I am sorry to say this works exactly how it is suppose to!

I have both featured photos and featured reviews on my vbulletin forumhome.
Your issue is as I stated. Your using Vbadvanced as your index not vbulletin's. I gave you an easy way to include a review block on your main vbadvanced page by making a vbadvanced php block above in my last post.
Otherwise if your going to try to modify the instructions for some other script then you need to do this.
1. include our file in that script your talking about forumindex.php
2. Place in the appropriate template that forumindex.php uses $reviewpostfeature where you want it to display. I can't tell you what template that is since I dont use vbadvanced. I use vbportal and you can see examples of php blocks here
