get one, anda will. Some can be earned sejak doing specific things, others are telah diberi randomly.

4. What different kinds of anugerah are there?
So far there are 5 different types of Caps. I’ll explain every type and how to get them here:
