Hello Fanpoppers. I know this 記事 is late but figured I should still post it in the event that I hit on something that hasn't been covered によって one of your fellow fanpoppers in an earlier 記事 または フォーラ post (however unlikely that might be).
Here's a little bit of insight into some of the new things that あなた might have run into on ファンポップ in the past few weeks...
Video and image embeds
あなた can now embed a video または image in your initial フォーラ post (and all of the subsequent replies). Just look for the "add an image" または "embed a video" link on the フォーラ 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 フォーラ games (caption contests anyone?) going forward.
Save to favorites
あなた can already add フォーラム to your プロフィール アップデート "watchlist" (so that future thread activity appears in your アップデート event-feed). We have now added a "save" button that allows あなた to bookmark the thread to your 一覧 of "favorites". Your personal 一覧 of "favorites" can be viewed from your プロフィール page.
Most 返信 filter
We added a filter to the "most replies" sort on the フォーラ index page. When あなた have enabled the "most replies" sort order あなた can now view items with the most 返信 in the last day, last week and for all-time.
回答 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
(though I differ with Harold in that I think that 質問 with single valid 回答 are valid)
For the most part we had anticipated 回答 being an area where a continuously updated よくある質問 could take shape. The 質問 would fall in that area between opinion/preference 質問 which would be asked in picks and the fact-based game that is the quiz. If あなた want to stump your フレンズ によって testing their knowledge, use the quiz. If あなた want to find out what your fellow fanpoppers' preference is for a 与えられた issue, make a pick. If あなた have a specific 質問 that あなた don't know the answer to, あなた can use answers. It's really a way of allowing ファン 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 日付 is? Sure, that's a valid 質問 (imho). Want to know the best way to poach an egg? Also a good question.
Of course if あなた want to know "Who is the hottest?", I personally think this is better served as a pick. And no, for those of あなた still wondering, the actual stars aren't 読書 and answering our 質問 (at least as far as I'm aware). So 質問 like "Miley Cyrus can あなた Eメール me?" または "John Krasinski will あなた 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 与えられた 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 与えられた spot in the "top answerer" module.
Finally we added some new content sharing functionality to the site that allows あなた to better share cool content あなた find on ファンポップ with your フレンズ on other social networks and social bookmarking sites. Just click on the "share" button on a video page または an image または a クイズ and あなた 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 リスペクト out to Michael and Cliff for all their hard work on these new features.
