Great news for mobile users!

Did you know that there is an app for this forum?

Why yes, in fact I did. I am finding the popup notification about Forum Runner for the iPad to be somewhat annoying. It pops up several times in a given session. The iPad is perfectly capable of viewing the normal page with all functionality intact, rather than needing a slimmed down version that would look better on a smartphone. The app doesn't have an iPad optimized version and isn't rated very well. I have no interest in it, but it keeps sending push notifications whenever I come to the forums, click on a user name, or switch forums for the first time. It happened 4 times on today's visit.

I understand that by enabling the plugin you are letting vbulletin have its way with your mobile device users. The mobile app is likely of great use to those who need it. I just wanted to complain about the frequent notifications, although I understand it is beyond your direct control. Perhaps I haven't visited enough recently and so lost whatever cookies it may have set. I'll try again tomorrow and see if the same thing happens, or if it realizes that it has already told me about this. Several times. Thanks.

Me too. I'm not sure how mandatory the notifications are, but I'd argue for removing one of the two sets of pop-ups. Anyone have an opinion which app is better? I use Tapatalk, and it's sort of ehh.
 

We've no way to disable the popup, I'm afraid. I hope that the developer includes that as an optional switch in later versions of the software.
 

The popup might be useful to someone on a smartphone who needs the mobile version. The good news is that it didn't pop up today, even though I haven't visited for awhile due to our Yellowstone trip. There must be a cookie set once it tells you. I do understand that it isn't within your control. 4 times in one visit was a bit excessive, but it hasn't sent a push notification since then. It isn't a big issue, thanks.
 

Couple bucks well spent ;-)

EDIT: though the app crashed after posting this (I am on my PC), I like the look but crashing not good :(
