I was finally forced to convert from TT Pro to the updated regular Tt version as the Pro version was beginning to have difficulties.

Much like Horney and some of the other Pro adopters, I was a little miffed that after paying for the Pro version of the app I was being forced to go back to a free version with ads and watermarks on the pics.

After a little research I found that all Pro users were automatically converted to a VIP account (ad free and no watermarks). This should have been automatic as long as you had a Tapatalk ID. You can verify your VIP status by going into your edit profile screen. Next to Tapatalk ID you should see "(VIP)".
