Featured groups are groups which are specially marked as “Featured”. Such groups are more highlighted than others and thus gain more visibility. Featured groups appear in the “Featured groups” slideshow on groups Home. On “Browse groups” and in search results, they are marked with a “Featured” marker and their entries have a distinct background color. Their group Profiles also have a marker. Featured groups appear in a “Featured” tab on groups Home and the search form for groups also has a quick filter for seeing Featured groups. In all maps, markers for Featured groups appear with jumping animation effect.
