We'll after some more investigation, someone was able to reproduce exactly what you were experiencing, Mick. So it is not your computer. Sometimes it would work correctly, but with a shift + refresh on IE8, sometimes the Windows OS sub categories would disappear and sometimes it would show the Mac OS forums. Very strange indeed. I'm going to have someone look into this and I do apologize for this issue and hopefully they would be...
