Hagg Lake fishing

It's to do with posts that have a video and no text. It is known about:

I just want to provide some clarity, at least. You may get warnings in Search Console in two situations:

• Posts which only contain an image, video, or other embedded content (because we filter BBCode out of the structured data representation)
• Posts from guests (because they have no profile to link to)

The changes here will make those warnings go away. In the former case because the text for all posts will now contain BBCode, and in the latter case because all guest posts will now link to /members/. We already set the post URL and author name so those ones shouldn't be...

I Just received this from Google:

Either 'text', 'image' or 'video' should be specified

If this fixes the above, it should be in the core code

I follow everyone's explanations, especially from the XF team, but it's quite incomprehensible that we can't get rid of these warnings from the GSC. Is there no definitive and effective solution? Resource review fields are also systematically flagged, why? No definitive solution there too? I'm really perplexed by this...

Thanks for your quick reply Mr Lucky!
It's not just for me, so that's good. )
But, all those 3 thread pages mentioned above don't have video, have text and images. So in my case it's about some other reason.

Lakes - Henry Hagg Lake Fishing Reports

I fished Henry Hagg Lake on Saturday, March 16th and it was a beautiful morning. The bite was just outright insane. The fish were incredibly active and were rising and feeding on the midges coming off all day long. I ended up with 47 landed, mostly 10" fish with a 1/2 dozen or so in the 14"...

Those posts only have images and that's what Google complains about.

This needs to be either fixed by Google (which was announced, see quote below) or XenForo must add more complicated code to explicitly markup inline images / videos.
But even if XenForo does that the warnings probably won't fully go away due to posts that may only contain embedded content that is neither an image nor a video (like a SoundCloud embed).

The other issues (only image comments and deleted authors) don't show up as much in our web diffs, but we'll work on fixing them next round of updates. These are likely not leading to problems in our ingestion, it's just a reporting issue.

So realistically only Google can fully fix this.

No.

Ah! If a thread has a post that has just an image and no text. Got it, thanks!
