Wondering what are the SEO implications of copying duplicate content, sending backlinks etc.! Any tips to safely avoid them....? How to exclude certain forum (news feed) to get index?

I moved to IPS from another software solution due to the ability to create many different sections on my site, a complete web site. This great power is now a problem for me in terms of a good nav structure and I am interested to hear your ideas on what I could do. Firstly I so very much believe in: Out of Sight, Out of Mind So if a user can't easily see and access something they may never know it is there plus you add that menu real estate is really a premium and is the 2nd most important component of a site behind the Home Page. My user strongly prefer the vertical navigation system on the side that exists in most apps these days so I had one created.…

Hello, I know that there is a feature to enable paid clubs where users pay to join a club. I also know that I can set a recurring membership to upgrade a member to a specific usergroup with permissions to create a club.

Is it possible to allow members to withdraw from their account credit without me needing to manually approve? At the moment I have everything set up and working so I just need to click the ✅ once they have requested to withdraw and the money gets sent from my PayPal to theirs, but it would be great if I didn’t need to do that so they could get their money instantly. Is this possible? i already changed the settings to not require approval but it still asks me to approve them

Is there a way for each club to show topics - from its club only - in a sidebar within its own section? Unless I'm missing something, if you put a Topic Feed it pulls it from forums in the main community. Thanks.

Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to hide poll percentages from our members so that they can come in, vote on a topic, and the results are only visible to admins so that we can have a grand reveal of what the winning choice ultimately was. Right now I only see you can hide member names from being public, but that the poll percentages will still show, giving away our winner or how close the race really is. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance!

My community currently only distinguishes between "Guests" and "Members." I do not have a "Validating" primary group. Is that a normal thing to have? How do the rest of you setup your primary user groups for new members? I want to ensure only validated emails are able to post and comment, etc.
