That particular marketing method has ended my visits to two favorite science sites. It's an automatic "click", that scores hits for the advertiser and pays the site, but is extremely annoying for the user.

The silence on your "tapatalk" topic tells me what I already suspected...

This site has very few users who access from smartphones and other mobile devices. That will change, as we are having a growth spurt, but welding is not an extremely mobile task... Even mobile welding requires thousands of dollars in equipment and a base of operation, so most of us still use desktop- and laptop-computers for our marketing, books, and communication.

Input on mobile access will be valuable, though, as membership grows and the smartphone revolution continues.

They're closely enough related, I don't see me moving the post, but different enough not to merge the topics...
