coastalplainsnowman Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I noticed in the last year or so that when I bring up americanwx.com from my phone, that it sometimes insists that I use 'Tapatalk' instead of my browser. It will still let me browse, but everything is dimmed. Usually prompts like this will still have the phone browser as an option for those who prefer it, but seems no such luck in this case. Any idea? Or do I have to give in and get Tapatalk? I reluctantly decided to proceed to install it this week, but given that the prompts during setup made it seem like it's primarily a tool to mine me for information, I declined.

Hi, it does it for me too, I just say continue with safari and it goes away. You don’t have to have taptalk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceresistance Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I actually used the Wii U Internet to post on a weather forum a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - that's what's weird though - unlike other websites which prompt me to use either some specific app *or* Safari, this site only gives me the 'option' of Tapatalk..

Iceresistance Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I believe that this is only visible to mobile devices, that happened to me when I logged in here on mobile devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
