I've no idea if this is something our system does or something that the mobile tech options add to posts. I would agree that if its something we have control over it would be prudent to have it disabled; if its not under our control then there is little we can do save to wait for such mobile tech to be so common place that advertising with it holds no benefit.

Also - moving to site Feedback subsection.

I always thought it was something the posters were typing in - or at least something they have set to automatically show up, like a signature.

I post from my phone a lot, and that crap never shows up on my posts, lol.

That's not spam...that's a notation appended to posts made on mobile devices. It performs multiple functions. It keeps raging A-holes from criticizing lack of capital letters and punctuation on posts that have been typed on teensie-tiny little "keyboards", and also tips off others that the poster is accessing the thread on a mobile device and not a full-fledged computer, ultra-high-speed cable connection, and the ability to view huge images,etc.etc. Certain posters have a habit of bitching and moaning about lack of capitals, slight misspellings, etc,etc...and yet, they tend to make a lot of misspellings themselves...huh...do as I say, not as I do...

Oh, come on Derrel, surely you jest. I don't know anybody on this forum who routinely complains about punctuation or capitilization. Must be your imagination.

It's definitely NOT something we're typing in, haha.

When I post from my iPhone via Safari, it doesn't show up... but if I post from the TPF app, it does.

I see it at the bottom of a lot of e-mails I get too... 'Sent from my iPhone/Blackberry/etc...'

 

[txtowman]

i believe it is the default signature in your phone that can be changed or omitted anytime you like

Interesting, most modern devices fix bad punctuation and lack of capital letters for them. My ipad does.

It didn't fix when you typed out "iPad" without a capital "P"!

In the case of iOS, there is a setting to turn this off, it's in the Mail setting dealing with signatures. I always felt like such a snob whenever i sent something "from my iPad"

Not sent from ipad! I hate using it. It's the wifes anyways.

Ours is my wife's too. It would be cool if it could sense who is using it and say "sent from my wife's ipad"

I think our 3 year old uses it more than anyone though.
