    Hi DawPi, just a suggestion for future updates.
    Profile privacy options:
    profile is open for all profile is open for registered users only profile is open for (approved) followers only profile closed for all (Except for Admin/Mods) At present it really is "closed for all", so I often find that I have to login as that member when I need to access their profile for whatever reason. Cheers.

    I've also added @DawPi's new article comment sitemap:
    https://www.celiac.com/sitemap_comments.php
    Unless I've missed something I believe I now have ALL content in my site mapped in agonizing detail! 😅

    It's base on a posts count:
    if ( \IPS\Settings::i()->sitemap_profiles_content > 0 ) { $where = array( array( 'member_posts >= ?', \IPS\Settings::i()->sitemap_profiles_content ) ); }

    So the profile's do exist in the default sitemap, and there are various settings for the profiles in the system, so doing another sitemap for them was unnecessary (I did add the Profile Meta Tags plugin, because profiles did not include that data by default). Given how important EAT is in google's ranking now, the profiles in IPS seem to have, at least until recently, been sorely neglected...especially for sites like mine that use Pages and have thousands of articles by authors with high EAT authority. 
    I am currently using the mentioned custom posts sitemap:
    https://www.celiac.com/sitemap_posts.php
    and custom extra pages sitemap, so that posts on pages like this one, #11 in this thread, will be in my sitemap (they are not currently for an unknown reason):
    https://www.celiac.com/sitemap_pages.php
    and I will soon be launching a new article comments custom sitemap, that will basically do the same as the posts sitemap, but for comments on my articles.
    So far the improvement I am seeing has been across the board, so an increase in natural search traffic, total number of keywords for which my site ranks, etc. 
    Of course this could all be just coincidence...has anyone else here who has complained about having a high rate of "Crawled but not in google's index" seen any improvement like I've demonstrated? If so, please share it here.

    As a general SEO rule, the more keywords your site is ranking for, the more organic search traffic you should see, and this is simply because there are more possible ways to find your site in search. I saw the number of keywords that my site was ranking for drop in unison with the number of pages that were crawled but not in their index--it looked to me like a direct correlation--and it makes sense, because if 85% of my forum's pages are de-indexed, then so are any key words associated with those pages.
    I think the first step for anyone with the same issue is to get de-indexed content back in the search engine, and to do this Google says to either submit each page one by one in GSC, or include them in your sitemap. 
    Can anyone think of a reason, for example, why profiles would not need to be in the sitemap? In my case I have hundreds of profiles from doctors, researchers, etc., who have written articles for me for over 20 years, and they should give my site and very nice EAT score from Google, yet IPB does not include them in the sitemap, thus, sending a message to Google that the content is not valuable enough for their index. From what I've seen all my site's profiles are not in the index, not just the ones without content--ALL of them. Once I'm finished with the custom profile sitemap I predict all profile pages with content will actually be indexed.

    @DawPi has completed the custom sitemap application that I mentioned which handles all posts. You can see an example of it here:
    https://www.celiac.com/sitemap_posts.php
    but it is modeled after the existing sitemap--but this one handles just forum posts. We were not able to add a minimum word count to this application, as one person suggested, because it slowed things down and put a load on the CPU. We were, however, able to add the ability to exclude certain forums, for example my site has around 25 different forums, so I was able to exclude a general chit chat and a technical support forum that are more or less off the main topic of my site.
    Whether or not this will be a benefit or liability in Google search is an open question, but I'll follow up here with any noticeable changes, positive or negative.
    I believe this will have positive results, simply because we are making it easier for Google to index specific content and allow them to provide more relevant search results for any given query. Currently Google's results may send people to a topic page like this one /page/10/, and the person who searched will still have to fish on it for the specific results of their query. With all posts indexed, Google should be able to send the person directly to the content that answers their query...at least that is my hope here.

    Hello Dawid,
    Thank you very much for taking the time to reply, and for the information on the plugin.
    I have purchased and installed it, however it isn't working.   Have followed the instructions and double checked twice, with no luck.
    Have contacted their support and hopefully will hear back soon.  Fingers Crossed!

    I think that is possibly by design to prevent 'accidents' from those who discover it by accident and then try things without realising the serious nature of the tool. It has been known.

    For the record in case anyone else gets the same issue, this also can be solved by executing the command in the Webmin tool instead of phpmyadmin

    I love this plugin, it's so handy!
    Would it be possible, please, to add a list somewhere of all topics I've added notes to (only publicly visible to me)? Something like "Noted Topics" for instance?
    Unless I’m missing where it might be (if such a list exists), I might forget that I’ve added a note to a topic or I might forget which topic I’ve added a note to, so I have to scroll through pages and pages of topics to look for the icon next to the topic title.

    Think I found the issue I was experiencing, go to settings and change Conversations per page from default 10 to 40, first couple of pages show conversations but further pages shows  Nothing to show.
    Change Conversations per page back to default (10) and all conversation show again?
    When I re-installed it reset to default 10 that's why I thought I had fixed the issue, not a problem though as I will use it at default
