This is the first I have heard of this... except for questions in the "Mahalo" or "Mahalo Answers" topic... these questions never make it to the front page there is a filter that keeps the "Mahalo chatter" off of the front page so if the questions you have been asking are in one or both of these topics that is why. I have noticed one possibly two CL related bugs in recent days but neither of those are related to placement of questions but they might be indicative of a larger problem as you bug now makes a possible three relatively new CL bugs. I saw this question only because I saw it go by in the spy view and I follow the "Mahalo" topic in my profile.
With this question being in the "Mahalo" topic it will be prevents from making it to the front page regardless of the number of interesting votes it gets.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
