I posted an article on March 6th about my game, Lost Fishy, and it ended up on Indie DB, which is fine, but I don't know how to get it on Indie DB or why it didn't go there in the first place. If I've done something wrong, I've not been told, and, therefore, will probably make the same error in the future. I'm wondering how this process works on getting your articles onto Indie DB news. |

Sometimes my news are visible at Indie DB main screen, sometimes not (but they are posted and authorized). Also don't know why |

To give a short explanation (the explanation that was given to one of the other developers that sent a private message about this):
So 2 major reasons why some app news is featured on Indie DB frontpage is If your news is mainly targeting desktop audiences (yet both mobile/PC fanbase) but badly falls short of quality, it can be either 1) archived (not shown anywhere) or 2) featured only on Slide DB (as SDB has less visitors and less articles than the two other sister sites and therefore much lower quality standards than Indie/Mod DB). |

If you improved your article (it includes 4-6 pics + 1 video, or e.g. music score in additon to tons of text/images etc.) and you need it rechecked, you can send me a private message and can un-archive and switch it on on both IDB & SDB, and finally bump & authorise it so there is no need to resubmit any news piece. The only requirement is improving/editing the article in question and then PMing. Edited by: feillyne |

Just letting you know, and sorry for the late reply to the responses (haven't been here for a few days), my news post has been posted for a few days (maybe a week) now. Thanks for all the responses and info to my original post. |
