Topic Regions

Is it possible have a frontpage with multiple Topics, holding multiple regions. And category pages with Topics, and regions different from the ones on the front page?

For some reason it seems impossible to render content in the Taxonomy/term page, when trying to attach a View pane, other than the default "Topic listing" provided by NS. (content: Region)

Creating dynamic formatters/mini panels for the default vocabulary: "ns_prod_news_topic_region" is no problem. But I cant seem to replicate the logic onto pages other than the front page.

Am i going about this the wrong way?

I am working with an install of NS for D6 and so far things have been doing pretty well. I have a "sandbox" that I installed essentially tearing apart how everything works and I think that I have enough information to move forward with creating a migration path from ProsePoint to Nodestream, but there are two thing that are still eluding me (see previous post about auto pagination posted in this group)
