Adblocker Breaks Volvospeed

[SkyWriter]

"Sorry this page cannot be displayed correctly because adblocking software is effecting some of the content."

of course the content is the ads.... i wonder if it's google's doing or not.

Are you running VS in ad free mode?

Are you running VS in ad free mode?

yes. but that doesn't get rid of google ads.

edit: firefox 2 with adblock plus to be exact. if i turn it off, it renders fine.

edit2: firefox3 with newest adblock plus doesn't work either.

what google adds ?

I never understand 99% the stuff you talk about since it never makes any sense

and as much as you bitch about this place why you stay ?

you don't see the 'Ads by Google" at between the navigation bar and your login status? this site uses google ads for the last 6 months or so.

Oh hush chilled , I'm getting the same thing. Think it has to do with the FF adblocker add-on, tried both FF2 and 3. Removing it doesn't do anything with FF3. I haven't tried going back to FF2 pre-adblocker.

Ads by Google is a link...

[Chilled man]

Nope no adds ever.

I view VS in the View New Posts and never seen a add that way ever.

STFU chilled , I'm getting the same thing. Think it has to do with the FF adblocker add-on, tried both FF2 and 3. Removing it doesn't do anything.

disabling adblock plus add-on under tools->adblock plus->options allows the page to render with google adds (link or whatever it is; don't know how to read modern html/php anymore)

Sorry this page cannot be displayed correctly because adblocking software is effecting some of the content.

hehehe not for me. I'll figure it out later after my work.

[Chilled man]

Someone screen print where your seeing the adds ? I am curious since I have never seen a add here.

That one tiny text bar of ads? I let it go... gotta help pay for the site somehow.

<script>
function blockedads()
 {
 var giframe = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe");
 var bod = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
 var blocked=1;
 for (var i = 0; i < giframe.length; i++)
   {
   var name = giframe[i].getAttribute("name");
   if(name == "google_ads_frame")
     {
     var blocked=0;
     }
   }
 if(blocked)
   {
   bod[0].innerHTML = '<br> <br>Sorry this page cannot be displayed correctly because adblocking software is effecting some of the content.';}
 }
setTimeout('blockedads()', 4000);
</script>

That code checks for the "google_ads_frame" iframe in the page..

This:

<script type="text/javascript"

src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>

Creates that iframe. Adblock prevents that URL from appearing. So the iframe never gets written.

Best way is just to run AdBlocker Plus for everything other than VS.
