 * Hi,
 * I have a page which is called ‘posts’, I think it’s from wordpress itself, because
   I didn’t set it, could that be?
    However, Display Widget just ignores it somehow,
   when I say Show at ‘Members’, the widget is shown at members and everywhere else
   not whats perfect BUT at the posts-page. The page is at the Display Widget list,
   but I can’t do anything about and with it.
 * Maybe you know whats going on, thanks for any help on this, trying for days now.

 * Are you referring to the “Posts” option under the “Custom Post Types” header?
   If so, it does seem like both “Posts” and “Pages” options are not working.
