Duplicate images tend to really bother me in certain spots, and I’ve observed that I’m far from the only one. I know it’s difficult sometimes to know if an image has been uploaded into a spot or not when there are 999,483,937 uploads, especially when they’re lacking in the keyword department.
Google has this nice new feature called a Reverse Image Search. With a reverse image search, you are able to upload or link an image into the search bar and you’ll be given a list of web pages containing your selected image.
(I’m about to walk you through the steps. I’ll be using a picture from link)
* First, visit link. (tinyeye.com is also another reverse image search engine, but it doesn’t have Fanpop in its database, so don’t bother.)
* Click on the camera icon located at the end of the search bar.
---A box will pop up. If you have the image saved to your computer, click on the “upload an image” link, and… upload the image. If it’s easier to get the image URL, get the URL and paste it in the textbox.
*Click search and you’ll be taken to a list of results, as Google usually does. In some cases, such as this one, Google will add a word to describe your image.
---In most cases, if the image is already uploaded onto Fanpop, it will be displayed as one of the top results
*If Fanpop doesn’t come up as one of the results,
try erasing Google’s guess and type in “Fanpop”, then click search again.
*By this point, you should have your answer.
The top result will ALWAYS be:
“Fanpop - Fan clubs for everything. What are you a fan of?
www.fanpop.com/
Fanpop is a network of fan clubs for fans of television, movies, music and more to discuss and share photos, videos, news and opinions with fellow fans. 42 images...”
So ignore that.
What you need to look for is the results that follow. If you don't get any Fanpop results, then you’re safe to upload the image without committing the crime of duplication.
If you DO get a Fanpop result, make sure you follow the link and actually check which spot it was uploaded to. (You wouldn’t want to miss out on your opportunity just because someone uploaded the same image to the Random spot 2.5 years ago or because it’s the thumbnail of some video)
If you get more than one Fanpop result, then that most likely means that the image has been uploaded to more than one spot, as demonstrated below.
Or that the image appears on more than one URL in one single spot, which is completely normal (the spot’s homepage, image page, wallpapers page, the page for the image itself, the related images thumbnail, a pick icon, etc.)
Or that a duplicate was added at some point or another.
Here’s to hopes for less duplicate images.
Cheers!

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 profile settings.
It does not.
So now there is an article 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 you 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 you finally remember how to do it, so I hope this helps cut down on some frustration. (If not for you, at least for me next time I accidentally open it and frantically search for a solution. =P)

By 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 or annoying. Here is a list of steps to help you out.
1. Try to have more than three answers if possible. If the question is "Who should Jim be with?" Put, Karen and Pam, and then put an answer like neither or Katy.
2.Always have pictures for the question if it isn't a yes, no, or maybe question. Pictures bring in more fans and make the picks more interesting.
3. Try to ask questions that people haven't already asked and questions 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 you feel I need to add anything, then please leave it in the comments.

I'm guessing a lot of people have all ready have found this problem but if you don't understand then it's like this:
One day I decided to create a new club of something that didn't exist as a club yet but I couldn't find the 'Create a club' button. Trust me I looked high and low for the thing but couldn't find it. When I logged out of my account at last there I saw it, the 'Create a club button' so when I clicked on it they of course asked me to sign back in but when I did I was the same position I was in before clicking.
For some people this problem don't seem to happen but for people like me who want to create clubs but can't because the button is unavailable well it's frustrating. I've been looking abound for some kind of answer but the only thing that came up was a link link
this only leads to you having to sign in again. I don't know if it's the signing in thing that's the problem but it really shouldn't be.
Please fix this problem Fanpop!
