I updated to the latest Tapatalk PoS -- It would seem now they want me to pay $10/mth to force the turnoff of the Tapatalk signature (the last version we were on that was just a setting).

If things start getting super annoying, or they start demanding money for basic functionality I'm not opposed to removing the whole crappy package. I know a lot of you like to use it, but really, $10/mth so I don't have tapatalk spamming the forum? Hell no.
No.

Is that what is responsible for the damned full page pop-up I see whenever I visit on my phone? I'd just as soon the whole thing swirl down the drain, personally.

I don't see any of these things you are talking about. Works pretty much the same as usual for me.

The Tapatalk popup? It is infamous. Anytime I go to OO on my phone, I get a full screen popup that tells me that I can have a better time if I install Tapatalk.

Seriously.. I just went to the forum on my iphone - no popup for tapatalk. Is that shit happening for you guys? Gawd this app is like a forum cancer, people like it and us forum/OS admins have to provide. I'll be damned if I pay these guys a cent for their spamming/advert tendancies.

At least don't charge forum owners, charge $5 for the app and fund it that way. Monetization and advertising will kill it (at least here).
No.

It isn't 100% of the time, and I don't use my phone to browse all that often (usually when I'm waiting in the parking lot for the kids to get out of school.) I'm not sure what triggers it, but I'll speak up when I see it again.

Thanks from my perspective, it should never happen. Period. Based on the options I've set anyways!

I have just seen it before. No idea if it happens now. I don't tend to browse from a device often. Far too in love big gigantic monitors.

Last contact point is cell. Tapatalk has some strict IP filtering rules for cell-issued IPS, as they get reassigned regularly, and have been abused by spammers ad naseum.

I tend to get the tapatalk popup the first time I go to a forum that uses it but after that first time I don't tend to get it again. I think it comes back if the cookie or something is cleared from my cache but it's hardly frequently enough that it bothers me.

I used to use the Tapatalk app but then they changed the organization inside the app and I got a bigger phone so I just use Chrome on my phone now

Fishy pants should have an email from Howdy Dong about a test account to troubleshoot the double post issue.

I don't get it. We don't "approve registration" for new accounts. Just beat the anti-spam bot measures, and they're golden.

Yea, I think he just needs to make a few posts. I have no idea if there is a way to override that req. If there is I don't see it.

I'm not sure what else they want.. I activated their account for what it's worth, but that's pretty automatic. As long as they don't post links they should be fine.

Can you guys try again? I found the damn DNSBL checking enabled again on the Tapatalk mod, which causes a delay, and sometimes a double post. I think I have it commented out right; but looking for confirmation.

Thanks!
