Why not just use that tool on your IPS forum?

It can take Google search results several weeks, if not into months to settle down when you redirect to be URLs etc. It's a waiting game I'm afraid.

But, that's their prerogative. Maybe they don't believe it's a reasonable use of their resources to develop a solution for what it's reasonable to assume would be a small handful of self-hosted clients who may be prepared to both create the correct environment on their side and pay Invision for access to the additional functionality.

I think some on here have a weird sense of entitlement, expecting the same features to be developed for them, despite using what is a different product (self-hosted vs hosted), with a different (cheaper) price.

Or, they're using third party tools, which specialise in privacy law compliance. There are plenty out there.

Almost a full house in web dev jargon there. Good work.

You could, in theory, use the tag manager integration to paste the code in, as that has header and body parts. That said though, have you considered any privacy implications of doing this sort of thing?

This is still happening at the moment.

@Adriano Faria has made an excellent plug-in which goes some way to creating that.

This is surely a quite major bug, why not patch it?

I think the truth of the situation is that the clients on these forums aren't really the clients that Invision are developing their products for. I suspect it's mostly (perhaps almost solely) the priorities of and feedback from enterprise clients which is driving their development and future planning. I'm sure it's part of the reason why there's a reasonable sub section of those on these forums who clearly feel undervalued right now (along with price hikes, changes to support, long lived bugs, and parts of the software suffering from a lack of attention). It's also the reason why some of the communication from Invision can come across as a bit tone deaf and rile people up at times. I'm not criticising particularly, as far as I'm concerned it's just the way it is. It's just a case of matching expectations to reality in my mind.

Not necessarily. Google is unlikely to spider your whole site that frequently. So as it discovers the old URLs are gone and have been redirected to new ones, it'll be taking the old ones out of the index and replacing them with the new ones. (Assuming you've set up the redirects properly - eg if you go to the old URLs they 301 redirect to the new ones). That all takes a bit of time, particularly in terms of ranking the new URLs in hopefully similar positions to where they were.

It's not unusual for a large site to take a few months to settle down in the search results after a migration.

I think it takes a while to clear, if I remember correctly.

Are you bored there or something?

You just need to use SMTP.

Yes, we're on the latest version. It was fine on one of our themes (a slightly changed version of the default theme), but was missing on our default. Very strange.

Thanks, digging deeper it looks like a weird theme issue. In our customised themes, this line was missing from the top of the clubsForums code: I'm not sure what would cause that to not be included?

There appears to be a bug which throws a template error when a member without permissions to use sticky notes is using the community

We've come across a bug with this. If you have it set to show "Only Forums from Clubs that I am member", it throws a template error when guests or members who aren't in any clubs view the forum index page.

I assume you have an AdSense ad on the page with the records on? If that is the case, that's how AdSense can 'see' it, because the ad will be loading when a member views the page. That being the case, the error it gives would then prove all is working well, as its crawler (which views the page as a guest) can't see it.

99% of the time, these sort of things turn out to be user error, like a typo in the email address or mistake with the password. I know you're convinced you're putting in the correct details, but I'd double check / reset the password etc, just in case.

Seems to be becoming a real issue. It's a shame, as you'd think with it being so much easier to install plugins from the marketplace now that developers would benefit. But clearly there are other factors at play. IPS need to show their third party developers some love before the situation worsens further.

You'd need to cache to the database or a separate redis server. Then the web servers don't have anything on them other than the PHP files etc. And yes, of course you will need a method to update all of your servers when updating the software.

You could look at running mod_pagespeed to automate this.
