I don't honestly mind if I am mysteriously not allowed to post a forum topic anywhere where it could be seen, it wasn't that important, but what is the criteria?

Hi Lesley
Here a copy of the things seen on my browser right now - the homepage of ProZ:

As you probably can see, not all the posts appear necessarily in order.
Besides: this very topic thread does appear top of the list - it was the last topic posted.

"Customize Listed Forums" Jul 7, 2007

Hi Lesley,

Not everyone sees the same forum postings on the homepage. At the bottom of the homepage, under the listed forums, you will find the "Customize Listed Forums" link. Click on it, and select all the forums you would like to see on the homepage.

I can't see it either Jul 7, 2007

Beside the discussions in languages I don't understand, I have filtered out only most CAT tool threads as I use only Wordfast, and Linux and Mac items.
