I have a couple of questions to which I've not been able to find answers. I'm hoping some folks here can shed some light.

1) Anytime I attempt to use the Bottom Center Left or Bottom Center Right placement for a block it simply never shows up. I've read that it is likely a theme problem, but I've NEVER had it work on ANY theme - including the default.

2) Is it still not possible to have Center Left and Center Right blocks appear ABOVE Center Middle placed blocks?

For example, it seems like a very useful tool to have a Center Left and Center Right block showing articles from the knowledge base and FAQ at the very top, and then main content across the entire center area below that... but I'm not able to do that.

Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?

THANKS!
