1: The everpresent Tapatalk pop-up which must be cleared first before I enter SD: my end or server end?

1. If your end, how?

2. If my end (Ipad Safari), any idea why only SD triggers it, out of the numerous boards I’m registered?

NB: if 3) discussion may be bounceable to GQ.

Leo, we have no control over Tapatalk at all.

You should look at the thread referenced – sounds like something you can turn off somewhere in your system.

I’m closing this thread and referring everyone to the other thread.
