Finding a spot
There are three primary ways to find spots that fit your interests, which is really the whole point of the site. The first (examples are marked with "1" in the illustration) is by reading the lists on the main page of the site ('fanpop home'): it's entirely possible that some content displayed there is of interest to you, whether it be a spotlit spot, a question, an image, a video, a forum, or even a spot associated with one of the fans featured on the main page. In general, every time a spot name is listed anywhere on the site, it is a clickable link which will take you to that spot. A slight exception is the name of a spot in the "recent images" section, which will take you to that image in the spot, rather than to the main page for that spot (just as if you'd clicked on the thumbnail of the...

This part of my user's guide covers the reporting mechanism and how to use it to maintain good content on the site. It was last updated on 9 June 2008.
As you continue to use Fanpop, you will come across content that is not what it should be in some way. Since Fanpop is largely only as good as the content it contains, it is important to address these issues for the good of the site and the Fanpop community.
Now, most of the content that "is not what it should be" is likely just content that you don't like, and such content should be rated appropriately (see the Ratings article here). But, rarely, there is some content on the site more problematic than that, and for such content there exists the reporting function. Reporting allows you, the user, to flag something on Fanpop as being wrong in some way, so that it will be fixed.
Here's a handy guide to distinguishing between different types of problem content, and whether ratings or reporting should be applied.

When I first started on Fanpop I didn't exactly know what Fanpop really was, I just was on Fanpop so I could see videos of my favourite tv shows.
But then I noticed that you could do other things like answering picks and I started to do that.
Some picks made me laugh really hard, other made me think about things that I've never really thought about.
I did that for a while and it was (and still is) really fun to do and then I began to notice that when I couldn't sleep, or just was bored, I was making picks in my head.
And then I had this brilliant idea (yes, I know, I'm a genius:D) that I could make picks too!
I thought about it for ages, because I really wanted to make a good pick and after a while I came up with one and I made a pick.
After I made a pick, I was very nervous, 'would people like it?' I thought and 'What if they find it lame or something?'
But the most people found it a good pick, and they said it was great and that I should make more. (of course, there are always people who say 'what a pointless pick', but I got over that)
