I notice there are no featured images for the reviews. Is that option missing?

They are clicked and showing for me, at least on my laptop. Are you on a phone or laptop/desktop.

I know for the two I posted I clicked them and can see all 3 on my laptop

I’m on an iPhone all this week. The DTB shows featured images for me, so I assumed something was different with the ATB.

maybe @animaltoyforum can check. I am new to 'blogging'. But when I first posted, I had forgotten to click featured images and they were not there. But then when I selected one it was. But again, on my laptop at home (and also my desktop at work). I am sure there is something in the coding Adam will figure out

Hmm, not sure, I'll look into that!

Yeessss!!!!!!!!!! Great job, @Badger . I went ahead and created a Category for 'Carnivores' to add to yours as well, so it can be grouped with other carnivores when being searched . Hope that is OK with you.

[bmathison1972]

I plan on doing a Yowie figure tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday. It will depend on if we get any Guest Reviews, as I would prefer to give a guest (or other Authors) priority.

At least for now, I'm fine with that arrangement (it will likely have to split in future though, as it is one of the most commonly made mammalian orders )

OMG you are absolutely right. I completely discounted the number of dog, cat, and bear figures. Civets alone is probably not justifiable. We could add 'Civets Mongooses' as a Category (even though technically it would be paraphyletic to not include the hyenas. Just thinking out loud, I can see Carnivores having the following additional categories:
Cats
Dogs
Bears
Seals, Sealions, and Walrus
Weasels, Skunks, and Allies [this could include raccoons and red panda]
Civets, Mongooses, and Allies [non-cat feliforms, may or may not include hyenas]
Hyenas (?)
