 ## Questions and Discussion
 
-### Forum and IRC
+### Looking for help?
 
 jQuery is so popular that many developers have knowledge of its capabilities and limitations. Most questions about using jQuery can be answered on popular forums such as [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com). Please start there when you have questions, even if you think you've found a bug.
 
-The jQuery Core team watches the [jQuery Development Forum](https://forum.jquery.com/developing-jquery-core). If you have longer posts or questions that can't be answered in places such as Stack Overflow, please feel free to post them there. If you think you've found a bug, please [file it in the bug tracker](#how-to-report-bugs). The Core team can be found in the [#jquery-dev](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=jquery-dev) IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.

 Most bugs reported to our bug tracker are actually bugs in user code, not in jQuery code. Keep in mind that just because your code throws an error inside of jQuery, this does *not* mean the bug is a jQuery bug.

 ### Simplify the test case
 
-When experiencing a problem, [reduce your code](https://webkit.org/quality/reduction.html) to the bare minimum required to reproduce the issue. This makes it *much* easier to isolate and fix the offending code. Bugs reported without reduced test cases take on average 9001% longer to fix than bugs that are submitted with them, so you really should try to do this if at all possible.

 ### Test Suite Tips...
 
-During the process of writing your patch, you will run the test suite MANY times. You can speed up the process by narrowing the running test suite down to the module you are testing by either double clicking the title of the test or appending it to the url. The following examples assume you're working on a local repo, hosted on your localhost server.
