Does anyone really care where a message is sent from?

    Mods,

    Could we please encourage people not to append this sort of this to their posts:

    Life is too short for us all to be reading this surely?

    The only thing that bothers me more than that by-line on a post, is when someone posts a site feedback thread into the off topic and banter forum.

    But's because I like you Ken, I'll move it for you.

    Seriously though, it really doesn't bother me at all. It may be that whoever is using tapatalk to post replies doesn't realise there's an update to the APP which allows them to remove that by-line.

    Sadly, there's nothing we can do, except edit every post as it comes in and as you have said Ken, life's too short for that

    As Andy points out, folks can change the settings in your phone to stop leaving that message................which i did for my Droid

    Then do it Ken.

    As much as it's something that mildly irks me, it's not something that breaks the forum rules or even gets close to what's not acceptable on a public forum, so there's really no grounds for any site official to make a formal request of those who use Tapatalk to post with.

    Taking into account the recent "discussion" over the use of NMS, personally, I'm just glad people are finding new ways to stay in touch with the site and contribute to the community. If that means they have a daft statement at the end of their post, so be it.

    I really don't want to sound funny or obtuse, but can't you just.... well.... not read that bit at the end of their post?

    It is a tad annoying but as Andy has said it doesnt break any site rule so it is hard to act on. I find not reading it does stop it bothering me though

    My previous post did ask people to turn this feature off.

    Gee whiz! Wish I'd never started this thread now
