Editing & Tools

So, I know that blog posts can be associated with certain key terms and will appear in the 'site activity' bar at the bottom of the home page but I was wondering if there was a way to get user reviews to show up there as well. I know you guys have the community showcase which is a great way of bringing attention to that but it would be great to get a little more exposure whenever someone puts a review up. Just thought I'd bring that up, feel free to correct me if I've just missed something!

@Vitor: Do you mean the 'User Created Highlights' section on the front page?

@Vitor: User reviews can also be viewed under the "Activity Feed", but they don't seem to be appearing at all. Neither do Follows, List Edits, Wall Posts, and even Blogs whether they're by themselves or were under the "All" section. Definitely looks like a bug to me.

"I mean look at this thing! There's WAY more user reviews than this."

@FinalDasa: I don't remember any user reviews (besides blogs) being on the "User Created Highlights" as of late.

@FinalDasa: I did notice that, but hadn't seen any reviews. I might more specifically in a way that brought up any recently posted reviews, regardless of whether or not it had been recommended or hand picked.

@Bigheart711: That's exactly what I thought. I like the way blog entries show up in the list but wasn't seeing any user reviews there.

@Vitor: I think the closest thing to what you're looking for is in the "Reviews" section of the site. Click the "Reviews" button in the top bar, and then click "User Reviews" on the left side. That will give you a chronological list of every user review.

You're right, though, I wish there was a better way to expose them. We used to be able to feature really good user reviews on the homepage, but that function went away with the latest site redesign.
