Why are some of my hubs not listed in the dropdown list for featuring a hub on the profile?
When I punch the drop down list of all my hubs to select one to be featured on the profile I notice that not all of my hubs are available. Wonder why?
They will not be on the featured list if there is no photo. Add a photo to your hub and it should then show up on the drop down list for you to select.
I have hubs with pictures that are also not featured on my drop down menu. I would also like to know the answer to this question.
Sorry, I did not answer it. Just hopped in so I could follow, and find the answer.
One possibility is that the hubs which you are referring to are no longer featured. They may be idled hubs, which are harder to see on your hub list now that the hub pages has changed from the sleeping Zzz's to a plain white space for idled hubs. You also may need to edit the questions at the bottom of your profile, which has also been changed recently. I've got a quick fix for idled hubs, and an answer for the other change as well - http://goody5.hubpages.com/hub/Google-vs-the-Hub-Pages I hope this helps you out with your problem liftandsoar
Same problem liftandsoar, I am trying to put hubs on the drop down menu that are not idle, they have pictures, people still read them.

I thought if a hubpage was listed in Google search it was featured. But apparently that is not the truth. I guess I will keep the hubs up and run my own check on them.

I recently had a hub un-featured for engagement, as the half-circle indicates. I think this is an unfair practice and should be eliminated entirely. Here's why I feel this way:Our hub traffic is often affected by the time of year, holidays, seasons, and current events to name a few. If left alone,...

Hubpages isn't very audience friendly as it stands- people outside of the hubpages community can find hubs through a search engine, and they get a small list of related hubs on specific hubpages, but browsing topics isn't very intuitive.How about adding the categories across the HubPages black bar...

I am venturing out into the forums on a rare occasion to personally ask a question I haven't seen anyone from HP answer to anyone's satisfaction to this point. I've just noticed a hubber which only joined around 14 hours ago who had a hub published only 30 minutes or so ago. See it for...
