Custom domain reset

Hi I started the free trial for hosting on a custom domain, I tried setting the domain, but the IT guys will be out for the weekend and I want to reset it back to https://www.answeroverflow.com/c/1087530497313357884 for now. Removing the custom domain and pressing enter still tries to redirect. Is there a way to reset this?

Solution:

Ok it should be fixed, just had to wipe out some cached data You might still see it redirecting to the custom domain depending on local browser cache...

Can you retroactively index forums?

Nothing has popped up yet for https://discord.gg/modular on the questions channel: https://www.answeroverflow.com/c/1087530497313357884. Is there a way to index historical messages from users who haven't consented yet? If they make a new post, or answer a question, will their posts be retroactively indexed?

Solution:

You can also use /server-settings and "Consider all messages public" if you want to have all messages show up - I need to update our docs / onboarding to cover that that's an option as well

Send consent prompt complains about missing permissions

Hey, after adding the bot to our server and enabling indexing, I'd like to send the consent prompt to the users. I've given access to the bot to only our #questions channel. You can see the permissions that the bot has in our Discord....

Sitemap Returns 404

Hi. Just realized this sitemap dissapeared, is that intended?: https://www.answeroverflow.com/c/595317990191398933/sitemap.xml...

Solution:

Hi @Vero, yes that's expected We noticed recently Google was having some issues reading our sitemap, so we changed the way we generate it and now it just lists all pages from oldest to newest and serves it a lot faster - You can see that here https://www.answeroverflow.com/sitemap.xml For the individual community sitemap, was that serving a specific purpose for you? We're doing a new dashboard soon so if it's for seeing the # of indexed pages I can add that to it...

Retroactive consent/indexing

I realized that the bot is indexing posts created before the bot was added to the server. I assume this only applies to users that consented after the bot has been added?...

Solution:

That question will be stored in our database, but not displayed until the user provides consent

Disable bot responses

I saw that AnswerOverflow includes messages from other bots. These messages can be there for housekeeping/similar reasons. Is it possible to disable that behavior (at least for specific bots)?...

SEO Question

Is there any change in SEO-related matters? Suddenly, my visibility and click-through rates have significantly decreased. Even the platform I used to use consistently showed at least 2,000 to 3,000 impressions on weekdays, but now it's not showing any exposure at all

"kill switch" for complete anonymization?

Is there a process to just go "alright, now, make ⭐everything ⭐ anonymous regardless of what people checked or didn't check? I thought i pressed a few buttons related to that, but didn't get to see if it did the trick.

Mark as solved via API

I am thinking about whether this bot would be applicable in some server that already has its own bot-supported help system. Is it possible to mark a question as solved via some API? I wouldn't really want to require users to use both the server-tooling and the Answer Overflow bot in order to mark a question as solved (and I would also only mark posts as solved instead of messages since solutions often span over multiple messages). I guess the only solution would be to add a solved tag with the bot (or to not mark questions as solved). I assume this would work and not change anything about consent?...
