Interestingly, that thumbnail is greyed out for me and does nothing; which explains why I don't see the problem.

Did you follow all the preceding steps? Curious.

EDIT: it's also greyed out for me now that I've disabled the options in the Feed (detailed in my previous message). Unless you set the options up properly you won't see it.

(Honestly, you have to lead some people by the hand… )

I am now also getting the porn pictures. I can understand why some here would prefer to keep Tapatalk but unless we can find a solution to this we might have to remove it.

I am currently away from home but will investigate when I get back.

This is NOT a platform-specific problem, I'm sure of it. Could someone with a non-Apple device please desist from their smug crowing ( ) for long enough to follow the instructions above - to the letter (!) - and tell us whether you're seeing the same thing.

My Android device has different options, but rummaging in all the drawers hasn't found anything of that nature.

There's your problem.

I don't use the feed. I use Tapatalk for both TPF and FTLOP and want to read one site at a time, so I use the Profile tab instead.

I do not sign into Tapatalk, so any problems they've had due to hacking do not affect me as I do not use a Tapatalk ID. Tapatalk merely serves as a conduit for the data provided by TPF and FTLOP.

Well, I’ve just learnt what the feed is for.

Me neither.

<Speculation>
The Feed is Tapatalk's way of providing you with content it thinks you might like, while simultaneously providing you with information you've asked it to provide. I come to this conclusion based on my brief experience with the Feed when I upgraded to Tapatalk 4 and it was turned on by default. I don't care what Tapatalk thinks I might want to see, so spent several minutes figuring out how to turn it off. (You can't as near as I can tell, at least not entirely.) But what you can do is ignore it, which is what I do by using the Profile tab (the little head-and-shoulders icon vs the house icon) to do my reading.

Since the feed is generated by Tapatalk, it poses no security issues for TPF or FTLOP. TPF data is presented by Tapatalk in the Feed, but that's it.
</Speculation>

Using Profile by default is easy (at least on Android; I assume it works the same on iOS) - open Settings, and in the first section (Look & Feel) there's a selection for Tab Behavoir. Set that to Profile. From then on the app will open to the Profile tab instead of the Feed tab and you won't have to worry about it again.

The Profile tab lists each of the forums to which you subscribe. Select one to be taken to a list of the unread posts in that forum. Easy peasy.

Interesting. You don't sign in to Tapatalk. I thought you had to sign in. I will try not signing in. But this is irrelevant. There is no way not to get the Feed on an iDevice, even if you switch all its functionality off so the screen is empty it is still the default opening page (even when it's not set to be so).

Glenn, thanks for that. We cross-posted. I'll try your workaround.

These screenshots are from Tapatalk 4.10.2. I believe that I have the Pro version as I don't recall seeing any ads, but my subconscious is pretty good at screening out ads anyway so it might be that I just never notice them.

Amusingly, those are 1/16th size screenshots. My phone has significantly higher resolution at 5.2" diagonal (1440 x 2560) than my desktop at 24" diagonal (1920 x 1200).

I tried signing out of Tapatalk; it wouldn't let me continue. Confused.

This is like in the song "Hotel California": 'You can check out any time you want, but you cannot leave'

I can't see any way of using Tapatalk on iOS without logging in.

I'm sick and tired of that sofa too.

Its taken me a while to work it out but I am starting to like the new version. My only wish is for access to a 'home' style link as the TPF logo performs.

Hmm... I wonder if it now knows that you have created an account, so no longer gives you the option to simply login to each website separately?

Should I delete my whole Tapatalk profile..?

That might work, but odds are that your account is linked in some way to your iTunes account so Tapatalk would likely still know once reinstalled.

I have set the tab behaviour to "Profile" so am now able to ignore the problem. However, that doesn't mean the problem has been resolved.

Happiness has not yet been achieved.

It seems those of us who hate the new version are not alone: https://support.tapatalk.com/threads/do ... ate.27687/

I have now discovered how to disable advertising.

My tapatalk has now started showing pictures of, ahem, a certain nature. Some, indeed, unnatural.

Are these loosely classifiable as gentlemen's literature? If so, I warned you…

It is not just the Port that is crusted.

And are these shown as being from an account called 'Regina'?

Worryingly, “regina · The Port Forum”.

Ahh, now I understand. We have a Scunthorpe problem. Clicking “See More” leads to a thread entitled “2013 Künstler Hochheimer, which might be confusing some algorithms.

And what would be the confusion with '2013 Georg Breuer Auslese'? I'm not convinced. Künstler is a common name and also the German word for 'artist'; I think other things would come up first before the things we are seeing. And the images are meant to be ones that are extracted from the forum itself, not ones dredged up from elsewhere on the internet.

I would like a 'See Less' button.

djewesbury wrote:And what would be the confusion with '2013 Georg Breuer Auslese'?

Please sir, whence comes the question? ‘See More’ leads to the linked thread, rather than one for, say, a less mis-readable name. I agree that it is a perfectly reasonable German word — but it is where ‘See More’ leads. Does the “full body” description of the wine further confuse the algorithm?

And no, I don’t know what to do about it.

I currently see 7 images that are linked with the name 'regina' and which all have similar content. One of them leads to the TN you mentioned, but one leads to the TN I mentioned. So I'm not certain this is algorithmic confusion. Which makes me worried about security.

Ahh, I didn’t realise that they lead to different places.

Edit: and you quoted before I edited.

I have examined all the images uploaded by users to , of which the worst was Derek mooning. So the images are not coming from there.

Is anyone else still seeing this welcome screen each time TapaTalk is launched?

Yep.

Nope.

Nope, but I didn't get your Apple-pron either.

Following few posts moved by jdaw1 from Large bottle sizes: a campaign.

Are you aware that 95% of the last post does not display in Tapatalk? Suspecting something was wrong I hit 'quote' and saw the concealed text.

Another triumph for those clever guys at TapaTalk. What a shambles.

Quoted comments are displaying worse than ever nowadays in Tapatalk; you can basically forget about nested quotes.

Tapatalk is not optimised for triple-depth lists inside nasty legalese. It’s horrible in print; worse at a proper computer; and pointless on a small screen. Go get a drink.

Good advice. Thank you.

That's because you're using it wrong.
