Forum topic not showing in forum

Is there a delay between posting a forum topic, and when it actually shows  up?

I just posted this question:
http://www.instructables.com/community/I-am-confused-Conflicting-emails/
I can see the individual topic, it exists

in the breadcrumbs at the top it says it is in the  help: contests forum

but if you click those breadcrumbs, the topic does not appear in the forum.
It exists all by itself, if you have a direct link. but it does not exist in the category so I can't see how anyone would ever see it.

Are threads screened or something before they will appear in their  category?

There is an automatic filter on all topics and instructables, the workings of which are hidden from we mere mortals. The filters get cleared by humans working on California time.
