I use ABP. I saw it and disabled it for CP.

Well, whitelisting CP in ABP has one annoying side effect - when you open a thread to the first unread, it pops down to the ad first and then jumps back up to the post once the ad loads. Small price to pay to help Kyle, but still annoying.

To whom is your personal information visible, if you were to make a PayPal donation?

Only me and even then it's just the name and email address I see.

even when buying CP gear?

Do we still have gear? I have never handled any of that so beats me!

So when I got home I found out when I cloned my drive to my SSD it disabled my adblock, so that's why I didn't see the white text, and the ads where so unobtrusive I didn't even notice~

Using Chrome Version 37.0.2062.103 m
on windows 7 timewarner wired connection and yes I did see it.

Thanks again for all the feedback, I'll leave this stickied for another week then someone needs to remind me to unstick it... no chance I'll actually remember. :D

Ok, so now random words and phrases are underscored and highlighted. If I hover the mouse over them, I get some link that relates with said word or phrase?

That isn't me! There is a company that keeps bugging me about that "feature" and I keep telling them no.... to me, it's annoying as hell.

So, if that is happening to you, it is most likely something on your computer causing it.... I'd scan for malware ASAP.

Fired up the Webroot and it says it removed a threat. Seems like all the goofy links are gone now. ****ing malware.

I HAVE A BLOOCKER ADD TO BLOCK ADS SO WHY SHOULD I TURNIT? PLS DONT I LOVE CHIEEEF PLANET

I'll help you spread

Is it just me or do the ads make this website choppy as ****?

I turned my adblock back on and refreshed the page and its smooth as butter, turned it back off and refreshed and its choppy.

And I've got a top of the line custom build PC.

EDIT: Just loaded the page in Chrome and its not choppy with the ads, maybe its a Firefox deal. Anyone else notice it being choppy with FF?

Hey Kyle!!

Can you help me un**** up my account?

Yes, FFwith ABP disabled loading CP takes longer and is choppy for me but I am using a dinosaur so I always blame it on the machine.

I chuckled. lol

I whitelisted a while back and today the notice started showing up anyway. I'm staring at the ABP icon and it's grayed, and it shows this site as still whitelisted.

Well crap. Do the ads at the very bottom of the page show up? In theory, if the ads show, the notice should not.

No ads, but I'm not blocking them.

I was wondering why I was ending up in the wrong thread so much. Stopped surfing so fast for a sec and saw the line shift/notice.

That is strange, what happens if you turn ADP back on, surf the site a bit then turn it off again? See if the bottom ads show then.

No change. Guess I'll just slow down clicking for a while.

ok should be gone for you now.

Thanxomucho.

Turning off AdBlocker has had the side effect of killing the audio in select YouTube videos. I t's related to whether or not the video is playing through FLASH or HTML5.

I have a better idea, just block the website to those who run ad blocker unless they pay to opt out of them.

So here is something new. Site is whitelisted. I see ads at the bottom, no notification at the top. However, I get duplicates in my history of the same page I am looking at. If I click the back button, nothing happens. I think it has something to do with Autopager. Right now, if I look at the pages on my back button, it lists this same page twice.

If I remove the whitelist, it goes back to normal.

Blocker still works.
<script status="whitelisted" id="yarip-default-script" type="text/javascript">var yarip = { $: function(xpath) { var arr = []; var xr = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null); if (xr) for (var i = 0; i < xr.snapshotLength; i++) { var e = xr.snapshotItem(i); if (e && (e.nodeType !== 1 || !/^yarip-/.test(e.id))) { arr.push(e); } } return arr; }, run: function(fun, xpath) { var arr = this.$(xpath); if (arr.length > 0) fun.call(this, arr); } }</script><script status="whitelisted" id="yarip-element-script_www-chiefsplanet-com_0" type="text/javascript">yarip.run(function (array) { for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { var element = array[i]; console.debug("Found element:", element); } }, "//div[@id='1412308378175']"); </script>

So I whitelisted on my home PC and now getting video ads popping up at the bottom of my screen.

Doesn't happen on my work PC.

Edit: Also, getting the inline text ads.

Run Malwarebytes (and quit downloading goat pron!). Some malware triggers off from ad code to run popups. There is no code on the chiefsplanet server that does any popping up of anything.

Grrrrr....my kid plays flash games on occasion and the neighbor kid plays with him. Those ****ing things are loaded with that shit. I just removed a shit load of them a few weeks ago.

I wonder what people would think about locking down the internet and forcing all the free loaders to pay for a service that requires compensation for the people writing web apps and maintaining code. I'm sure they'd rather just see the adds.

So my work antivirus keeps giving off a phishing alert and gives this URL

http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/p...rt_lookup.html

My sentiments exactly.

I can see the ads, glad to support the site. But when I'm on my i get directed to the playstore sometimes for no apparent reason...

I clicked "Yes I can see it" by mistake. I see no text about ad blockers at the top of my page. Checking internally...

