And just to add; there are several virtualbox specific locations for
assistance:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Community
The current preference by VirtualBox is to use the forums:
http://forums.virtualbox.org/
However, there is also a new 'user' community mailing list (the one
originaly supported by VirtualBox is being shut down) that can be found
here:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
Note: there isn't much traffic there yet, so you can also review the
original list archives to check to see if your issue has already been
addressed there:
http://www.mail-archive.com/vbox-users@virtualbox.org/
