On Tapatalk, every forum has a picture. Who’s picture represents the pit forum, and why?
I use Tapatalk and don’t see this. It does give me inline pictures in threads sometimes in place of jpg links people post. I had to check to make sure the Dope hadn’t changed its longtime policy against pictures in posts.
I assumed it just shows the most recent image posted in that forum, but I haven’t checked…
Moved to ATMB.

I don’t think it does, for instance the picture for ATMB has been the same brunette guitar player for ever. Tapatalk only shows four pictures and I don’t think any have changed since I first installed the app.
They had to come from SOMEWHERE!
For me, I see the brunette guitar player for the pit.
The guitar player has always been for the pit, but the others change up. For a long time, Great Debates was a walled gardn, seen from above, in the shape of a Star of David. Right now, it’s an old-fashioned accounting sheet. The top two are a close-up of a gorilla’s face, and a convivial-looking trio of imbibers.
The pictures aren’t on the individual forums, but on the page in-between all the options (forums, subscribed threads, private messages and so on(, and the list of the forums.
The in-thread pictures seems to be a Tapatalk feature: if you post the URL to a picture, Tapatalk shows the picture. I started a thread about it a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve been about to start a thread on this for a while. I’ve been trying to figure out the connection between the forum and the pictures, and I think we can all agree it is not clear.
Yeah! I’ve been wondering this too! Is that guitar player one of our members?
This is what the pictures look like for those who don’t have Tapatalk:
Can I bump this? We never got an answer. I was just noticing the pictures changed just the other day.
Does anyone know where these pictures come from?
Mods?
Admins?
Bueller?
Cecil?
Blonde, redhead. After a while, I don’t even see the code.
Yep, noticed the change too. An emu and Star of David. Can someone do a reverse image lookup on them ?
