If you are tired of rummaging through countless pages trying to feature a group member or an image that won a challenge and have so many more pages to go and your mouse hand is cramped. Try this method.
NOTE: This only works for groups that you Host / Co-Host
Also be careful in doing this as it will have the reverse effect on a featured image.
It will remove it from the featured section if it is already featured.
Be sure to visit the groups “overview” page to make sure your handy work has included all the images you wanted to feature.
You can click the images below to see them larger
To feature Challenge Images
1.On your groups “overview” page there is a link to your “featured work” section
right click the link 
and select (with Firefox)“copy link location”
(with internet explorer) “copy shortcut”
Now you are ready to feature some images the easy way
2.Go to the challenge page that shows the awesome challenge winners that are about to be featured and while holding the control (CTRL) key left click the lucky images 
doing this will open them in new tabs in your web browser
3.Now the fun part Clicking one of the new tabs that were opened will take you to the image page drop a comment if you like while you are there. To feature it in the address bar highlight the web address all the way to the word “art” 
then press and hold the control (CTRL) key press “V” to paste the address you copied in step 1 / or you can right click the Highlighted text and select ‘paste’ from the pop up menu.
Here is an example
Original address (the part in bold will be replaced)
http://www.redbubble.com/people/envelope150/art/2934496-2-egret-dock
Now the new address to feature this image would be
http://www.redbubble.com/groups/groupnamehere/featured_works/2934496-2-egret-dock
4. Now just press enter (or click GO).
5. Click the “feature” button on the confirmation page and your done.
You can close the tab and move on to the next one.
This also works for T-shirts
Example address (the part in bold will be replaced)
http://www.redbubble.com/people/envelope150/t-shirts/2478267-4-original-mobil-phone
Feature a Group Member
PLEASE NOTE: This method does not always work
To feature a group member go to their public profile page and click the “send bubblemail” link and in the address bar there is a number that you will need to feature the group member.
Example: The number below in bold is my number
http://www.redbubble.com/mybubble/conversations...=14964058&return_to=%2Fpeople%2FEnvelope150
Highlight and copy the members number
Go to the featured members link on the groups page
EXAMPLE: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/groupname/featu...
and add the copied number at the end of the address in the address bar
Like this
http://www.redbubble.com/groups/groupname/featu...
Press enter and presto a featured member.
Featuring Writings and Journals
also works by going to the members writing or journal page and clicking the work to feature and pasting the address like we did above.Examples:replace the part in bold
Writing
http://www.redbubble.com/people/envelope150/writing/3092254-feature-me
Journal
http://www.redbubble.com/people/envelope150/journal/3092254-feature-me

Donna Adamski
WooHooo! I finally tried this and works great Dan…I had issues with the CTL & V, it added some extra words, so I just right clicked on the highlighted text & pasted!! Thanks again!
D R Moore:
Awesome Donna , I’m so glad it worked so well.
tonymm6491

