    Sheffielder reacted to The Old Man in Can't edit my default theme   
    If you have Wordpress, I recently had to remove the Wordfence plugin (an excellent software firewall/security plugin) because it kept stopping me editing settings and templates in AdminCP, even though I told it to ignore my IPS Community folder. It got to the point where I was concerned about upgrades being interfered with.

    They are probably SEO spiders from a service indexing site items.

    That means the issue is with your theme. You'll need to fix it (if you made it) or reach out to the theme creator (or hire someone to fix it for you).

    Sheffielder reacted to Morrigan in Reply box at bottom of topics to always show open   
    @Sheffielder There is currently no way to do this. Its intended to be this way to prevent the javascript and whatnot from loading every time the page loads (it speeds up the loading process).

    Sheffielder reacted to bfarber in Search index 4.8 gig, reputation index 1.1 gig - too big?   
    For the search index if the size is a concern, you can configure your site to only store the last X days in the search index (e.g. you could limit to the last 365 days of data, but note that you won't be able to search for content older than this if you do).

    Sheffielder reacted to Cemmos in Google AdSense Auto Ads   
    Yeah, that's definitely something to think about. But one thing that I like about Google is that they're very much against ad-spam themselves. I noticed that there won't even be ads on pages where there's very little content (like text). It also seems to insert ads decently in article body text, but I've noticed that sometimes they leave big white gaps where an ad should be. For someone that really likes to make sure a site looks nice, that bit is a little jarring. 
    On an old forum of mine, it inserts an ad something like every 2-3 posts down and actually looks fairly tasteful.
    Overall, I think it's a nice way to get ad placements on a site, but it does need some tinkering on Google's end. I can't speak for earnings yet since it hasn't even been a full day since I put them on a few sites I run. Haven't yet put it on my Invision Community though, except when I was testing some things.

    Sheffielder reacted to Matt in Large community? You have a problems with sitemap!   
    Ok, so it's worth rounding up what Invision Community DOES do in terms of SEO.
    Auto generated meta tags for description Custom meta tag editor for finer control in a single area Uses appropriate header codes 200 for OK, 301 for redirects, 303 for 'the page is actually here', 404 for not founds, 403s for permission errors, etc Uses appropriate HTML markup to highlight important content (h1, h2, etc) Uses rewritten URLs for a cleaner structure packed with keywords Creates and submits a sitemap to show Google which URLS are important to your community Uses nofollow where appropriate to stop pages like 'Contact Us' from being crawled Uses JSON-LD micro data markup to tell Google about what data they are seeing and how it should be used Allows easy integration with Google Search Console for tracking Uses https Has a responsive theme which gets the "Mobile Friendly" badge Here's what is coming in 4.3
    Meta description expanded to 300 characters Ability to rebuild your entire sitemap quickly Lastmod tag added to sitemap files Not to mention other retention tools like
    Bulk emailing tool available Emailed notifications Promote to social media Share to social media There seems to be a level of worry in this topic, and while I'm happy to field any questions you have, Google is a bit mysterious and prone to changing things overnight.
    We adhere to good standards and do all the right things as you can see from this list.
    We are not adverse to change and adding new features, but we never do it in a panic or with a knee-jerk until we get some hard evidence which supports the reason for change.
    We have been monitoring our own Google Search Console and clicks/impressions are up, indexes are down slightly, but Google has seen them and flagged them as 'discovered'. These tend to be profiles from people who have never posted (and we have about 200k of those alone).
    I do not believe we are facing any crisis, or that anything is substantially wrong.
    We can always do better, and we're listening. We just need a little more than a few charts to go on before we make drastic change.
