Hello Fanpoppers. I know this প্রবন্ধ is late but figured I should still post it in the event that I hit on something that hasn't been covered দ্বারা one of your fellow fanpoppers in an earlier প্রবন্ধ অথবা ফোরাম post (however unlikely that might be).
Here's a little bit of insight into some of the new things that আপনি might have run into on ফ্যানপপ in the past few weeks...
Video and image embeds
আপনি can now embed a video অথবা image in your initial ফোরাম post (and all of the subsequent replies). Just look for the "add an image" অথবা "embed a video" link on the ফোরাম submission form. Each post is limited to one embedded item per post (we did this to keep things simple).
Hopefully this will help with some of the ফোরাম games (caption contests anyone?) going forward.
Save to favorites
আপনি can already add ফোরাম to your পরিলেখ নবীকৃত তথ্য "watchlist" (so that future thread activity appears in your নবীকৃত তথ্য event-feed). We have now added a "save" button that allows আপনি to bookmark the thread to your তালিকা of "favorites". Your personal তালিকা of "favorites" can be viewed from your পরিলেখ page.
Most উত্তর filter
We added a filter to the "most replies" sort on the ফোরাম index page. When আপনি have enabled the "most replies" sort order আপনি can now view items with the most উত্তর in the last day, last week and for all-time.
উত্তর launched a few weeks back at the beginning of March 2009. There are already several guides out there that are superior to anything I might write :-)
I will refer folks to the following unofficial user guides:
* link
* link
(though I differ with Harold in that I think that প্রশ্ন with single valid উত্তর are valid)
For the most part we had anticipated উত্তর being an area where a continuously updated সাধারণ প্রশ্নাবলী could take shape. The প্রশ্ন would fall in that area between opinion/preference প্রশ্ন which would be asked in picks and the fact-based game that is the quiz. If আপনি want to stump your বন্ধু দ্বারা testing their knowledge, use the quiz. If আপনি want to find out what your fellow fanpoppers' preference is for a প্রদত্ত issue, make a pick. If আপনি have a specific প্রশ্ন that আপনি don't know the answer to, আপনি can use answers. It's really a way of allowing অনুরাগী to tap into the deep knowledge-base of other expert fans. Wondering what the song at the end of an episode was? Ask a question! Want to know when a movie's release তারিখ is? Sure, that's a valid প্রশ্ন (imho). Want to know the best way to poach an egg? Also a good question.
Of course if আপনি want to know "Who is the hottest?", I personally think this is better served as a pick. And no, for those of আপনি still wondering, the actual stars aren't পাঠ করা and answering our প্রশ্ন (at least as far as I'm aware). So প্রশ্ন like "Miley Cyrus can আপনি যন্ত্রপত্র me?" অথবা "John Krasinski will আপনি marry me?" are probably not going to ever be answered to your satisfaction :-)
Note that each user may select a single answer as "best" for a প্রদত্ত question. Once a response has sufficient user feedback it may be elevated to "best answer" status so that future visitors to the site might benefit from particularly good responses.
Also, in time certain respondents with a solid track-record may be recognized as experts in their field of expertise in a প্রদত্ত spot in the "top answerer" module.
Finally we added some new content sharing functionality to the site that allows আপনি to better share cool content আপনি find on ফ্যানপপ with your বন্ধু on other social networks and social bookmarking sites. Just click on the "share" button on a video page অথবা an image অথবা a ক্যুইজ and আপনি will see a larger popup menu with a host of choices (Facebook, MySpace and Twitter among others).
That's it for this latest update. Keep fanpopping and sending us feedback! And be sure to send শ্রদ্ধার্ঘ্য out to Michael and Cliff for all their hard work on these new features.
