Sorry for the delay, been busy with my real job...
I received an email from support who stated it will only show an article if it contains photos, well I discovered this to be untrue as I have several featured articles with and without photos and it won't show either of them. I even tried to show NOT-featured articles but got same results.
The module position is user 8, but I wouldn't think that would matter any.
The reason you guys couldn't see it is I unpublished it till I figured this out, BUT IT IS NOW PUBLISHED AND I WILL LET IT THERE SO YOU CAN SEE, Sorry about the confusion,
Thanks guys, I appreciate your help!!
