Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 15, 20196 yr On this topic, in my ticket after many research, in version 4.4.1, @bfarber said to include a patch in the next version to fix these records errors ... Yes, however, these record log errors continue. 2S119/1 Something went wrong.

Next visit from this bot but another machine causes this error - another machine has another session guest but uses an indexed address ... Will the IPS find a solution to this?
April 16, 20196 yr We added a rel=nofollow attribute to the link. There is no way to outright block a bot from visiting the URL, but we have instructed search engine spiders not to follow the link in the future.
April 17, 20196 yr Yes, and it doesn't cause any harm if they do visit the URL when they don't honor the directive. It would generate a log and email, potentially depending upon your configuration, however the default notifications are for level 3 and above (not level 2, which this error is). If they did follow the link with a correct CSRF key, it would simply dismiss the cookie notification terms for the bot. In short, there's no real harm here. We added a nofollow directive to reduce spiders wasting their time with the link unnecessarily.
