Not the Tapatalk nagware again!
« on: February 19, 2013, 07:51:19 pm »
I am suddenly being bombarded by Tapatalk app popups again, did you update/reinstall this annoyware? It refuses to believe i don't want to buy it and keeps bugging me :(

And can you please disable these damn advertisements-in-every-message-ever?

The "advertisements-in-every-message-ever" are from your phone, look into the settings in tapatalk and you will find signature, disable it or print a space. The popups about buying are not generated by the forum rather by tapatalk itself.

The tapatalk popup is part of the tapatalk compatibility plugin installed into the SMF software. It's this bit right here:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js

For those of you who don't speak javascript, that whole file does nothing but this:

Code: [Select]
if not tapatalk_cookie AND
    user_agent contains_one_of("iPhone", "iPad", "android", "Windows Phone", "Symbian"):
        popup("This forum works with our crappy app! Click the damn button!")
 
set_tapatalk_cookie(90 days)

Here we go again. Every topic I click on when using my iPhone gives me the tapatalk popup. How to get rid of that?

I don't want and never will buy tapatalk. Browsing eevblog using the ordinary web interface works fine, or at least did work fine until all the tapatalk crap.

Yeah I got it on my phone the other day using the desktop version of the forum in Chrome.
