Can't comment on Gawker based sites

Post by Amaan »

Recently I've found myself unable to type anything in the comment boxes on all of gawker based sites (Lifehacker, Gizmodo, GAWKER). I tried hitting cancel and then hitting Start a new thread, but it can only get focus. I can't type.

I disable AdBlock Plus, hit reload, and voila, I can comment again. I have no custom filters added, and only EasyFilters, and Recommended filters for Google Chrome. Help, anyone?

I'm able to enter text in the comment box without any problems using EasyList on Firefox, but I don't know if anything Chome-specific is causing this. Does this problem occur all the time (for example even when you refresh the page) or just sometimes?

I too have the same problem with latest Dev of Chrome on Windows 7 with Adblock Plus installed.

Sometimes it helps to paste text into the box, then I can edit it in order to comment. Not sure why this happens, but grrrr it sure is annoying. :evil:

I have a feeling gawker did some shady stuff in order to make sure their ads get seen. They seem like the type of people who would do something like that.
