I used JUpdate to update a joomla 1.5.23 site to 2.5
when i tried to re-link the content area to the article i cant find the position from my main content area in the menu anymore.
the left sidebar is still there and also the right one.
Can anyone shine some light on this? i already tried all the positions from the template twice but i cant seem to find it?

I'm not too sure why you used JUpdate to update to 2.5. I personally don't always trust 3rd party extensions to update the CMS as it sometimes causes problems. What you should do is (providing you have a backup of your old 1.6 site):
Update:
change this:
<?php if($this->params->get('showComponent')) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<?php endif; ?>
to this:
<jdoc:include type="component" />
So basically remove the PHP that is wrapped around
