Our swarm has moved to using fake safari browsers, so trying this WAF rule set to managed challenge in addition to @Anthony Parsons chrome/mozilla rules. Those rules, btw, are blocking over 4MM request per day with 0% challenge success rate :cool: ( http.user_agent contains "Mozilla/5.0"...

Thank you for sharing your browser impersonator and search protection rules. Testing those out now, and they seem to be very useful already.

Hi! Sometime in the past month, I started getting reports of users getting email after email for alerts, with no new visit to the thread. It seems like the Persistent Alert - Suppress Persistent Emailing If enabled, users will still receive consecutive alerts but they won't receive another...

Looks interesting!

This worked for me in our nginx config (thanks chatgpt): # Google sitemap filename workaround # /sitemap10.xml -> internally serve sitemap.php?c=10 rewrite "^/sitemap([0-9]{2,})\.xml$" /sitemap.php?c=$1 last; it removes the hyphen. There's some bug with google's regex recognizing the "-xx"...

I received no notification, but I’m not sure if GSC has some notification options I wasn’t using. I wish I had notification rather than finding out manually after a couple weeks of declining ad revenue. Our GA4 is so overloaded with bots I don’t get any reliable info from that.

This next step was not supposed to go into effect until next month. Our search presence was being wiped out starting August 10th. I guess we’re the lucky ones to have an early rollout. I’m afraid everyone needs Google, and are going to allow training. There’s no other option. We also...

Thought I'd share this here as I love my fellow community managers. If you run Cloudflare with "block AI trainers", check your Google search console now. Our indexed URL's went from over 1MM to less than 1,000, we are effectively wiped from their index...

Thank you for this, I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Same here. From Brazil. "Traffic" will spike 500%. Hosting the JS on our domain makes the problem way worse. Blocking BR in Cloudflare has little effect.

Just giving this a bump to see if y'all believe disabling Super Bot Fight Mode is the best course, or has CF gotten better at detection? We had CF Enterprise but the cost was too much for us after a year. But Bot Management sure was awesome. Since downgrading to Super Bot Fight Mode we've had...

Hi! I'm loving this so far! We got an F lol. Question: We have like 5000 threads with no meta description (going back 25 years), and they are pure crap threads with no content in the first post. Is there a way to mass delete these?

Hi! First, thanks for this fantastic add-on :) If I was partially through a dp:migrate-data process to move internal_data/attachments, and then decided to keep things in the local filesystem, I don't need to do anything other than flip the toggle in the admincp right? Because no files were...

I'm loving what this addon could potentially do for our 20-year-old database. However I cannot get past the first step, of indexing our links. Even with the default 100 items per page, it hangs and I get a cloudflare timeout. So weird because our server is extremely robust. Our database has...

Loving this addon so far. Would anyone who's been using this for a while, like to share their configurations for warning and forced views counts? Has anyone had a drop in their pages viewed per session metric?
