Contribution to Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips
Hi Quinn, if I may add a point 10 to your (very meaningful) list: when pasting images, think of reducing the size (can edit simply the image ref by dividing a dimension by 2) to avoid huge images that clutter the screen. When you get an answer, please indicate if that solved the issue, if not explain what is not working. And don't forget to close the thread by marking the correct answer once you got it.

Need help changing the correct/accepted answer on a forum thread
In this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/705281 (which I am the original poster), I have marked my own post as the accepted answer. I did that before I got input from Quinn on how to achieve what I was after. I have posted that information in a subsequent post in that thread here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/705281?answerId=712746022#712746022. Can someone please mark this as the correct answer? I tried but I don't see any option to do it myself. P.S: In some forum threads, I see that things like these are sorted through direct messages sometimes. But I can't see any place in my profile where I can send a direct message from. Does that feature require some level of forum points?

Problem linking to another post on the forum
In answering a question, I'm trying to link to another thread on this forum, that answers the same question. Composing my answer, I'm getting the message: "Please fix the following URL related errors:" "This domain is not a permitted domain on this forums." https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/698055  (It seems that I can post the URL as a code block, as above, but not as a link.) So Apple Developer Forum posts can't be linked, on the Apple Developer Forum?

Forums Missing Answers / Stale Content on Refresh
Hi, anyone noticed refresh issues for authenticated users with the forums recently where answers are missing or disappear / reappear on refresh? Test: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/703262 Looks like a load balancer issue at least for AU / NZ. OK Via: https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-lx-007.ts.apple.com (acdn/141.13253), https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-bx-015.ts.apple.com (acdn/141.13253) Via: https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-lx-008.ts.apple.com (acdn/141.13253), https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-bx-002.ts.apple.com (acdn/141.13253) FAILS Via: https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-lx-007.ts.apple.com (acdn/141.13253), https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-bx-008.ts.apple.com (acdn/141.13253) Via: https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-lx-008.ts.apple.com (acdn/141.13253), https/1.1 ausyd2-edge-bx-020.ts.apple.com (acdn/140.13252) Also noticed some mismatched versions on the Apple CDN. ie acdn/141.13253 vs acdn/140.13252

Profiles and Logs - Download link is incorrect
**Profiles and Logs - Download link is incorrect ** I know how to download a profile / log but what gets downloaded is not what I want I download sysdiagnose (Unredacted) and Software Update both for iOS and both download the same incorrect profile Messages (iOS). It happens every time I download these two profiles / logs. Apple Developer refuse to give tech support because I have no paid membership but I do have a basic developer account and as such these profiles / logs are available for download but Apple are being unreasonable refusing to give tech support regarding these profiles / logs. Apple told me to use the forums but I cannot see how a forum can help unless I suppose a paid member takes my case up with Apple Developer on my behalf. Anyway here goes nothing

How do I make a link to a specific answer instead of the entire post?
How do I get the answer id of an answer in a thread? I would like to know how to create a link to a specific answer of a post so I can refer to a specific answer rather than to the top of the page of the post. I noticed one link went to this address - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/67535?answerId=195112022#195112022. That's where I learned about the "answerId" item.

FxPlug API and camera data
Hi thereQuite new to the FxPlug SDK and had a look through it. I wondered whether there was a way for a plug-in to set and get the positions of tracked points that the user has set up (in a behaviour object) and whether it was possible to set keyframes on the active camera via this interface.I can't see anything obvious in the methods, apart from a 4x4 matrix object that might relate to the active camera, I don't know, but wondered whether it might be possible if the user e.g. dropped the active camera object onto the plug-in in the Inspector view... could we get a handle on it then? Similarly if they drop an Analyze motion behaviour onto the plug in, can we get access to its track points?Any examples that are knocking about would be very useful. Seems a lot of the documentation is a little out of date (at least that I've found so far).In hope and with thanks,

iPhone for testing
I am preparing to use an iPhone 5 to use for testing apps with XCode. I have restored the iPhone to factory settings without using a passcode. Now the iPhone and iTunes are asking for an Apple ID to activate the iPhone -- the Apple ID associated with this iPhone. That Apple ID is already being used with another iPhone. What should I do? Is there a way to bypass using an Apple ID altogether? Can one Apple ID be used with two different iPhones?

How to expose custom parameters to FCPX via Motion
I have created a custom parameter via the FxParameterCreationAPI and it shows up and works fine in motion.I'd like to expose that parameter to Final Cut Pro using a motion effect template but, I can't select the "Publish parameter" menu entry like it's the case with standard parameter types. The same also happens for the OptionsDialog example in the FxPlug SDK.Any hints on how I can achieve that?Thanks.Best,Ray

Forum full of spammers
Hello Apple, I would like to say that the forum is really full of spam messages saying “call” “girls” please provide to delete them because they’re very irritating. I really think that this space is for developers, for who has some doubts and so they can receive help, but despite there are some people like the spammers who doesn’t care about anything. Please Apple help us.

Bookmark or watch forum thread?
I realize I can bookmark using a web browser but that's not ideal. Is there a way to watch a thread with the new forums and have it show up under your profile? I feel like I am missing something very obvious here.
