there seems to be something i'm forgetting, but damned if i can think what it is.
in the meantime, click your username on the main page, go to 'my subscriptions',
and see if yours looks something like the following:

---

Subscriptions are useful links to threads and other assorted data. Use this page to manage your subscriptions... change the order, number of entries shown, and unsubscribe.

Order is a numerical value between 0 and 255. Smaller values sort topics higher on the sidebar. Two or more topics with the same value are further sorted by the time the last thread was added to the topic (new news on top.)

Max is a numerical value between 0 and 50. It is the maximum number of entries to list. For various reasons the actual number of entries displayed may be less than this value.

Your subscriptions are listed with a checkmark. Uncheck to unsubscribe.

To save your changes, click Update.

My subscriptions are fine, and sidebars show up in order specified. I get the "Technical" sidebar, but can't see new posts.
