I'm confused by your message Shaun. I've not even got tapatalk installed - so I assumed that was why I was getting the message

Same here, no TapaTalk, but I've still got that annoying message:

Here is a screen shot for my iPad.

And may I add for emphasis a

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It is being generate from the Tapatalk add-on that is installed here, on the CC server - which is generating the prompt on your device browser. Once they fix it and I update the add-on on the CC server it should remove the notice.

It used to be a simple popup notification and when you clicked "Cancel" it went away and stopped pestering you, buy they've obviously changed tack and decided to go with this banner thingy now.

The point though, is it should still be easy to dismiss the notice and it's obviously sticking for some people, so I'll revert to a previous version tonight if they don't provide a fix today.

Thanks Shaun, It might be worth noting that the "View" option does not work either.

Same here, it actually looks like a jpeg of a window rather than an active window tbh

Good point, it does.

I think it's an overlay image that isn't disappearing like it should - the trigger to hide it obviously isn't working for some devices/platforms.

I can't do anything at the moment but will sort tonight.

Another thing I have notice today with that banners is that when you go to different threads on the site ipthe banners goes to the middle of the page stays there for about second then goes back to the top, I've also notices that the display is jerky and pages take longer to load.

 

[Shaun]

I've uploaded a modified file that properly reports the version number back to Tapatalk but not sure if they've tweaked anything else in the process (they've not responded to the support thread I posted in).

Could one or more of you who are experiencing this problem check it now for me please and if it's still playing up I'll overwrite it with the previous working version.

Thanks,
Shaun

Nothing has changed.

Wasn't there some change of requirements at Apple, helping encouraging app developers to use the Apple ad system?


edit - skip that. I see now it is a web advert, not an app advert.

 

[Shaun]

Nothing has changed.

Okay, I'll roll it back. Give me a few mins.
