ONE popup is more than enough. Ideally cookie bases, or at worst session based.

Hi Gorman,

It is cookies based and is shown only once in a predefined period of time. If you don't like it you can remove it from undoing the template edit.

You mean this?

<script type="text/javascript" src="mobiquo/tapatalkdetect.js"></script>

Is that the only thing it does?

Also, what's the predefined period of time? Is it editable by me?

I like the idea, I just don't like the current implementation.

That's correct. It can be selected in VB options whether it is on or off, and I have it off so it doesn't quote the original title when a user doesn't enter anything in title field. Less clutter that way. Tapatalk however adds it no matter what. If you look in vBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options, you'll find it under Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title.

This will be fixed in next version.

[yellowpeter]

FYI just released version 1.4.7 of the Android app with full support of vBulletin style QUOTE formatting and improved image upload quality.

[yellowpeter]

iPhone app is also updated to support proper QUOTE support. :up:

Hi you can download the BlackBerry app OTA at http://www.tapatalk.com/bb to give it a try. Currently it may not work in certain BIS network but overall it is very usable.
