Just a Hello!

Post by ACHZone »

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this to, but I've only just joined after having been using this great plugin wonderful plugin with Chrome (and ALL my other browsers including Microsoft Edge) so please accept my apologies if I should have posted this elsewhere. Mods - please move to a more appropriate forum if necessary.

Just wanted to say Hi! and thank the developers of Adblock Plus for such a great plugin. I decided today to make a donation as a thank you for all of your hard work! I'm an IT professional and hope to be of help to other forum members over time, including getting some help and support if I ever need it, though, with Adblock Plus, I've never really felt the need for support.

So thanks again from a very satisfied user from Australia.

Best regards,

Andrew

Thanks for the reply and tip mapx!

I see there is an Off Topic forum available I probably should have used for this. Am I able to move this thread myself or should I ping a moderator to do it for me? If the latter, please explain how I do that lol (Sorry, still a newb) :)

I found it from your link... This one here: https://forums.lanik.us/viewforum.php?f ... 7e6c44479b

It's called OFF TOPIC - Any other business.

Or is that on a different forum to this one?

@ACHZone, easylist forum is a repository available for all ...adblockers, not only for ABP :)

read the rules:
https://forums.lanik.us/rules#affiliation

(so ... I'll not approve your post there - I'm moderator on that forum too)

Great that you're a mod on that forum too because my Hi post in the Off Topic area was just dissaproved with a reason of;

Topic disapproved: "Just a Hi from a new member!"
Forum: Off Topic
Reason: The message contains links to illegal or pirated software..
Fri Mar 30, 2018 9:46 pm


My post contained no links at all, no mention of any software except Adblock Plus and certainly didn't make any mention of pirated software.

What the hell? Nice way to welcome new members! - Not :-(

Can you look into that, please? My username is identical to the one I registered with on this forum.

@Andrew ! I told you above that one (easylist forum) is not an ABP forum !

as in their rules:

Code: Select all

The Site Admin Staff is in NO WAY affiliated with either EasyList or ABP
yes, I wrongly disapproved your post with illegal links reason.

If you want to post a new user post on easylist forum just remove any ABP reference from it.

Now I'm really confused! lol

From the very top of the home page screen at "https://forums.lanik.us/"

The Easy Subscriptions for Adblock, Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin

I'd would have taken a screenshot, but didn't see the point.

I'm truly not trying to start a debate here, just trying to understand. The lanik.us forum looks like a direct spin-off of this forum and claims it supports talk about Adblock Plus on its home page, or it's displaying the wrong home page?

Anyway, the other forum aside, do you have an appropriate forum area for miscellaneous topics/posts at this forum?

My thanks for your patience with me.

Andrew

Well, easylist subscription is used in all the adblockers (ABP, AB, ublock origin, adguard ..) and the forum entitled "easylist forum" is not a spin-off of this or other forum. It's perfectly independent.

When you have an issue with ABP (but not a filter issue) just post here or on the bug tracker: https://issues.adblockplus.org

For filter issues post on easylist forum: http://forums.lanik.us/

Ok, then I still don't understand the problem in mentioning ABP in a posting though, if I had a filter issue with Adblock Plus. But I don't want to make a big deal about it here in my first posting so let's just forget that part of it. :)

But as to my other question: "do you have an appropriate forum area for miscellaneous topics/posts at this forum?" of is making the post I made in this particular thread acceptible? I don't want to be breaking any rules with my first post :D

Please advise.

No, there is no such off topic area, eventually this subforum:
forum/viewforum.php?f=9

but it's ok even here where you just posted.
