Tapatalk ads starting in their own!

[Hetfield]

Does anyone know why recently that I remember the ads on Tapatalk start up and sound on automatically. I really can't stand it anymore! The freaking sound of the ad is just on. Never did this before that I remember. Is this happening to anyone else? Can we get it to stop?

I don't use Tapatalk, but I know the sig that pops up in every single post annoys some folks...

That's why I changed mine.
I think it's something like: "sent from a handheld device using a silly little app."

But after Apple changed the privacy process in their ecosystem, Tapatalk locked my app up until I went into settings... with their intention that I allow them full access to my info. Of course I kept them locked out, but they flashed a message about paid content and services and more adds.
It's a useful tool for getting photos into the forum which is why I used it. I fear it has now become much more trouble than its worth. Which was already almost nothing.

What else can you use? I can't even go to the regular Audioholics forum because it automatically or forces me to Tapatalk? I also didn't get notifications of new threads or posts.

I just use Safari for all my mobile forum adventures. I don't look for notifications to tell me something is happening, I just check in periodically when I have time and see if anything I'm following is updating. Plus, I have the Follow With Emails turned on.
Oh, thanks for reminding me... that Tapatalk takeover is a metric fkucton of bullshit. I never switch over and wish there was a way to turn that off...
Just short of deleting the App, which by the tenor of this conversation is likely to happen very soon!

I think it's probably to encourage you to buy Tapatalk Pro I think they call it. Kinda like youtube. I don't use tapatalk much (and realized I forgot to remove my signature when I started using a pad as well as my phone for such). I just turn the volume off if an annoying ad pops up or keep scrolling.....

I just use the Brave browser. Every once in a while Tapatalk tries to trick me into using it tho. I just click on continue with chrome (even tho its actually Brave, not Chrome).

FWIW I've never been forced into using Tapatalk, not even sure how that works. I do prefer using tapatalk on the little devices, use Firefox browser on my laptop mostly. This a peculiarity of using the Pixel 4XL and/or ?

No, I think I could delete the forum from Tapatalk and that would solve it. Tapatalk sucks but it is convenient unfortunately. I just want the stupid ads from starting.

I don't see any ads using my laptop/browser/AdBlock.....I do get them on Tapatalk and with sound off they're only noticeable when it shifts the page to accommodate the ad, and that's been more pronounced lately.

Android will recognize a forum post and offer to use Tapatalk or a web browser. If you have Tapatalk installed it will default to that program on its own until you reset the application settings. I use Firefox on my PC and Chrome on Android with Picture Resizer app to shrink photos by 50%. Honestly, I wish the forum would simply auto-shrink photos. You don't get the photo size too large message until after your photo is uploaded, so the bandwidth has already been used. Just install a simple server side script to shrink large files. It's not rocket science.

Ah, wasn't thinking of that feature of "how do you want to open this" feature of just once vs always....that makes more sense now. I'd guess its just a limitation of the forum software on the resizing thing (other fora have similar issues but maybe future editions of the various fora software will deal with it). I generally will just use tapatalk if taking a photo with my phone....but if I'm going to put the phone pix on my laptop then its easy to have a resized version for posting.....
