Hi

I have a forum on invisionfree.com free forum hosts.. adblock plus on chrome used to block ads really well but now all of a sudden they are coming back through, it does seem they have changed from reg ads to ads about forum hosting with them - can you add filters for it? the choose your own method doesnt work

thanks

[Till]

Hm, I can't find ads anywhere on this forum with Adblock Plus enabled. Where exactly do you see them?

[Dylan]

I'm having the same problem with them.
I normally don't see them on the main page or under any of the forums or categories, but they show up in each individual thread.

here is a screenshot:

and here's another from the bottom of the same page:

Like Snadge said, Adblock used to block all of the ads really well, and still blocks the regular ads that I see on IE, but I'm not able to block this new ad.

Sorry for Double-posting, but I forgot to mention that I'm using firefox.

I'm also having this problem. I'm using the latest FF. It's always the blue invisionfree ads. I've been using this forum for ... oh, I guess about 2-3 years, and this is the first time I've seen this. ABP just isn't catching it now for some reason.

Wanted to add: My friend who has a Mac is also a member of this same forum (we are both the only members and are admins) and she does NOT see the ads.

Those can be blocked by adding the following 2 rules to your personal filters:

Code: Select all

invisionfree.com##.pformleft[width="300px"]
invisionfree.com##div[style*="height: 90px; width: 728px;"]

THANK YOU, Ares! That worked!! *hugs*

[snadge]

mmm i get them all the time and the codes do not work for me... iam using adthwart legacy

i get the ads on my home page, sub forums but not on posts

[Ares2]

iam using adthwart legacy

Obviously you will have to use Adblock Plus for Chrome for the rules to work (at least I hope they work, I haven't tested them on Chrome).

After all, this is the Adblock Plus forum.

[snadge]

same thing -> adthwart teamed up with adblock plus and renamed it adblock plus, they kept the old one and called it legacy but the only difference I think is the name

i get same results with adblock plus

here is screenshot of ABP working with your code added above and still i get the adverts

hmmm, seems all adthwart has done is renamed their product?

[snadge]

i forgot too add in my post above that Iam using Chrome Beta and the forum url is http://forum.dslbuddy.net

[Ares2]

and the forum url is http://forum.dslbuddy.net

That's was the right thing to mention. Just modify the rules to target your domain:

Code: Select all

forum.dslbuddy.net##.pformleft[width="300px"]
forum.dslbuddy.net##div[style*="height: 90px; width: 728px;"]

BTW:

same thing -> adthwart teamed up with adblock plus and renamed it adblock plus, they kept the old one and called it legacy but the only difference I think is the name

AFAIK, Adblock Plus for Chrome is already far superior and it is under heavy development to bring it up to par with the Firefox version. I think element hiding is one of the few things that has remained the same.

[snadge]

thanks for the code but i still have the adverts? exactly same ones (invisionfree.com promoting their service) before it was just related to forum subjects and they were removed 90% of time but now thats stopped working, ive tried changing from easylist to fanboy but to no avail??

[Ares2]

Hmm, the only thing I can offer is a slightly modified rule, can you try that?

Code: Select all

forum.dslbuddy.net##.pformleft[width="300px"]
forum.dslbuddy.net##div[style*="height:90px;width:728px;"]
