Some weird things are happening on Tapatalk.
Suddenly I'm being followed. I know who boywrangler is, but now I have Gwiz9000take2 and natillaleza following me. I don't know who they are. Then someone posted a picture of Spock saying "Fascinating" to a post I wrote in the thread about the Norms and Nobility blogpost in Chit Chat. You can't see it in the forum, only on Tapatalk. What gives?

Are you sure those aren't all forum members? I think I recognize one of the names.

Also, sometimes people have different Tapatalk names than their forum names, and now Tapatalk has that sort-of-external chat feature that is not really part of the forum and yet it is. I do wish they'd quite tweaking!

I recognize the second person as from the forum.
I also saw the Spock photo but haven't looked from a computer.

Okay, that makes me feel better. I was worried that I had suddenly opened the door to the forum by not paying attention to some setting or another. The second person has a picture with a child in it, so likely a forum member.

Tapatalk catches images in a thread - the most recent pic, I think- and hooks it to the post preview. "Remembering everything I need to do in a day" thread has a collage of photos from one of its posts, the Spock pic shows up in the N&N thread. And yes, any of us can be followed, which means when you post they may get a notification of it, depending on their settings in tapatalk.

I put Spock up, then deleted it a minute later because I thought it was too big.

But I don't have anything to do with Tapatalk, so I don't really understand that.

I haven't used tapatalk in quite some time. Well over a year now. I only used t for a short time. But I recently received an email telling me that someone is following me on there as well. I wasn't sure what to think. Almost felt like spam.
