Browsing in Tapatalk, and suddenly stickies are showing up. How do I turn them off?

Thanks.

Mine (on an old phone) has an option in the settings, called Notices and Stickies. The two options are to always show them, or to only show them when they have new posts.

Yes I upgraded recently and I can’t find that in the Settings anymore.

Sorry, then. All I can suggest is [apkmirror.com](http://apkmirror.com), which will have older versions. You’ll here to uninstallvthe newer version first. And you’ll need to go to your options and enable third party app installation (installing from apk files. Google how for your Android version if you can’t find the option.)
