Make forums submit profiles even if "Forum Post" is unchecked
Hey,
I notice on a lot of forum links, since I have "Forum Post" unchecked, if SER sees the URL is a forum post, or even if the forum seemingly has the ability to post a forum post, it will skip the domain entirely as Forum Post is not enabled. This seems to only happen sometimes as I am getting some links, but I notice in the log, a lot of "Forum Post, skipped" and then it moves on to the next domain instead of trying to submit a profile link on that domain.
Is there any way to make SER create a profile but not submit a forum post, even if it identifies a forum post is available?

Why does it seem like 75%+ of Forum Profiles fail with "unable to find suitable URL" and "Forum Post" "Skipped" (I have forum posts disabled, but it won't make the profiles)? The emails are properly verified, SER is able to login. But almost every single target fails with "unable to find suitable URL". Is this just the CMS changing and SER engines not updated to match?
The verified rate is higher if I enable Forum Posts, but it's pointless as the accounts (posts and profiles) will be removed on the forums because of this. On my forum scraping project I've been at 1200 verified Forum Profiles for probably a month, and I've been feeding SER many hundreds of thousands of links daily... and have both 2captcha and DBC enabled in addition to CB. Sometimes I'll have 3000+ verified emails, and SER doesn't get a single forum profile link out of all the targets.
But when I check the logs, SER makes it to like here:
Then it just stops and says "unable to find suitable URL" and "Forum Post" "Skipped".
Example:
This isn't a forum post, it's a profile link. Yet SER keeps skipping making the profiles because it thinks they're forum posts.
Btw, GSA PS is running wonderfully after that last update.

Testing with Forum Post enabled... Definitely higher than having forum posts disabled.
