Mobile Users: We're turning off Tapatalk Hosted Images.

This is an FYI. We will soon (later tonight) be turning off Tapatalk Hosted Images.

Tapatalk is a mobile/smart phone forum application used to access igotasti.com. When you upload photos using Tapatalk, you should have two options. One for "Tapatalk Hosted", and one for "This Forum". Use "This Forum", not "Tapatalk hosted". Well, once we change the option you may not see the Tapatalk Hosted option anyway.

Why our we changing this? For two reasons. All the sudden Tapatalk Hosted images now have a little icon in the bottom left of the image. It's the Tapatalk Icon. We don't need Tapatalk modifying our images and sticking Tapatalk ads on every image.

And the big reason is, if anything ever happens to Tapatalk, the forum will loose a ton of images. Posts will not make sense because the image is gone. This has already happened with other photo sharing sites that make changes, and then the images here are gone. And there's no reason not to store them here on igotasti.com. We want to keep our images right where they belong, with our forum, not on some third party server.

We're telling you all just in case there's problems, and so if you see the change you understand what happened.

Tapatalk has made some changes for the good. As of now you'll be able to upload pictures once again with the app.

Hopefully they leave it alone.

We will keep everyone updated if anything changes.
