Many of my games don't appear in the LFG

This is not a new problem. I've had to give up on certain campaigns as they never appear in the LFG. The only players I had in those games were people I invited directly because the game would never appear in the LFG. The games always indicate "Looking for Players (Active)" from the&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/</a> &nbsp;page. They also indicate "Listing Status: Shown" from the&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/</a> &nbsp;page. Yet, no form of search will show them. I've tried searches based on "relevance." I've searched based on "Starting Soon" an hour before the game. I've also tried to search based on keywords without any result. As I already wrote, this is a long term problem with many of my games, but here is a specific example.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/4759098/stranger-things-tuesday" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/4759098/stranger-things-tuesday</a> That game doesn't show up. It doesn't matter how I search. Even when there were only a few minutes left before the game time and I searched based on "Starting Soon," it wouldn't show up.&nbsp; Here is an identical campaign. In fact it is a copy of the Stranger Things Tuesday campaign that won't show up.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/4856634/stranger-things-thursday" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/4856634/stranger-things-thursday</a> This shows up when I search for "stranger" in keywords. This is an exact copy of the Tuesday campaign, so why doesn't the Tuesday show up under the same search?
I just noticed that the Tuesday game was accidentally checked as Mature. I unchecked that box. Hopefully it will now appear. Even though I might have resolved this issue, as I already stated, this has been a recurring problem for me. If anyone has any insight into what roll20 deems "relevant," please let me know. I always find that the games of mine that do appear in the LFG will often be back on page 8 o 10, even though they seem like they should be more relevant than other games that have non pro / plus users as DMs or that have little experience or no players.

I'm not too savvy on the LFG tools, as I've never really used them. But I thought I'd mention that the links you have given are links to the game details pages. Only people who are players in those games can open those links. To anyone else (like me) they just return a 404/page not found error. If you wish to indicate a particular game, link to the LFG listing.
Hello Andy D., I have just taken a look at the LFG Tool. I am currently able to find multiple campaigns of yours on in the List. Three listings on the second page of the results and two on the third page of the results.&nbsp; You can find more information about the LFG and the Determining Order of LFG Listings on our wiki. If you are searching right away after creating the LFG Listing, it may not show up. it may take up to 2 hours to show up on the site.&nbsp; Additionally, as Keith Curtis has stated, there are multiple Link types on Roll20. The campaign link, which takes the form of&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/1234567/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/1234567/</a>... , links people to the 'Game Details' page for your game. By&nbsp; default &nbsp;such a link is&nbsp; only &nbsp;visible to players&nbsp; already &nbsp; in the game, and only&nbsp; Plus and Pro &nbsp;subscribers&nbsp; can &nbsp; make their games&nbsp; visible to the public .&nbsp;&nbsp; However, no one can&nbsp; post&nbsp; to your game forums unless they're already&nbsp; in &nbsp;your game. The LFG Listing link, which takes the form of&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/1234567/BlahBl" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/1234567/BlahBl</a>... , &nbsp;links people to the LFG Listing for your game. You get this link by&nbsp; creating a LFG Directory Listing . This is the desired link to share for pretty much every purpose one can think of. Even if you do not enable it for viewing in the LFG Directory you can share the&nbsp; link &nbsp;with others and have a separate&nbsp; Listing Discussion forum &nbsp;just for those potentially interested in your game. As a bonus, anyone who posts to your game's Listing Discussion forum will have a&nbsp; big blue button &nbsp;by their username and all a GM has to is click 'Invite to Game' and an invitation will be sent their way. An example of a game that is not enabled is&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/100394/testing-mctesterson" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/100394/testing-mctesterson</a> &nbsp; We hope this information helps. If you need any additional assistance, let us know.&nbsp;
This is happening for me as well. My game has been up for a couple of months and I can't find it on lfg anymore even though there are still open slots
Hello XTP, I just took a look at your current games. Only 2 of them have a listing and they are both disabled. Can you please try to re-enable the one you are wanting to be active and see if the issue persists? Please note that they may take up to 2 hours to show up in the LFG Listing Tool.&nbsp; Thanks!
