Yes, it is.
UPDATE membermap_markers SET marker_last_comment=marker_added WHERE marker_last_comment < 1 OR marker_last_comment IS NULL  

All I did was create a custom ad tag and insert that tag into the global template. Within the ad settings, I have it showing to guests only. I did nt use any IF statements. 

It seemed to display more ads on mobile and it feels like it's slowing down the site a bit on smaller screens. I have everything on in adsense to show and it's too early to make a judgement so I'm going to continue to leave it up for a few days. 

Is this really starting all over again? How many times does it have to be pointed out that URL delisting shown in the Search Console cannot be caused by the sitemap generation?
Listing and delisting happens when Google crawls the actual URL and it is decided based on what it finds on that URL. That’s it!
The sitemap can only help Google to find the URL faster. Nothing in the sitemap will cause an URL to be delisted. How could it? It’s just URLs saying “please check this out, Google!”. No slow or incomplete sitemap will cause delisting. No faulty sitemap will cause delisting. No entirely missing sitemap will cause delisting. Nothing in the sitemap can cause delisting. 
If you find an actual bug in the sitemap creation you can demonstrate to be true, better open a support ticket or start a new topic about this bug and nothing else instead of adding it to this huge pile of “I don’t like my Google stats and I will just blame IPS and ask them to fix it”. 

Is there an easy way to add a feed of clubs as a newsletter block? 

Because downloading wrong version 
Who Was Online 4.2.x by IPS Themes
 

Thanks, I missed that! I see the timestamp now that's it's rebuilt. ?

look top right on the sitemap page?

A new version has been uploaded to the marketplace. Changes include:
Redirected topics were included in the newsletter content. Fixed. Upcoming Events were not respecting the cutoff date. Fixed.  

@Upgradeovec its been about 2 months since this post, has adding this helped with indexing?

I would be willing to test if you like on one of my sites. All these little SEO tweaks in this topic (like this with tags) could really improve organic traffic. 

@AlexWebsites I've done it before - for tests, I've improved the seo for tags and indexed well. I have a modified search.php file somewhere on the disk

Would be interesting to see how those forum sitemaps are formatted, what elements the topic pages include and how much of their topic page sitemap or part of the sitemap is indexed.

Just like I did on Classifieds, it is now available on LD for IPS 4.3:

More features and to make suggestions for the IPS 4.3, go to http://www.sosinvision.com.br/ips4/index.php?/forum/17-suggestions/

This is correct, but Google will not see that as a unique link for that post. It'll see that link as a unique link for that page, which is why it says "Page 5 -".

We do not provide direct permalinks to posts because there is little value, and you create duplicate content. vBSEO did (for a while) load a single post in a new window with a permalink, but that was back in 2008 and I'm sure it's moved on since then.

4.3 also uses 300 characters for meta description

Nice! webshots is now working for me and also tested Miniature.io and its is also working without storing files locally. Thank you. 

@AlexWebsites, will send you a PM now with a new version so you can test. What was done:
- Regarding APIs:
Switched from Webthumbnail.org to Miniature.io dropped Sneak.pw (it seems to be paid now but their site is TOO confusing that I coudn't even find the API to test it out in a trial) Fix the Thumbshots API Added 2 new APIs: Screenshotmachine: allows you to have 100 free screenshots per month. There are paid plans. Urlbox.io: paid service. - New settings:
You now can set how many links you want to show and define its ordering (random or links submission) in Display 'Other links from this category' block? setting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know if anyone else wants to try it out (since you have purchased this resource).

I agree with @opentype I don't think IPS changed much but what I do think is that there is room for improvement. Probably an opportunity for someone to come out with a paid app/plugin or two to create a more robust sitemap, add some additional SEO settings with more dynamic and adjustable meta tags to include tags, adjustable description lengths, bring dynamic keywords using tags, default keywords per forum, page titles, etc. Keywords may not be Google's thing but are still picked up by other sources. Interesting reads regarding description lengths in 2018:
https://moz.com/blog/how-long-should-your-meta-description-be-2018
https://searchengineland.com/google-officially-increases-length-snippets-search-results-287596
https://searchengineland.com/google-fundamentals-writing-meta-descriptions-not-change-longer-search-snippets-288414
I haven't looked into the IPS code that controls the current cutoff but was interested in testing this out by increasing the current dynamic description tag to see if more info is picked up and weighted better.

I just started to review all these API and will probably replace them or fix the ones who can be fixed. The problem here is that the vast majority is paid or the free package is very limited.
Example: I just added Screenshotmachine. Works very nice but it has only 100 screenshots per month in the free plan.

 


 
@AlexWebsites, yes, all APIs handle SSL already:
$apiUrl = \IPS\Request::i()->isSecure() ? 'https://' : 'http://'; $apiUrl .= "api.webthumbnail.org/?"; Except Thumbshots. Will change it to make some tests in a client's board.

I'm not saying your application is bad (yes it works), just the 3rd party thumbnail providers and I was trying to add my "2 cents" to the topic as well as my use of the rebuild tool. Just in case anyone wanted to know what frustrations some of us were experiencing. AlexWebsites did ask "Has anyone else ran into this?" and I was trying to say "yes" and here's what I did.
P.S. I edited my post above to be a bit clearer in meaning.

Good list but I am not for excluding topics with no responses. Most of the time the first post contains all the initial topic content and should index well as long as members aren't starting topics with a very low word count.
