@Ozzy47 - just installed the updated version of the add-on, and it looks like it's breaking our links. When the add-on is disabled, the links look something like this...

We saw a 16-17% increase in user sessions yesterday, over our average for the last couple weeks. I'll be curious to know if that "negatively impacted search quality" glitch helped us, if something else did, or if it was temporary.

Won't really know until tomorrow, but so far our Analytics show us a little under yesterday. Since the day isn't over, I suspect we'll wind up roughly around the same traffic as yesterday. Will check tomorrow and report back. Google Search Console data seems to take 2-3 days to catch up.

Have you seen this information: https://love2dev.com/pwa/add-to-homescreen-library/ I originally posted it here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/progressive-web-app.181448/post-1444440

Totally agree. If people care about SEO, they should be following Barry's articles and YT channel.

@djbaxter has a point, but before addressing it, here are two blurbs from that article that are important: and The point I agree with djbaxter on is that our sites did not lose traffic because of the May 2020 Google update. Our sites lost traffic because the content that was being ranked was...

+100% -- totally agree. I've never seen a piece of software that has everything we need or want. As long as it has a framework to allow it to be extended easily, then it's good in my book. Truth is, there is a native mobile app for Xenforo available (I've linked to it here), and the pricing is...

I believe you can, with this add-on from @truonglv https://xenforo.com/community/resources/native-mobile-apps-ios-and-android.7319/ We may use that for iPhone, and wait for PWA for Android Users. Still determining next steps for us.

I suppose it depends on how you implement it. If you made the solution only visible/accessible to iOS users, and limited it to certain type of Alerts, it may not amount to very much. For example, in one of my other projects, we're sending SMS messages, using two different SMS messaging...

This is a great article about PWA on iOS. https://love2dev.com/pwa/ios/ One idea the writer mentions is using SMS/Text Messaging instead of Push Notifications on iOS. Now that's a pretty interesting idea worth exploring IMO. Curious as to what others think about that as a fallback solution...

What would be the cost to sponsor their addition?

Ha, good advice!

Oh, interesting. That makes sense -- since Google will follow links. Didn't even think about that. Outside of disabling Guest Posting, I'm wondering if there's a way to prevent Google from indexing those reply button links. Maybe change the add-on to flag the reply button link as nofollow...

@JoshyPHP - Any chance you'd consider adding support for Castos.com? Example: https://on-the-cuff.castos.com/podcasts/10156/episodes/frequently-asked-questions-on-mens-style

Any idea why so many threads with /reply?quote=XXXXX would be showing up in Google Search Console > Coverage > Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag Out of 1000 samples, 884 have this reply?quote= issue. No doubt they shouldn't be indexed, but why are those quoted thread links even showing up? Thanks...
