I've made a general guide 4 days ago and it didn't show up on the main page though it did on Guides page. Today I have updated it and it still doesn't show up, though on Guides page it is visible as updated. Also, one General guide was updated yesterday and it does not show up on main page as well.

I think this should be fixed.

It should show up, are you sure your guide has at least 5.000 characters though? It needs at least 5.000 characters to be considered a full guide.

5k words? I though it was 5k letters.

Anyway, I just checked and it only has 2.6k words and it's pretty much finished - I won't be able to double it's size. Oh well, let it be, it's still gaining views much faster than I expected for a guide that itsn't on the main page.

Edit: Oh and I just counted that other guide's words: has 5k minimum, but it doesn't show up. And for example that newest Tusk guide barely has 1.5k words, so I think this isn't about guide volumes.

Ah, I've said words by mistake, I actually meant characters.

I'll ask the devs how this works and we'll see what we can do!

General guides don't show up on the main page because they aren't hero-specific guides.

None of them do, ask Goo and Sando.
