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).

the forum only seems to archive posts from 2021 onwards.

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).
Share and Enjoy

The "Remind me later" button doesn't work on the "Customize your experience with Apple Developer" page on the Developer Forums. It just redirects me back to the same page.

It would be helpful to be able to upload short videos to the Developer Forums.

Dragging and dropping images to forum posts doesn't work. It just inserts text with the image file path.

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:
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://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706527).
It would be helpful to have an option for filtering searches on the Developer Forums by date created or date of last activity.

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://developer.apple.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://developer.apple.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://developer.apple.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?
Currently when searching on the Apple Developer Forums it shows the current page number but doesn't show how many pages of results there are total. It would be nice if it also showed the total number of pages of results.
