Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently Fanpop introduced a new feature to our bista sa tagiliran pages:

The Showcase!

Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few tanong surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of Pagsulat 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 tanong was answerd sa pamamagitan ng F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your Fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting sombrero based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your bista sa tagiliran page where all your sombrero are presented.

2. What are Caps?
sombrero are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things you 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 you deserve to get one, you will. Some can be earned sa pamamagitan ng doing specific things, others are ibingiay randomly.

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