> [@Acsenray](#): > > And I can’t figure out why Tapatalk keeps nagging me on Safari for mobile. That’s probably due to you having cookies turned off along with not having sufficient blocking to prevent the nag redirect. With cookies enabled, it’s supposed to only nag you the first time, then it uses the cookie to “remember” to stop nagging you on subsequent visits. Without that cookie getting set to remember that it already offered you the TapaTalk app, it will keep behaving as if every visit here is your first visit and it hasn’t yet presented you with the TapaTalk app nag. ---

Just because it’s hard for you, it doesn’t mean it’s hard for everyone. There’s a reason why it’s now standard practice for web sites to have a mobile version or a separate mobile app. Having only a desktop configuration is no longer what is done these days. If it was just me then that wouldn’t be the case. ---

So, and I just did the steps, and from the home screen of Tapatalk, it took me four taps of my screen on my iPhone Tapatalk app to get to the Screen where I can turn auto-sig on or off. Weak sauce for a pit of the software. Would be more appropriate to pit the users who do not turn it off. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Yes, but your experience isn’t universal. Stop being a Durper. You’re the one acting weird here. You apparently have very good eyesight. The fact that separate mobile and desktop configurations are now standard means that my experience is the norm. It doesn’t have to be universal. If you’re fortunate enough not to need a mobile configuration then that’s what you are—fortunate. Throw yourself a party. ---

> [@Eliahna](#): > > I wouldn’t have found it as objectionable if it just said “Sent by Tapatalk”. I don’t see the value in it at all, even as an option. It benefits no one other than Tapatalk and possibly the phone manufacturer. It’s essentially making people into advertising distributors without their consent. ---

Exactly. It turned itself on about two weeks ago, and that’s why I started the GQ thread, to get help turning it off. ---

I think I may have posted from it several times since the update. I apologize if it irritated anyone. I wasn’t aware that it was doing it.
