    I don't want to use tapatalk. So quit asking every time I change links on my iPhone. It didn't do that before today so whatever you broke, fix it.

    I haven't made any changes to the mobile version . . . O2C? I wonder if Tapatalk changed something?

    Oh, and I'm not looking to monetize the board. I know how to do it if I were interested in such. And as I've said before, there will NEVER be ads here while I own it. I provide Wordforge as a service to you lot because I want to, and because it amuses me.

    I ignored it when I could ignore it but the last time I checked it was still popping up every time I changed locations within WF. Read a thread, click the link to the Main Wordforge screen, tapatalk, click the red room, tapatalk, click a thread, tapatalk, click for page 2 of the thread, tapatalk, click back, tapatalk, click the red room button again, tapatalk, switch to the green room tapatalk. No matter how many times I reject tapatalk it prompts me again between each screen. I didn't check WF on my phone today so I don't know if there has been a correction made yet but if it's still like that I'm just not going to visit WF from my phone anymore until I hear it's resolved. I don't want tapatalk and I'm not going to install it as the solution. My iPhone's browser does just fine for navigating the real version of Wordforge and most other pages, I don't want some watered down mobile version.

    It's useless. Less then useless with today's smart phones.

    What OS version are you on? I wasn't seeing this on 4.3.2 today. I'll try 5.0.1 tomorrow.

    It's damned annoying. What makes it worse is that it doesn't have to exist at all, and yet, there it is in your face every other click. Put it this way: if you visited Wordforge, and every. single. new page, would have a pop up for you to click that you couldn't avoid, how long would it take you to get really frustrated? Refresh? Click. Post? Click. Rep? Click. Next Page? Click. Previous Page? Click. Fast Reply? Click. Every single time, a new pop up dialogue, another click, and it serves no purpose at all.

    Woah. I didn't know about the mobile skin! That'll save me all the data wasted on all those inane animated signatures:)

    I still get it every single time I go between pages. I haven't been on WF on my phone since I started this thread other than to check if that's been fixed. It will continue to be a computer only experience until this is fixed.

    O2C, I'm on the latest version of iOS, it's 5.whatever
