We have a search engine? Check out XenForo. It was developed by a former vB programmer who got sick of the direction of Jellsoft/vB and created a much better software imo. Might be worth a look when it is time to consider a vB 5 upgrade. As for skillz, my mind is a bit rusty on vB but check out the css page. I forgot the proper name, Main CSS maybe, but it makes it easy to change up colors. Find something like alt.header.1(may have changed since I really played/worked on vb), and you can click the color square that is the light blue color that is used with out the theme and a color pallet will pop up. You can use a predefined color or input your own HTML color code. You could go with a more KDE blue, and for forum status icons you could always use the Kubuntu gear logo and simply alter it to be a shade of blue and a second one with a shade of grey and replace the forum_new.gif and forum_old.gif on the FTP side to give it a more Kubuntu like theme. If you want to play with those idea you can make a new theme(based on stock theme) easily or even a child theme(so it will inherit the current icons,ccs,etc.) to test it on before taking it to the live theme.Anyways just throwing that out there as alot of people don't realize how easy it is to make basic theme tweaks with the css page and replacing images. I don;t want to hijack this thread any longer so drop me a PM if your curious or can't find the page I referenced for css tweaks.

"are you blocking cookies?"
I think that might be the case here. The .js script that is executed contains:
function setTapatalkCookies() { var date = new Date();
var days = 90;
date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="+ date.toGMTString();
document.cookie = "tapatalk_redirect=false" + expires;
}
Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

I wonder whether there's a way to force the Tapatalk server-side app to stop checking for the existence of the client app. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with forcing folks to accept a Tapatalk cookie in order to opt out of notifications.

Snowhog found the JavaScript section that checks for the app and drops the cookie. He's commented it out so that it shouldn't run. I confirmed that Tapatalk still appears to operate correctly. Those of you who receive the popups -- can you verify that they no longer occur?
