Suddenly any post I make from my iPhone has an annoying little tag at the end: “Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk”. I have no idea why it suddenly started doing that, nor how to turn it off; any suggestions? Thanks! ---

OK, a related annoyance: I tried the tapatalk app on my iphone for a while, decided it wasn’t worth it, and deleted the app. Yet, everytime I click on a SDMB link I get a pop-up from tapatalk. Die! Die! Why won’t you die? How do I make that go away? I checked my Settings and I have no tapatalk app to modify. ---

You should only get that popup if you’ve been logged off, then log on again. And you shouldn’t be getting that from links at all.