D R Moore:
You are very welcome..I’m happy to help
tonymm6491
Please, do you can help me, when I want to use this method about member feature, it always give me this mistake, for example: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/4-winners-only/featured_users/1669599
Alice Oates
This is the most wonderful journal I’ve ever read ever and I wish I’d seen it before I trawled through 200 pages of a group looking for features…Thanks you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karen Brodie ...
Brilliant info and very easy to understant too :))
owlspook
Wowie! thanks Dan … this is going to save me ooodles of time! thank you (big smile)
D R Moore:
You are very welcome…This was one of my biggest annoyances as a host-co-host of a group..
ctheworld
I’m sorry that I am so dense…….. but I just don’t get it at all. I’m not very computer savvy, and this just gives me a headache. I got sooooo lost, right at the beginning!…Oh well, it’s going back over all those pages for me…….
D R Moore:
I added some images to help you :)
Cat2be
This works perfectly. Must admit that it took me a few times but it worked. Now I know how to do it, it is a breeze.
Thank you
D R Moore:
You are welcome :)
ROUBLE RUST
OMG It’s working haaah!!!! I just did it for one work that I couldn’t find to feature xxx Woo hoo hoo how can I ever thank you?
D R Moore:
By you taking the time to let me know it has and will help you in the future is thanks enough…enjoy :)
bloorain
does this still work? it doesn’t work for me :(
D R Moore:
Yes this still works…I use it all the time for every challenge in my groups
D R Moore:
I sent you a bubblemail with a few links to try…from one of your groups maybe you can compare the links I sent you to the ones you are creating and see where they do not match..and go from there…
Matt Roberts
Yeah, this either isn’t explained very well or either simply doesn’t work…
D R Moore:
I do not know any other way to explain it simpler than I already have and yes it still works and always has
Matt Roberts
Well I tried it and it didn’t work…
D R Moore:
I sent you a bmail with a few links to try…from one of your groups…I used this method today and it worked like a charm..maybe you can compare the links I sent you to the ones you are creating and see where they do not match..and go from there…
Angela Ardis
Brilliant! Saved me so much time from having to go through and search each image out. The only ones it didn’t work on were ones that the people didn’t submit to the group and only entered in the challenge (so obviously it wasn’t in the group pool to be able to feature). Thanks so much for this! :)
D R Moore:
You are very welcome..Glad to help :)
Rosalie Dale
Arrrrgh … only just had this info pointed out to me – you are a lifesaver – thank you.
D R Moore:
Your welcome…I hope it saves you some time in the future….
Enjoy :)
ctheworld
Thanks so much for the instructions – much appreciated!
D R Moore:
Your welcome :)
Aartistic
outstanding tutorial D R, this is excellent!
i use an Apple iMac Snowleopard, so i will have to adapt some of this information, but i must tell you your tutorial is so helpful and really is wonderful!
Bravo!
D R Moore:
Thank you…It will save some time when challenges end and Your wanting to get the features up
Freedom
Hello….I am sorry if this is not the correct space to write this but…I am really new and need some help with a group. I have no clue about how to set up challenges….how to vote….and how to feature (although I will def come back to this when the time comes!) Do I need to open a separate space for the challenge? or do you just vote on all the pics that come in after the challenge starts….also how do you vote?? Is there some way that all the members can vote on it?? Sorry for all the questions….and thank you sooo much in advance for helping me!!
really confused
Freedom
D R Moore:
Here is a Host Handbook that may help you with the hosting stuff.
Have you recieved your invite to the Friends of Redbubble group that is the place where you an find lots of help by other group hosts.
You may find a few general answers in the Redbubble Knowledge Base
Hope that helps
Dan
D R Moore:
I forgot to mention the handbook is also in the forums that I linked to in my first reply….Friends of Redbubble forums
Freedom
Hello, and thank you for the handbook, I will read it! No I have not gotten an invite to friends of redbubble….sounds like the place I need to be. I now have reading, studying to do…thanks again D R Moore. :))
D R Moore:
The invite should have gone to your bubblemail if not let me know and I look for the thread that tells me how to have it sent to you :)
It’s a great place to find out what other hosts are doing with their groups and more
Freedom
No I have not received a bubblemail on joining friends of redbubble….thank you in advance for having someone send me an invite…I would love to join…. :)
D R Moore:
I sent you a bubblemail with the info I found :)
Themis
Thank you, really handy, and making it way too easy :-) Now I have to be VERY careful :-) (I’ve just become a co-host, and the last thing I want to do is make a mistake – I know how I would feel if I was at the receiving end…)
Linda Bianic
Geez Dan, and here I thought I had the bubble all figured out!! thanks for these, and for the headache I am about to have LOL!! ♥
ourjrny

I’M sorry I’m asking such a dumb question but is anyone using a mac for features and links?
most tutorials are windows 7 and foxfire ! is their one for mac users !
D R Moore:
The same Tutorials apply to a mac
To Copy: Highlight an area, then hold ‘Ctrl’ + ‘C’ (For Mac users ‘Apple’ + ‘C’).
To Paste: Click your mouse where you want the text pasted, and then press ‘Ctrl’ + ‘V’ (For Mac users ‘Apple’ + ‘S’).
rocamiadesign
Wow! Thank you very much for saving me hours of work in the future. I have always cringed at the thought of offering challenge winners a feature and had just about given up on it.
trobe
This will be very useful!
Now – is there a way to “unfeature” globally or at least all the last 12 images? I spend ages trawling through thumnails to tidy up the features page.
D R Moore:
You can use Firefox and iMacros to automate the process see this tutorial it is about cleaning a group but can be used for your purpose…
Mieke Boynton
Yay! It worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I spent three hours finding challenge top 10s to feature last time… :) :)
SPFisher
thanks!! what a life saver
bubblehex08
That helps, really! Many thanks!
rhian mountjoy
WoW !!
What a genius idea !
Thank you ever so much for saving hours off my week every week !
Mariaan Maritz...
Magical! Thanks so much…. such a great help.
Rene Hales
Is there anyway/anywhere we can practice this safely without messing up something?
Rene
D R Moore:
You can complete steps 1-4 safely without featuring anything..once you click the feature button on step 5 then the image will be featured..
Rene Hales
@D.R. Moore, okay, I think I have it. Guess the proof will be in the pudding or the mess I make.
Susan van Zyl
I seem to have some problems using this now.
Never had problems. It gives me this error page:
Sorry, we can’t find that page.
Don’t panic, it’s not your fault.
Try starting at the homepage again
Nerdspeak: 404 Page Not Found
Will try and work it out
Susan van Zyl
Sorted it out!
Sorry
The work was not submitted to the group!
;-)
SusanAdey
The Featured Member process gives 404 error messages. Has something changed at RB?
Shelley Neff
The Featured Member process is also giving me a 404 error message. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Roger Neal
Hi Mr Moore,
I have made up a tutorial on easy way to do Features for Mac/Safari users – here – based on your instructions above. I hope you approve of this adaptation?
Sincerely
Roger Neal
Fiery-Fire
OMFG- that easy LOL, this is superb, I use chrome and the method is working as well :)))
Thank you so much for this tip, will be most useful while you roaming thru hundreds of pages of images :))
