title : Additional jQuery Support
3+
---
4+
5+
While we hope to cover most jQuery-related topics on this site, you may need additional or more immediate support. The following resources can prove useful.
6+
7+
### Official Forums
8+
9+
http://forum.jquery.com/
10+
11+
There are many subforums where you can discuss jQuery, ask questions, talk about JavaScript, or announce your plugins.
12+
13+
* [Getting Started](http://forum.jquery.com/getting-started)
14+
* This is the best place to post if you are brand new to jQuery and JavaScript.
15+
* [Using jQuery](http://forum.jquery.com/using-jquery)
16+
* This is the best place to post if you have general questions or concerns.
17+
* If you've built a site that uses jQuery, or would like to announce a new plugin, this is the place to do it.
18+
* [Using jQuery Plugins](http://forum.jquery.com/using-jquery-plugins)
19+
* If you are a plugin author or user and you wish to discuss specific plugins, plugin bugs, new features, or new plugins.
20+
* [Using jQuery UI](http://forum.jquery.com/using-jquery-ui)
21+
* This is the place to discuss use of [jQuery UI](http://jqueryui.com/) Interactions, Widgets, and Effects
22+

24+
* [Developing jQuery Core](http://forum.jquery.com/developing-jquery-core)
25+
* This forum centers around development of the jQuery library itself.
26+
* Post here if you have questions about certain bugs, development with jQuery, features, or anything in the bug tracker or Git.
27+
* [Developing jQuery Plugins](http://forum.jquery.com/developing-jquery-plugins)
28+

29+
* [Developing jQuery UI](http://forum.jquery.com/developing-jquery-ui)
30+
* This is the place to discuss development of [jQuery UI](http://jqueryui.com/) itself - including bugs, new plugins, and how you can help.
31+
* All jQuery UI svn commits are posted to this list to facilitate feedback, discussion, and review.
32+
* Also note that a lot of the development and planning of jQuery UI takes place on the [jQuery UI Development and Planning Wiki](http://wiki.jqueryui.com/).
33+
* [Developing jQuery Mobile](http://forum.jquery.com/developing-jquery-mobile)
34+

35+
* [QUnit and Testing](http://forum.jquery.com/qunit-and-testing)
36+
* This is the place to discuss JavaScript testing in general and QUnit in particular
37+
38+
At the bottom of each of the forums is an RSS feed you can subscribe to.
39+
40+
To ensure that you'll get a useful answer in no time, please consider the following advice:
41+
42+
* Ensure your markup is valid.
43+
* Use Firebug/Developer Tools to see if you have an exception.
44+
* Use Firebug/Developer Tools to inspect the html classes, css. etc.
45+
* Try expected resulting html and css without javascript/jQuery and see if the problem could be isolated to those two.
46+
* Reduce to a minimal test case (keep removing things until the problem goes away, etc.)
47+
* Provide that test case as part of your mail. Either upload it somewhere or post it on jsbin.com.
48+
49+
In general, keep your question short and focused and provide only essential details - others can be added when required.
50+
51+
### Mailing List Archives
52+
53+
The mailing list existed before the forums were created. The mailing lists were closed in early 2010.
54+
55+
There are two different ways of browsing the mailing list archives.
56+
57+
1. The official mailing list archives can be found here:
58+
* [jQuery General Discussion Archives](http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en)
59+
* [jQuery Dev List Archives](http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev)
60+
* [jQuery UI General Discussion Archives](http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui)
61+
* [jQuery UI Dev List Archives](http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui-dev)
62+
* [jQuery Plugins List Archives](http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-plugins)
63+
64+
Also, an interactive, browsable, version of the General Discussion mailing list can be found on [Nabble](http://www.nabble.com/JQuery-f15494.html) (a forum-like mailing list mirror).
65+
66+
### Chat / IRC Channel
67+
68+
jQuery also has a very active IRC channel, **#jquery**, hosted by [freenode](http://freenode.net/).
69+
70+
The IRC Channel is best if you need quick help with any of the following:
71+
72+
* JavaScript
73+
* jQuery syntax
74+
* problem solving
75+
* strange bugs.
76+
77+
If your problem is more in-depth, we may ask you to post to the mailing list, or the bug tracker, so that we can help you in a more-suitable environment.
78+
79+
####Connect info:
80+
81+
**Server:** irc.freenode.net
82+
83+
**Room:** #jquery
84+
85+
You can also connect at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#jquery.
86+
87+
Additionally we have **#jquery-es** and **#jquery-de** if you want to speak your native language.
88+
89+
If you wish to post code snippets to the channel, you should use a paste site, like http://jsfiddle.net/ or http://jsbin.com/
90+
91+
### StackOverflow
92+
93+
There is an active and well-informed support community at [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/jquery). You can likely find an answer for whatever issue you're experiencing. If your question isn't addressed, you can ask a new question and often receive a quick response.
