Hi
I edited a couple of hubs today that were no longer featured. I expected to see the pending symbol afterwards but there is nothing. Have things changed?
Thanks
Hi Meloncauli!
Next time this happens, can you send screenshots of the just-edited Hubs without icons to me? That might help.
Rest assured all Hubs go through the QAP after being edited and they are all Pending during that period (which may take up to 24 hours but may be as short as 2). The issue here seems to be that the symbol just isn't showing up.
Sorry for any confusion!
Hi
Thanks for your reply Simone.
Both hubs mentioned still have no symbol at all next to them, and it's 24 hours later!
The actual pending process may take far less time than it used to for some Hubs. This means that in some cases the Hub may be pending for a very short period of time.
I looked at your Hubs and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
If this is related to a specific Hub, please let us know the title and/or URL.
I had the same trouble on a new hub. I just followed the guidelines. When you edit your hub look at the right hand side at the top of page. It tells you what is missing.
I added 3 capsules of text 3 photos and a video with a 400 word hub. Make sure you attribute your photos properly,add caption and give your photos a title with your keywords.
I also had it happen to an old hub
Thanks tamron, but the hubs in question already have those attributes. Have edited many hubs in the past but not had this "no symbol" problem.
Thanks again.
Tamron,
I didn't realize that we should have captions and titles on photos. I only do captions. Is this an option or does it actually contribute to the overall hub rating?
I'd like to know, too. I don't use the titles because I think it starts to look too busy -- I choose pictures that go with the capsule title.

Why do non-featured Hubs rejoin the pending queue when edited?I have one non-featured hub and anytime I edit it, it gets put back in the pending queue. Why is that? It doesn't happen with any of my other hubs, which all happen to be featured.

I just spent a lot of time on this hub; I did my research, cited my sources as usual, and published it yesterday with a rating of 70. However, it no longer says it is pending and it is not featured. I was wondering if someone can look it over, and possibly tell me why?...

As reported in the Forums certain hubbers appear to have "Pet" status and their new hubs get published immediately without the 24-48 hours "pending" delay (orbiting arrows). What's the criteria for this (all had hubber scores above 95). or is it related to what's in the hub -...

Some people have asked why do some Hubs go directly to featured. We are working on ways to get more Hubs featured as quickly as we can and are testing mechanisms for doing it. Right now, there are a small number of Hubbers where our system can process their Hubs immediately based on...

I love HubPages, I feel that I have learned so much here and my confidence in writing non-fiction took such a huge leap when I was invited onto the Apprenticeship program last year. I have met some wonderful people here - both staff and other Hubbers. But as may other people have said, the idling...

First off, my hubs are transferred from Squidoo, and I am aware of various issues there. I'd already checked and edited hubs after the transition, so this is all post transfer.What I don't understand is why some of my hubs get unfeatured after I've edited them? One even got...
