To do this: Click your avatar in the top right. In the resulting popup, click anywhere in the top cell that’s outside of the Edit Profile link. And yeah, I agree that this is quite non-obvious. We have a bug tracking that (r. 66042728). Yeah - that doesn't work - maybe it's been 'fixed' You now have to click on your Avater and then click on your Avatar in the top cell.

Hi Quinn - thanks for taking the time for me. I posted the bug - FB8699241 - regarding whitespace. I also tried a number of your suggestions, and find that it just feels cludgy and workround-y I think most really good developers have just abandoned the forums. In my post over on the swift forum [... well there is no "over on ... " in this new world, so in the big, massive pile of messages tagged with various random tags, and hopefully somewhere by adding lots of filters and gueswork I might be able to find my way back to my own message], I added a reply you your latest reply. The new reply that I made just appeared at a random place in all the other replies - which makes it utterly impossible to read the question, and the replies, in any logical order that makes sense to me. OK, OK - I hear you say "quote the thing your replying to" but it stillo forces the user to track and order these things in the head, rather than on the screen. I have one suggestion that will fix all the problems: Simply make "h.t.t.p.s://de.v.e.l.o.p.e.r.a.p.p.l.e...c.o.m./.f.o.r.u.m.s." point to w.ww.st.a.c.k.e.x.ch.a.n.g.e...c.o.m. and we're done!

I got this working :-) But I wimped out :-( I just lifted my Obj-c code from the previous project, added the bridging header and viola! It just worked. So I guess that's OK - not 100% sure what the implications are (Is obj-c being deprecated? How long before I just have to figure out how to do all this in Swift?) I did try to get it working in Swift (Targetting iOS 13) but gave up - the time/gain balance was all wrong for now. Thanks @Quinn - your help is invaluable!

@Quinn Thanks again - I will look at your attachment and see if I can get my head round it. I truly wish I could target just iOS 14 - but I'm afraid I can't :-( You're right - I said SwiftUI, but I meant Swift... having done Objective-C for the past 15+ years, my old brain is finding it hard to migrate to Swift, but one must move with the times! I remember when we used to get Apple Developer tools shipped to us by UPS on CD's! My first apps were home-automation apps using Xcode and IB... now I'm doing some really cool stuff with Film and TV makers on movie sets using loads of UDP... whenever I post one of my silly questions I always hope I'll get an answer from Quinn The Eskimo! Thanks again. :-)

@Quinn The Eskimo Once again I am in your debt! Yes I need to support multicast addresses and iOS13 as a minimum - so BSD Sockets it is! Fortunately I alreadu have a load of BSD stuff in the previous version of this app (Obj-C, Cocoa) which I will now try to port oevr to SwiftUI. Wish me luck as I google how to call C style code from SwitfUI..... Thanks again! .ps. I really don't like these new forums.. I guess Apple would prefer us to use Stackexchange.
