Hello Fanpoppers. দ্বারা now আপনি may have noticed a nifty new feature was rolled out this afternoon. It's the ফ্যানপপ Pop Quiz, a way to test your knowledge of all sorts of arcane trivia from movies, to সঙ্গীত to hamsters.
Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the ফ্যানপপ team. In particular, a big শ্রদ্ধার্ঘ্য to link who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this feature.
I'd also like to thank all the great beta testers who helped us test and refine the feature for the past month. Finally, a thank আপনি to link - the site that provided the nifty default প্রতীকী sets for the spot pop ক্যুইজ and superquiz.
Now onto the nitty-gritty...the specifics about the quiz.
Playing the Quiz
আপনি can play the ক্যুইজ in one of two ways.
1) The Super Quiz
link is the ultimate test of fanpopper knowledge. Superquiz pulls প্রশ্ন from the full spectrum of topics on the site. Each প্রশ্ন will tell আপনি what topic and channel it's about. Just start answering প্রশ্ন to start racking up points and winning virtual prizes. If আপনি run across a প্রশ্ন আপনি don't want to answer, আপনি can simply click the "skip this question" link to get a new question.
আপনি can also use the filter in the right column of the superquiz ("show প্রশ্ন for") to only display প্রশ্ন from a specific channel (e.g. movies) অথবা to only display প্রশ্ন from subjects আপনি are subscribed to.
A small module on the lower right side of the page will display your superquiz progress (how many points you've scored, how many প্রশ্ন asked and what your current prize is).
2) Individual Pop Quizzes
If আপনি want zero in on a specific topic, we also feature pop ক্যুইজ for each অনুরাগী club (spot). So for instance, if আপনি wanted to play The Office Pop Quiz, just go to The Office অনুরাগী Club and click the "quizzes" link below the spot banner (there is also a module on the right side of each অনুরাগী club homepage that will allow আপনি to start playing).
Spot-specific ক্যুইজ have their own leaderboards and prize sets (see the small module in the lower right column of the spot ক্যুইজ pages).
Making ক্যুইজ Questions
To make a ক্যুইজ প্রশ্ন আপনি will need to go to the অনুরাগী Club's ক্যুইজ and click the "add a question" link অথবা button.
When creating a প্রশ্ন আপনি must:
* Ask a question
* Enter at least 2 possible answers
* Select the correct answer
Optionally আপনি may:
* Add an image
* Embed a video
* Add প্রতিমূর্তি for each of the possible answers
* Add some short trivia about the question
আপনি have some limited editing capabilities once আপনি প্রকাশ a question, but it's best to make sure that আপনি have spelled everything correctly and have made the প্রশ্ন and answer factually correct before posting.
Additionally, here are some other tips for making good questions:
* Play the ক্যুইজ in the অনুরাগী club before posting new questions. This way আপনি can avoid making duplicate questions.
* Avoid subjective প্রশ্ন (e.g "Who do আপনি like better?). Subjective প্রশ্ন should be পোষ্ট হয়েছে as picks.
* Avoid প্রশ্ন that are time-specific অথবা can be rendered incorrect দ্বারা events in the future. For instance: "What's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". A better প্রশ্ন is "As of 2007, what's the highest grossing British film of all-time?". For TV shows that are still airing, a প্রশ্ন like "How many seasons of One বৃক্ষ Hill"? is also a bad idea (until the প্রদর্শনী has concluded).
* Avoid vague questions: "Who did John চুম্বন on tonight's episode?" is ambiguous if John kisses someone in every episode. A better প্রশ্ন would be "Who did John চুম্বন in the season 3 episode, 'The Hunted'"?
Reporting Quizzes
If আপনি see an inaccurate, inappropriate অথবা badly worded ক্যুইজ question, আপনি can flag it অথবা contact the ফ্যানপপ team.
ক্যুইজ creators do have limited ability to modify their প্রশ্ন after they are made, however we have curtailed these options in order to prevent any abuse.
Note that in some instances, the ফ্যানপপ team will need to মোছা প্রশ্ন in order to be fair to the people participating in the game. If this happens, feel free to repost a corrected version of the question.

I did it again.
I accidentally hit the "start chat" tab again.
And couldn't remember how make it go away.
I've had this problem a few times before and have to re-learn it every time.
For some reason, I'm always under the impression that the solution lies under my পরিলেখ settings.
It does not.
So now there is an প্রবন্ধ to remind me, and anyone else who needs it, how to get rid of this dang thang.
Step 1: Under the "contacts" tab, click "I am online." The words, not the pencil. If আপনি click the pencil, it will complicate things and you'll have to reload the page.
Step 2: Click "Log out."
It's not the most obvious way out, but it's easy once আপনি finally remember how to do it, so I hope this helps cut down on some frustration. (If not for you, at least for me পরবর্তি time I accidentally open it and frantically খুঁজুন for a solution. =P)

Yeah, I know this is kinda lame, but this is all I could think up! :'(
Just go to an article, (or look the person who আপনি want to message up) and click their name near the top. ফ্যানপপ will প্রদর্শনী আপনি their পরিলেখ page and scroll down until আপনি find the "Message" tab. Click it and ...voila!
Just type your message and send it. If they message আপনি back, your ইনবক্স will tell you! Try it!
Sorry if this was lame! :(
But please remember to

দ্বারা the way this is my first soapbox
Ok, I usually don't make user guides but this one needs to be made. I have seen a lot of picks and a lot of them are boring অথবা annoying. Here is a তালিকা of steps to help আপনি out.
1. Try to have আরো than three উত্তর if possible. If the প্রশ্ন is "Who should Jim be with?" Put, Karen and Pam, and then put an answer like neither অথবা Katy.
2.Always have pictures for the প্রশ্ন if it isn't a yes, no, অথবা maybe question. Pictures bring in আরো অনুরাগী and make the picks আরো interesting.
3. Try to ask প্রশ্ন that people haven't already asked and প্রশ্ন that people will be interested in. Don't make it boring.
Now these are the three golden steps to making a good, quality pick on fanpop. If আপনি feel I need to add anything, then please leave it in the comments.
