    Why should HubPages remove the ‘H' icon (for featured) from a performing hub?

    Has anyone any idea why HP should stop featuring one of my hubs with plenty of views and a red upward arrow? Are they, as I suspect yet again, losing the plot?

    No ideas on that one Angie. If you just change one letter in the hub though, it will put you back to pending and then featured. I don't think they know what they are doing. I had one un-featured that had 14 views in the two days prior. I just change a letter and get them featured again until they decide that this nonsense isn't working either.

      Cheers for this good sense, Becky … I’m beginning to feel a bit hunted by them. I did make amendments  to one hub that also performed okay but it remained blank and did not register even as pending … no doubt they have gremlins again.

      I have to agree with you, Becky. It's become painfully obvious that HP administrators are winging it. Nearly all my hubs were featured two days ago, then the next day half the "H" designations were gone with no apparent reason.

    I'm the same as Becky. Some of my hubs randomly don't have the H icon, and when I edit them slightly, they always get the H icon back in a day.

      Mine too … I just wondered why it lost the H icon when it was performing well. It seemed arbitrary.
