Stop appending "Sent from my ..." Question

Not sure how but last week I had to log back in to this site on my phone using the app. Ever since I've been having "Sent from my LM-Q850 using Early Retirement Forum mobile app" appended to my posts. How can I turn this off?

This is a setting in Tapatalk (enabled by default). From another website:

Quote:
Follow the little arrows at the upper left corner of your app's screen, until you left the board and are in your own menu. At the upper right, there's a person icon - click it.
Choose "settings".
Choose "signature".
Disable the signature, or at least remove the sentence about your phone.

Nope. Never found settings on the app. Tried turning off show signitures from my pc.

Dang. That didn't work either.

Not sure as I don’t have LG or the ER app but:
Press Menu button on your phone then settings pops up
click settings
scroll down to "tapatalk Signature"
click
select NONE

Well, there's your problem.

People are telling you to find the setting and turn it off. If you can't find the setting, you can't tun it off.

Focus on finding the setting. Why are you not able to find it, what *are* you doing (you gave no details).

People can't help you unless you try to meet them half-way. Troubleshooting from afar is not easy.

Odd. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app. As soon as I did the Settings icon was where it should be.

Glad to hear it.
My first reaction when an app is misbehaving is to reboot the device it's on. Most of the time that fixes it.

But if it doesn't, my second step is to delete the app, download a fresh copy and reinstall it. That almost always fixes it.

Third step is to call tech support, but we all know how that generally goes.

Thanks.
It was strange that the app had crashed than restarted then this happened - wondered if anyone else had that happen.

Third step is to do a search on-line, or post the problem if a solution isn't found - that often provides a solution.

Sounds like tach support when I used to work. They would always suggest choice #1.

"Is it plugged in?"

"I can't tell. The power is off in the building so it's too dark to see the plug."
