Featuring an Event doesn't create feed item

Hi guys

1. I've created and featured an event on my site. While featuring a blog post is successfully creating a stream update, I also would like events to do the same (and create a notification for anyone subscribed to the event).

2. Featured events appear twice in my event listing, both at the top in the featured section and in the bottom in unfeatured. If I turn off the inclusion of featured events in the bottom section then the order is disrupted, and featured events in the past are included in the top section. How do I stop the top section of featured events showing please?

3. Is it possible to see a "featured" logo or icon or some other way of recognising when an event is featured from within the event view? At the moment, when viewing a featured event, there is nothing at all to show that it's been featured (in contrast to the little star icon that appears in the header on featured blogs).

4. How do I set the default event view to Featured events?

Thanks for any and all help!

Thank you!
