When I access the forum on my phone or iPad I get these Tapatalk popups. It's mildly annoying and could be disabled on the forum setup. https://support.tapatalk.com/threads...k-pop-up.8032/
Is this something that could be addressed next time someone is updating the site?
+1! Make that thing go away.
We're discussing it.

I agree in a way, but if you DONT use tapatalk, then you might not know it exists, it's a great app, the only time I visit the site on the browser is to view an image. I can't imagine why you would visit the site with the browser instead of tapatalk anyway it's such a nice app (despite some flaws).
Tapatalk is really necessary for an iPhone--the forum interface just requires too much zooming and the text entry box is just not suited to a touch interface.
But on an iPad, I can go either way. Sometimes I use Tapatalk and sometimes I use a browser.
When I get a link to something in the forum (which happens every time one of you bozos complains, or does something that attracts complaints), it opens in Safari, not Tapatalk, and I sometimes get the popup. The popup is only supposed to appear once, but the cookie that it uses to keep track of that seems to disappear easily on the iOS devices.
But it may be better to put a sticky somewhere telling folks that Tapatalk is possible than continuing to annoy regular users who already know about it.

+1 please make the annoying tapatalk thing not appear.
Setting a cookie is not going to be enough. I have all browsers on all computers in my control setup to delete all cookies when I close the browser app.
Thanks.
We think we've turned it off. Let us know in this thread if you are still seeing the pop up.

However it may also be inherent in the iPhone architecture if it recognized the app programming on the site?
I use tapatalk version 2.5.1 and I do not get any pop-ups, and never did.
You get that particular pop-up when viewing this forum on a mobile device through a web browser unless your system manager has removed the tapatalk detection script from the server code.
Have you tried just running tapatalk on the mobile device rather than through a web browser?
Also see: https://support.tapatalk.com/threads...k-pop-up.8032/ where it mentions, "If you are administrator of the forum, you can check tapatalk options, find an option named "Iphone Product Message" if you see the popup on iphone, leave the option value empty and no popup would appear on iphone/ipod. Please do the same action by the device you are using. "
