The VideoLAN Forums

This is probably buried under "Linux and friends," but, for obvious reasons, I suggest that you should create a separate VLC Media Player category for it, for clarity and common usage. We geeks understand that Mac OS is a Linux/Unix variant, but the average person with a Mac probably has no clue.

I now clearly see that category has existed there. I should've taken a screenshot, because no one would otherwise believe me that it wasn't visible last night. Perhaps I was in some sort of new view filter mode? (I just signed up last night.) I can't reproduce this--making it not appear by visiting prior links from my browser history. So it just looks like I couldn't see it, despite all of the Troubleshooting categories being grouped together. I can't explain this either, unless this was some sort of glitch. So just consider me crazy for now! Thanks.

Could be a phpBB bug. It would not be the first (nor the last) time.
