Interstate battery ad

Postby Ned B » Sat Aug 23, 2014 1:49 am

This past week I've grown increasingly annoyed with viewing my participated list via tapatalk. The third "message" is always an interstate battery ad. is this a new revenue stream, or is it a hack on the forum?

Yes, I've been trying not to click on it, too. If it 's new revenue, that's OK, if it's not supposed to be there, then it 's not OK.

Ned and Verna,
I guess I will be showing how deep in the back woods I am coming from, but could you explain what a distribution list is that you are talking about. And I have seen tapatalk apps, but I have no idea what it is about.

Thanks
Bob

Verna, so it's not just me...


Bob, tapatalk is the dedicated IOS app which allows mobile browsing of the forum. In one particular page of the list, there is a recurring ad that keeps inserting itself into ONLY this forum (I use tapatalk on several other forums as well), and ONLY in the participated thread list. It displaces posts that I'm following, basically when I open that list of threads, I want to see what has happened, not an ad.

evidently that tapatalk app has an imbedded ad revenue stream available... however it is ONLY showing up (for me at least) in that one sub-list.

Ned, as I said before, if Mike needs it for a revenue source to help keep TnTTT going , then I can tolerate a minor inconvenience. If it 's a bug, then squash it! It's at the top of my Unread posts, so it's in more than one place.

Oh I agree, if it helps then I can follow it occasionally (click through count is how it helps...) otherwise, get that annoyance off my screen.

Now, something curious here has been happening. If I leave the ad on the screen with no more posts, but I pull the screen down to receive more posts, I get kicked out of Tapatalk. When I go right back in, Tapatalk asks me if I want to send a "crash" report. Of course I do!! So I send it ( the crash report appears on the screen as an email). The next group of posts that come up do not have the ad embedded within the new posts.
