Awesome @lazy llama thanks. They make it about as unclear as possible exactly what that setting means....

That's on purpose.They make it about as unclear as possible exactly what that setting means....
The tapatalk user experience is pretty good. The site owner experience sucks. But like others have said they have no competitors.it is any better then before with 1001 bugs?
So did you turn off the setting @Floyd R Turbo?Awesome @lazy llama thanks. They make it about as unclear as possible exactly what that setting means....

Even when you try another browser?I get a browser error page when I try to save my forum settings by pressing blue button on bottom page "Save Changes" in Tapatalk
BTW, they really ripped off that Pentax forum. Shameful. Even the members' photos are reproduced in the threads. I'm sure nobody is giving TT permission to reuse their photos. (And who even knows if the Pentax forum knows about this?)
If anyone recalls, they used to have a competitor: ForumRunner. I preferred that one myself, but it was bought out by IB and sank quickly without a trace afterwards.
I wonder if IB bought ForumRunner so it would die off, and not compete with VB's own mobile suite. If they really had plans for it, the product would still be around and available for purchase.Such a shame. I wish IB would open source Forum Runner. Was a very good product.
The main problem I foresee is that the TT-controlled chatroom essentially hijacks your site's mobile users to drive traffic away from your site to a section controlled by TT, and may result in 'vendor lock-in' quickly. I doubt such an advantage wouldnt eventually be leveraged by TT. At that level, they're pretty much creating a social network overnight
Perfectly said, and why I got out 18+ mths ago when the writing was on the wall. They're already leveraging, IMHO, quickly ramped-up with recent new owners.Someone over on TAZ hit the nail on the head
I have been a critic of Tapatalk in the past. More recently I felt that Tapatalk had made substantial improvements in meeting the needs of site owners and reported that in this thread.
However, I just became aware that Tapatalk has been copying and republishing content from my websites (with their own ads) on Tapatalk.com.
See:

https://www.google.com/#q=photographerslounge.org+site:tapatalk.com
The fact that it was announced with little fanfare and then implemented as an opt-out option is very poor behavior on the part of Tapatalk IMO, and that is without even considering the incorrect information in the announcement:

"Tapatalk.com is similar to Google News – it is not a forum reader and it only shows a preview of posts."
Not true. In many cases it shows the entire posts or even the entire threads. One of countless examples: How to tame a Dragon. - Tapatalk
"The listing will always be below the result direct from your site... not considered duplicative content..."
Also not true. I found many instances where it outranked the results from our site. For example:
View attachment 140684
Tapatalk has no control over how Google ranks results, nor can they speak with any authority over what Google will consider duplicate content.
"These are the forums that will have Tapatalk.com disabled, and you will have to login to enable Tapatalk.com: All Paid Tiers (both Enterprise and Premium)"
Again, not true. I was on a paid tier (Premium), and I was opted in by default.
What they can do - but repeatedly ignore my requests to do - is delete the copied pages from their website so that they return a 404 Error in Google. That is the best way for them to undo the damage.
