Forum Update! - Tobi - 2015-04-26
Hi folks,
we've upgraded the forum software MyBB to the newest version. It would have been taken too much time to adjust the previous theme, so we've updated it to another one. Additionally the forum is running on a new server now.
Some minor adjustments have still to be done. I'm sure you will find all the hidden bugs sooner or later, but please don't forget to tell them to us.
Have fun!
Tobi

RE: Forum Update! - W3DRM - 2015-04-27
At first, I thought I had logged-in to the wrong forum
I like the new look.
Great job, as usual Tobi.

PLEASE remove the Tapatalk advert that now appears EVERY time I visit this forum on my iPad, it only takes a tiny change to the server configuration to remove this annoying SPAM.
Thanks
Ben.
RE: Forum Update! - Tobi - 2015-04-29
The Tapatalk advert has to be removed via editing the source code, but that has already been done over 24h ago.
RE: Forum Update! - andymorey - 2015-04-29

Thanks,
This morning when I logged in it was still coming up, however it appears to be gone now, perhaps it was being cached somewhere.

Looks like I spoke too soon!!!
i have just done a full re-start of my IPad and cleared all the browser history etc, the blasted Tapatalk popup is still there, please have another look and try to kill this obnoxious piece of spam once and for all.

common, keep cool, it's a free service and Tobi/Egon will handle it once they have some spare time. Remember it's a hobby for them and they already have quite some things to do with server issues. If that add is TOOOOO much, just stop using tapatalk till it is solved and use you safari browser on your iPad, ain't such a bad way to surf on that device

RE: Forum Update! - W3DRM - 2015-04-29
I just logged into my account using Safari and had no problems at all nor did I see any advertisements for Tapatalk. I am running in the USA and on a Windows based system so that may be the difference. Not sure why you are seeing Tapatalk advert but I am sure Tobi will be, or already is, working on the issue.
Have you tried logging in on another computer?
Best of luck and please, keep your cool. I understand you frustration but please don't take it out on the developers or admins...

This happened once before and Tobi managed to disable it at the server end, unfortunately with the recent changes it has re-appeared.

RE: Forum Update! - Tobi - 2015-04-29
Please calm down Ben.
After investigating the cause of the banner once again in the plugin code, I found it and removed it (I hope). There's no other way to deactivate it. However, I can not guarantee to put any more time and energy in this if it reappears in the future. Just tell me if you have better and/or more easy solution.
There are a several users which use Tapatalk, I've already seen more online of them as other users. No other user seems to have a problem with the banner so far, as it will only be shown once and will never appear for some longer time after closing it.
