I swear I must accidentally hit it 10 to 15 times a day while trying to change pages in a thread. If not move it, maybe just make only a small part clickable, like the "download" text which is already blue and underlined to look like a link.
I've noticed some banners have this behaviour, but not the TA app - sometimes when a banner is clicked it opens a new safari page and asks "Open page in App Store?". I'm not sure what or how it happens, but I would love it if the TA banner did it.
This might not be an ideal solution, but don't forget there are also links at the bottom of threads to change page.
Agree with Royce - I hit the section often (usually trying to touch New Posts, especially on the iPhone) and am redirected to the app store. A smaller hot spot would be greatly appreciated.
