    Default Tapatalk inundated with ads

    Another aspect of FPG being polluted with mindless garbage has nothing to do with owner neglect or member grudge. Rather, it’s greed. Tapatalk has added pop up advertisements that block part or whole forum pages. Some ads cannot be skipped or delete, blocking thread posts and access to functions.

    So, Tapatalk’s utility is largely limited to use as a tool for selective clearance of Inbox Messages (so long as tiresome FPG vBulletin glitches remain neglected). Even that is working with less reliability because Tapatalk is failing to display all messages.

    Amen. I also have an issue on my phone where even when I get past the ad, the audio keeps playing.
    It might be unique to me.

    I doubt it’s just your phone. I have sound turned off for Tapatalk. Thanks for the heads up, though!

    The question about the version of software is another issue. Is the site really safe? The version shown is V4.2.3. Current version of VBulletin is V6, which means that this is really old, and likely not secure. Who knows what stuff is coming in with the spam? ...if not now, not far down the road?
