Those are related to the ads on your website, not Invision.

If you do not own it, you can scrape the content. If there is a copyright, it is illegal.

Not a bug, just a suggestion to have a default “guest” author in the mark up.

This wouldn't make sense and would probably be unhelpful in search as those posts attributed to a default single author would actually have been written by multiple people. 

I think having no author details is the best thing to do with it.

Is the person in the UK logged in? If not, they'll be getting a cached view, which on the Invision cloud is 10-15 minutes, which would explain the delay?

Thank you, and yes I saw that, however I'm curious to hear what the "more" part is - to determine if it's worth a $80/month upgrade from my current plan. 

You could take a free trial to have a look?

Are there any plans to build on this? The initial implementation is fine as a start point, but at the moment it's hard to do anything about it, if there are a reasonable number of members in the list.

It would be good to have a way to contact them all in bulk - maybe with an alert. Or if that's not possible, to be able to put them into a particular usergroup in bulk, so that then they could be contacted through the alerts system. 

Right now, you have to go through each one individually if you want to do anything proactive, which is quite painful.

My personal take is that we can wait for Google to scrape all of our content to start offering AI generated summaries on Google (which is already happening - hello Bard!), or we can start doing it ourselves.

You can block ai scrapers to stop that happening.

Ask them if they have an ad blocker, and if so to try with it switched off.

Have you checked your server (not invison) logs at these times?

We're seeing the same things in the EU data centre. It's so frequent at the moment, and very frustrating, particularly as support replies essentially amount to 'it's not happening now, so I can't investigate'. 

We'll be heading back to self-hosted if it continues, sadly. 

It's the SMTP server side.

I'd really recommend cloudflare. If your host is relying on manually putting IP addresses into a firewall to block things like this, then that's always going to be a struggle. 

@Daniel F's seo essentials addon is very handy for this sort of thing.

Ok that makes sense, thanks! I'll continue to request indexing manually then.

Make sure you link to it from your forum pages as well; that ought to encourage google to crawl it.

Again, this happens only with Articles from Pages. Forum topics are indexed without manual intervention in under 3 hours. 

Google will prioritise which parts of a site to crawl more frequently. I'd assume your forum is more active than your pages articles, so it's crawling for fresh content on a regular basis. 

It can also be cloudflare which blocks this - if you have it, whitelist your own IP. 

Start.pl is a perl script, that'll be unrelated to anything on invision community I think, as that's all PHP based. Do you use Perl for other things on that server?

That's not spam prevention though is it? It sounds like the sort of thing you'd use a firewall for. Plus, with VPN's and the fact people travel a lot, do you really want to block someone just for not being in the country you may expect them to be in?

How’s the music on this one @Dll?

You've moved out of the eighties, so it's a start.

Unfortunately, I am not having an issue with this. When I select a forum in Community Hive's settings in your ACP and then save and then go to another page and back, I am seeing the selection still present.

Thanks Jim, I can see the settings you changed have stuck in there since Friday, which is weird. I wanted to test changing everything back to 'all', but it's throwing this error for me currently:

Anything you like to be honest

Ok, thanks regarding permissions that's good to know. 

We've not been using the beta at all. 

Hi, we signed up to hive to test it earlier but it appears it defaults to importing all content (even content guests can't see etc) and in the ACP, if you select which forums etc you would like it to import, those settings don't stay saved. (Eg - save them, come out of the page and go back in, and it's back to defaulting to all content). 

I'd recommend having a read of this - Google is specific in there that you shouldn't be using cloaking for paywalled content, and that you should be using structured data for it instead.
