 We want our users and developers to stay in touch and work together to make !VirtualBox the virtualization solution of choice. To support these goals, we have the following tools in place:
 
- * '''[http://forums.virtualbox.org/ Forums.]''' Use the forums if you would like to discuss about !VirtualBox. This is also the primary place you should go to if you have problems using !VirtualBox.
+ * '''[http://forums.virtualbox.org/ Forums.]''' The !VirtualBox forums are where the community can come together to help each other and to discuss !VirtualBox. The forums should be your first port of call if you have problems using !VirtualBox (or if you wish to help others solve problems!), since this frees up the developers' time for making !VirtualBox even better.  However, bear in mind that the developers can not read everything written in the forums, so if an issue does appear to be a problem in VirtualBox do not hesitate to report it on the mailing lists or the bugtracker.
 
  * '''[wiki:"Mailing_lists" Mailing lists.]''' You can subscribe to the user and developer mailing lists to discuss issues by e-mail.
 
- * '''[wiki:"Bugtracker" Public bugtracker.]''' Use this to report problems about !VirtualBox and make suggestions for improvement; all you need is a [wiki:"User_accounts" user account] with this site. 
+ * '''[wiki:"Bugtracker" Public bugtracker.]''' Use this to report problems in !VirtualBox and make suggestions for improvements; all you need is a [wiki:"User_accounts" user account] with this site.  If you are unsure whether your issue is a problem in !VirtualBox, we suggest that you discuss it in the forums or on the mailing lists first.
 
  * '''[wiki:"IRC" Internet Relay Chat (IRC).]''' Use one of our live chat channels to talk to other users and developers.