Finally got this site white-listed. Had a weird problem but all is good now. :D

Austin could you tell me what I have to do to post a thread. Thanks

Quancast advertising cookie listed as a tracker cookie on this page.

I just turned mine back on. I started getting redirected to a fake java update. Anyone else getting that?

Me, too. Started this morning.

For Chrome users, i recommend using the free extension Ghostery.

It's similar in functionality to no script but works for cookies.

allows you to pick and choose which cookies to accept for which site with settings for each(temporary,permanent)

easy to use

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go see if I can block that ad from showing.

okay i disabled it for this site. this is literally the ONLY site i have it disabled for. If there are any pop ups or pop unders then i'll enable it again. Respect my pc and i respect your website. Fair enough, right?

If anyone gets a popup or popunder it is NOT our ad code. Our ad code is plain ol Google Adsense. So, if any crazy stuff happens, you need to immediately run Malwarebytes and find the malware causing it.

Yep.


And I had to reformat a hard drive because of it. It was early in the morning and I clicked to update. Bad idea.


It had the Pepper virus in it. :facepalm:

Unfortunately so did I, now got some virus. I ran malwarebytes and its still there. I know nothing of computers. Any suggestions?

Malwarebytes won't clear virii, it is there for simple malware. You need a real antivirus like avast.(free)

What happens is this.. you get malware from the web (unless you run malwarebytes and keep on top of things), that malware will create popups and what not that sometimes key off from ads or other things (making it appear to you that it comes from a website you are on when in fact it is caused by the malware) some of those popups have downloads that contain virii.

Ran Hitman and took care of it, thanks.

I'm not going to read back all of this thread, so this is probably just a repeat, but....


It's not just adblockers that your change impacted. It's noscript, as well. The only way I can get rid of that delayed alteration to the page is to allow for googlesyndication as an exception to noscript.

I don't have any adblocker but the script is showing up and threads don't open....

Can you try a different browser and see what happens? For example, if you normally use Chrome, try Netscape or IE... and let me know what's up.

Sorry had to step away again...its only on one thread...strange...and I see ads on that thread like all others..Ill try with firefox.


Same on FF...Its in the thread Ferguson Decision... It opens to post 1892 and no further. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

I have that issue in that thread as well - no other threads. I've got chiefsplanet.com whitelisted in AdBlock, but for some reason whenever I go into that Ferguson Decision thread, it pops up at the top and says:

"You have an ad blocker enabled! Please whitelist us and support ChiefsPlanet
Click here for instructions"

Even looking at the top on that page it shows that AdBlock isn't enabled. Not sure what happened after post #1892. I did report it a couple days ago.

FYI - that thread seems to work fine in IE, but not in Chrome or FF.

Actually, I take that back. I can get to the last page (posts #1906 to 1912), but the moment I go back to the page before, it stops at post #1892 again.

I'm not sure of all the proper lingo but I'm on my iPhone, and many times after I submit "view first unread" after opening a thread, the window changes to the proper page, but while it's loading suddenly the whole page goes to an advertisement. I hit back and the page I want to see is there.

It just did it on the "NFL can't pass up on Dallas vs green bay" thread. Went to a good housekeeping page, or ad. I assume this has something to do with the cowgirls......

this^

Mods, please fix somehow. It happens to me every few hours it seems.

I've had that happen to me once as well. Can't remember if it was my laptop (Chrome) or my phone (Android) though.

Netscape?!?!

Did you time travel back to 1996?

HA! oops, meant Firefox. Or as I call it, Foxface.

Rock, Rock On!

I just installed AdBlock Plus and the redirects stopped completely.

Of course so does all site revenue to pay for the server. :( (since this started we are down 50%)

I'm blocking the ads as I find them, unfortunately the issue is on Google's end and they haven't done crap to fix it yet.

Another day or two and I should have them weeded out. And hopefully Google will get off its ass and fix the hole in their code.

I don't know what's going on but it has gotten worse in the last few days. I turned ADP off and now I get an attempted redirect on every refresh or anytime I change from one page top another. FireFox is disallowing the majority of it. I checked the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" in Options/Advanced/General. For the most part I get a bar on the top of the page that tells me a redirect was prevented. I did have 2 or 3 redirects succeed within the last half hour or forty five minutes.

But at least the ads are still showing down at the bottom of the page. They really are not obtrusive enough to warrant ABP.

It's strange because I have never seen one but then again adsense keys off each user individually. So Google has decided to serve you the ads that are causing the issues while it has decided to show me ads for trips to Vegas (what i am seeing right now).

Do you have another browser you don't use normally? If so, you can empty out all cookies on that browser and see if the frequency stays the same. It shouldn't unless the ads are targeting certain IP based on geography. (which would be very odd indeed)

Wait? You have ABP turned on and the ads at the bottom are still showing? Ok that is bizarre. Well, that's good news for the site.

I turned it back off. The "disable ad blocker" message is about the same size and the same delay as the "FireFox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" message.

I have FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera and IE installed. I can dick around with those and see what happens.

Not seeing the redirect in IE, ads displaying as normal, no ad blocker.
