Bennett Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I don't use Tapatalk but I believe it has its own ads independent from the source forums like MS. Are you using the free version of the app? Yes I have been using the free version. Personally I don't like Tapatalk. I think I will just use Chrome as a browser.

gsxrpilot Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Tapatalk is the one serving up the ads. You can also pay for Tapatalk and get away from those ads as well. Craig is really good about ensuring HE's not showing us ads if we're supporting the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLCarter Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 On my PC and iPhone no issues, my iPad I want to throw across the room, but seems a little better now. I dont mind an add or too but when you cant get back to where you were it really pisses me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooniac58 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Indeed. Tapatalk is doing their own ads. The malware issue is getting problematic though - even Googles own AdSense is having this crap slip through their ad approval process. I operate a few sites and this is still an ongoing battle. It all really crept up with the doing away with Flash and Flash based ads. What replaced them was HTML5 ads which unfortunately get very hard for ad networks to screen to see what embedded scripts and such are in these ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooniac58 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have disabled one of the ad networks today as I got a pop up from my security suite about an attempt to redirect me to a malware type page. While I don't know if it was this network or not it was either that or Google and the odds are greater it is the smaller network. If anyone sees anything happening like this let me know. Again, if you are in Tapatalk then I don't need the report since I cannot control what ads they show. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
