I would like to know what does it mean, when there's no any icon on the featured column? Like no any featured or pending marks but the article is published online and ads are also posted. Thanks!
I think that means that it is no longer pending nor featured. When you first publish a hub you get that spinning icon and then, hopefully it will be followed by the black circle with the H inside, indicating it has been featured. When the spinning circle icon disappears and it is not replaced by the H in a circle, then I don't believe it made the cut. If you go in and edit it, making any improvements you can you can submit it again and have another chance of getting it featured. Hope that helps.

I've had this happen twice and went in and fixed a few things and was featured on my second attempt. So it's worth figuring out what little bit you might be able to alter to get through. You're welcome! Good luck :-)
Thanks for the tips, now I know what to do. Its really a big help, I do appreciate it.

Hi all, I haven't been on HP much and noticed a new icon for featured hubs (the green pencil) but several have a red mark in them and I can't tell if that's an exclamation point indicating something needs to be fixed or a mushed up triangle indicating rising traffic. Can anyone clarify that for me?...

I have been editing and tweaking hubs like crazy the last few days. Naturally, this means that they all go through QAP again, with the spinning arrow-circle indicating that their status is still pending.All but one have since been returned to featured status, and that one seems to be...

How can I tell if a hub is featured?I can see the column that says 'featured' and then below it H in a black circle. I thought in the past when I looked at my hub it would say ...it is featured or not. Now I cannot seem to find out. Thanks
