Developer Forum Link to SIWA documentation incorrect
Hello, I notice the link on top of this site is incorrect: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/tags/sign-in-with-apple-rest-api Its target (https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/sign_in_with_apple_rest_api) does not exist. It should probably be https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/signinwithapplerestapi

Older Posts Code Blocks are broken
It appears that on older posts the code blocks are completely broken. For example https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/678075 show the code block as a single inline value. Looking at the HTML this is what I see generated <code class="hljs block shell language-shell">Code Block shell#!/bin/bashrm -rf output/rm -rf simulator_fat/mkdir simulator_fatlibs=( "lib_static" ) #Add for i in "${libs[@]}"do lipo -create arm64_simulator/$i.a x86_64/$i.a -output simulator_fat/$i.a xcodebuild -create-xcframework -library simulator_fat/$i.a -library arm64/$i.a -output output/$i.xcframeworkdone</code> Obviously newer code blocks seem to be working (as long as the one above is) but it wreaks havoc trying to look at older posts.

Requesting review of repeated incorrect ad flags on my posts; case #102735958673 opened via support page
My original thread ID was: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/805350 This was a technical post with no links to products or services, but directly to native code designed to solve the problem I was posting about. I believe a single unhappy user may be abusing the flagging/reporting feature. I am contesting what this single user has alleged, namely that my content is “advertising.” Under my rights as per the Apple Developer Forums Agreement, I am requesting a review per Apple’s right to monitor and correct moderation actions. Thank you.

Posting forum reply causes an error, but the reply is posted anyway
I've tried several times to post a reply to a message, but I got an error message instead, telling me to try again in a few minutes. I just found out that it did post my replies, without telling me. So now there's many duplicates of the same reply, one for each of my attempts. I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64) on macOS 26.1 (25B78).

Profile Page Doesn't List All Threads
In a completely different thread mungbeans wrote: [quote='865903022, mungbeans, /thread/806960?answerId=865903022#865903022, /profile/mungbeans'] the forum only seems to archive posts from 2021 onwards. [/quote] I didn’t want to hijack that thread so I’ve started this thread for it. AFAICT forums hasn’t lost any content since we moved to a world-readable platform back in 2015. See here for more about that. A quick search suggests that your earliest thread was this: importing Contacts fails with "Cannot import module being compiled". (I’m not sure why I didn’t reply at the time.) What is interesting is that your profile page is only showing threads back to 2021. I see two parts to that: You have to choose Created as the sort order. That’ll show threads you created back to Jul 2016. However, there are still a few threads before Jul 2016 that aren’t showing up. I’m not sure what’s going on there, but I’ve reported it internally (i. 99636235).

Cannot close my own threads
Since recently, when I try to close a thread I created on an answer of mine, I get the following error: Trying later, next day, does not solve it. In the list of all threads, the post is not marked as answered. But if I look via Chrome or plain Safari, I see the answer itself is marked as correct: Which is not the case when opening in Safari Technology Preview (Release 233) where the same answer is still to be accepted:

No more possible to properly size images in a forums post ?
I used to resize images (editing width and height when writing the post) in order to avoid ridiculously large images in reading published post. Since a few weeks, that does not work anymore. When I edit, I see the reduced size in Live Preview: But once posted, images are much larger as seen below: Looks like the image is now resized to fill full width. I filed a bug report: Dec 27, 2025 at 1:43 PM – FB21446929 PS: that change ignores @eskimo wise advice "Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips" n°10 (https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/706527).

"View the thread" link in email notifications could use an improvement
I watch some topics in the developer forums and when those topics are updated, I receive email notifications. That notification contains a link with the text "View the thread" which I believe is meant to take you to the corresponding latest reply in that topic. For example, I was watching this thread https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums//thread/792453 and when the latest reply there was posted to I received the notification with the "View the thread" link which pointed to https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022&replyId=872080022. However, clicking on that link redirects me to the login page. I think it would be better if that link was https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022#872080022 which would have taken me to the appropriate reply without forcing a login. Is that something that can be considered?

Where are the forums heading to ?
Since a few weeks, I feel the content of the forums is less and less interesting. Probably 80% (not to say 90%) of the posts are about complains about review process, a serious question for those who have a problem but questions on which other developers can do absolutely nothing even if they bothered. Forum is becoming a wailing wall. With such a trend (but what to do to change it ?), forums will soon be of no interest at all, which is really unfortunate for the developers community.

Allow suggesting changes to topic and tags on other people's posts
Many posts on the Apple Developer Forums are categorized incorrectly. It would be nice if there was a way to suggest changes to the topic and tags that someone else's post is filed under and have these changes be able to be approved either by a forum admin or the original poster.

Unauthorized: Access to this place or content is restricted
When I was reading a topic written by somebody, suddenly, the web browser (Safari) directed me to this Unauthorized error page. What the hell is this, Apple, Inc? It seems that things are quite chaotic about what Apple, Inc. does these days. I hope they will manage to sort things out.
