I have found and disabled the Tapatalk Ads. I have never been setup with them for them to show ads, and have not been setup to receive any payments for them doing so. They toggled this option themselves. If ads reappear on the app please let me know.
Thank you Susan. I didn't mind the ads at the bottom of a thread so much, but the ones that came in as if they were actual threads of their own were annoying.
Thank you!
