Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently fanpop introduced a new feature to our perfil pages:

The Showcase!

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

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

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