content: Seconded. And yes, it pops up all the time. Or requires to refresh a page. Which is equally annoying.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on September 28, 2016, 07:44:28 amYeah I'm with you. I use Firefox on Android and have cookies enabled (although I block all third party cookies). Saw it once, dismissed it and I have never seen it again.

content: Quote from: Halcyon on September 28, 2016, 11:32:28 pmYeah. I just tried it in Safari and same thing. Working as intended (shows once, doesn't come back afterwards).I exclusively browse on Tapatalk, it makes keeping up with threads *so* much easier than the actual forum interface. It's so much better that I literally never browse the forum from my computer.

content: Quote from: Halcyon on September 28, 2016, 11:32:28 pmSo is the problem on the browsers of those who are complaining about it?I can't just disable Tapatalk nilly-nilly, a lot of forum uses rely on it. I even use it when I'm on holidays and have a mobile device for access.

content: It also rears its ugly head here every few months and would keep popping up on every page despite me telling it that I'm not interested.My typical browsing pattern is to visit the unread topics page and open some threads of interest in new tabs. This seems to prevent its cookie from being stored (and probably also other cookies because threads I've looked at are never marked as 'read').However I recently noticed thatwhen I go to the forum's main page and from there to a thread then the popup disappears.This is on Android + Firefox with uBlock.

content: It's not a phone issue, it's Tapatalk not saving cookies when it should.Interesting about the unread post link. Will have a play and see if i can figure out a repeatable method to cause the cookie to be saved on each visit.
