Since it is labeled "archive footage" you have to click the Archive Footage section in the menu under Credits to see the credit.

Why is it archive footage, though?

Thanks for the heads up. Odd that it would appear differently on my page regardless of the category. It remains another credit, and all film and TV is archival once it airs. ;-) Again, my thanks for your response. Much appreciated!!

Happy New Year!!!

They wouldn't accept the credit as just another credit and it was rejected. I don't know why. It isn't like I haven't been in the business for 46 years with a resume. It was an early on camera job with little or no references to be found. So I hunted it down and found the only proof I could, a copy of the show posted on an overseas YouTube page. Therefore, the only way that IMDB would allow me the credit was to actually show them the footage. I had no idea that this meant the credit would be obscured somehow. Truly makes no sense to me at all. But then, I am only a foot soldier in the grand scheme of things IMDB. That's entertainment!!

It is a good idea to include evidence in such submissions; this is done in the explanation field.

It is stated in the form that the attribute field is usually empty, and there are links to further guidelines, so there was no reason to put "archive footage".
