Ads Appearing on Sporcle.com

[thor]

The game website

Code: Select all

http://www.sporcle.com

has recently had ads popping up again both at the top and in the text. I have tried blocking the element, but they just reappear when the page is reloaded. I have also uninstalled/reinstalled Adblock Plus. This wasn't a problem until a few days ago. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Ads are banner ads at the top and bottom of the page and block ads on the side and in the text. Chrome Version 53.0.2785.89 m (64-bit). I'm not sure the ABP version, but I reinstalled it yesterday, so probably the newest one. The ads are on all Sporcle pages.

I get no ad, did you check your filter lists ? see if easylist is downloaded without errors.
Also your counter shows no ad

I updated the Easylist yesterday when I reinstalled, and it appears to be working fine. The counter in the screenshot doesn't show an ad, but you can clearly see two ads on the page, one at the top for the Red Cross, and one on the side for World of Tanks. These were blocked until a few days ago.

That filter seemed to do the trick for me. Thank you!

Ugh, Sporcle is again displaying ads, and now they are not being blocked when you try to "block element"! Help again please?

[thor]

It does manage to block some ads, but not all. Even if it blocks them, it WAY slows down the loading time. Here's some screenshots that will hopefully help.

Yes! Problem solved! Thank you!

Ugh...the ads are back. And slowing things down again. There's also a pop-up periodically telling you to turn off your ad blocker.
