Ozzy, that thread was a bit old and not relevant anymore.
Taurus, when you create a rotating nomination it should automatically create a one time nomination. However, since it's your first one for that rotation, it will create it as not active so you can check it over before you activate it. Each new one after that, for whatever timeframe you selected will be created as active.
So do you have an active one time nomination running right now? If you have that and it's setup with the right usergroups and forum, it should be showing. If it's not send me a temp admin account and I'll check it out.
