You say other admins can see them fine - do you mean this is just a problem for you on the front page and not the others? (Have you docked the blocks?) Or is it a problem for all admins?

What precise version of Moodle 2.9? You may well be suffering from this bug - MDL-50446 

It has been fixed for the next minor release of Moodle. In the meantime the workaround is to turn on the editing on your front page, access the main menu block, click the configure icons for your items in there and make sure they all open in the same window and NOT a pop up or new window. (If that is not your problem, then apologies - perhaps you can give more details?)

Hello again, from another Moodle Community site. Following information in your private message to me, I looked at the two quizzes in question in your practice course on Learn Moodle. The first one, the Quiz on Instrumentation, looks fine and next week when participants can enrol in each others's courses you will see that the grades will appear correctly. However, your first question is an essay question which you must grade manually. Thus, participants won't get a final grade unless you mark their essay.

Your other quiz is a Hotpotatoes quiz saved as a resource. This works fine in that students will see a grade but as you have noticed, that grade will not transfer to your gradebook. If you want to use HotPotatoes quizzes in the gradebook, you must either save them as SCORM (it is an option when you save your quiz) and add them to the SCORM part  of the Activity chooser -or your Moodle admin needs to install the HotPot plugin to your site, after which you can simply add regular HotPotatoes quizzes and they will be graded.

If you use a program to make questions that are then saved in XML format, what you have to do to get them into a quiz is used the Import questions feature and then retrieve the questions from your question bank to add into your quiz.
