MOZ Site Crawl - Ignore functionality Request
-
I now understand that the ignore option found in the MOZ Site Crawl tool will permanently remove the item from ever showing up in our Issues again. We desire to use the issues list as kind of like a To-Do checklist with the ultimate goal to have no issues found and would like to "Temporarily Remove" an issue to see if it is shows back up in future crawls. If we properly fix the issue it shouldn't show back up.
However, based on the current Ignore function, if we ignore the issue it will never show back up, even if the issue is still a problem.
At the same time, the issue could be a known issue that the end user doesn't want to ever show back up and they desire to never have it show again. In this case it might be nice to maintain the current "Permanently Ignore" option.
Use the following imgur to see a mockup of my idea for your review.

Hi folks!
Jo from the Moz help team here, you can now choose to mark issues as Fixed!
When you mark issues as "Fixed" we'll check back when your campaign next updates (or you force a recrawl) to see if it persists.

Samantha,
Excellent. I appreciate the consideration. Hopefully this is something that others will also find value from.
NOTE: my mock-up would only be one approach. There are other methods that might be more user friendly. -
Hi there,
Thanks so much for writing in and for providing us with such great feedback! The crawler is very new, and we're definitely always seeking ways to improve it so suggestions like yours really help. I'll pass on this feedback to our development team so we can consider it as something we may want to implement in the future:).
Let us know if we can help with anything else!
NOTE: Things have changed since my last response - you can also now mark issues as 'Fixed' within the Site Crawl, so you can track your progress as you go along:). If you mark an issue as 'Fixed', on the next crawl it will still appear if we recognise that it hasn't actually been fixed. My colleague Jo left a helpful screencast in a comment below - https://screencast.com/t/sqyiphpjEcr

Keyword Explorer Feature Request
At the minimum, I would like to see the Keyword Explorer Volume Filter drop down stay open when selecting or unselecting a range. As an added bonus I would like to see an all and none option. This would eliminate having to open the drop down and selecting each range individually. I assume features are ranked by number thumbs ups? PS I see the Support - Feature Requests tag option at the bottom of the authoring screen. But is there a way to filter feature request posts, I can only filter by support? 0

MOZ should add a toxic link checker tool to their incredible arsenal of SEO tools. Seems like a no brainer.
Checking the health of a back links especially on new accounts is crucial. MOZ wants to be a one stop SEO tool shop and I think this would certainly go a long way in cementing that.

Way to track public's use of keywords over time in MOZ?
I apologize for the basic question but is there a way to track within MOZ the public's use of my keywords over time? My traffic understandably goes down certain times of the year -- holidays, vacation season, back to school, etc. What I want to see is whether my share of the traffic available is staying steady, slipping or even increasing. Sometimes I'll see a big spike in traffic that I suspect is related more to a general increase in traffic in my keywords than anything else. Thanks for any help.

Does Rogerbot support SNI? - And if not All sites behind Cloudflare are probably uncrawlable.
Hi All, Recently i've noticed that Moz can no longer crawl any of my wbsites that are behind cloudflare. After speaking to CF support, we have come to the conclusion that a recent change by CF to force SNI for all SSL domains is the issue. As this is likely to affect almost everyone using Cloudflare could anyone please confirm this? In the mean time, one of the websites currently blocked is on CF enterprise, so we've requested SNI be turned off. Will test crawl again when thats done to confirm SNI is the issue.
