Now is this something that admin are aware of and have allowed or is it something that tapatalk had done off their own backs?

Is the chemical aftertaste the reason why people eat hot dogs, or is it some kind of bonus?

Yes. This is very aggravating. Paid for the Tapatalk app yet these adds are in every forum on xda now?

It wouldn't be so bad if it went away after you viewed it, but noooooo... the ****ing thing is always there!

I think admins done it. Tried ads on my forum few weeks ago. I got money out of it though. Hehe :D .

Why only tapatalk though, not on the xda app nor forum runner

Isnt it on xda app. It is made from tapatalk source? Not on forum runner because no such services like revenue sharing. Tapatalk however has revenue sharing.

    OK, so this was all a big misunderstanding. We spoke to TapaTalk. They had an auto opt-in for forum owners to display these ads. We never wanted it on, and we've never gotten paid for it. If we do, we'll donate it to an appropriate charity. I'll take full blame for not noticing and not opting out. There's no reason to blame TapaTalk for this.

    We don't like ads in paid apps any more than you guys.

    The TapaTalk ads have now, apparently, been turned off. I use the XDA Prem app (of course), so someone please let me know if you keep seeing the ads after a couple hours.

    For anyone who buys the XDA Premium app between now and 1PM Eastern, I'll go through later this afternoon and refund your money. Depending on how many buyers there are, it might take me a bit. If you haven't gotten your refund by tomorrow, PM me.

    For those waiting for an official reply: We have nothing to do with the ads in the paid TapaTalk app. We don't make money on them, and we don't want them there. I am going to do my best to yell at them. XDA being available in the Tapatalk app is actually something that *costs* us quite a bit of money as the TT plugin is extremely server intensive. So, we have the server costs and none of the revenue.

    The xda app has a free and premium version. Premium has no ads and will never have ads.

    Again, we apologize for this issue. The ads should be off now, or it'll switch off shortly.

    When I get to the office in a couple hours, I'll figure out a way to get free versions of XDA Premium (ad free) to anyone having this issue with the TT app. Maybe I'll post the apk here for a couple hours or offer refunds for people purchasing over the next 5 hours. Or somthing like that. Stay tuned.
