Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently Fanpop introduced a new feature to our Профиль pages:

The Showcase!

Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few Вопросы surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of Письмо 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 Вопрос was answerd by F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your Fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting Трофеи based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your Профиль page where all your Трофеи are presented.

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

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