The Adblock Project

That would definitely slow down the spammers. I'll look into it soon.

It's interesting, though, that some spammers are able to get around these captchas... I still see some spam user-registrations ...

first of all ... i´t kinda annoying if you have to register, when only wanna ask one simple question ...

is the word "adblock +" banned here? Can't say it adblock-pluz

It did actually seem that some over-eager admin had made word-censoring on the words "Adblock plus".

I apologize for this.

This will give you a button attached to the flash. Press that to define a filter.

Alternatively, press ctrl + shift + f (windows), and click the "Flashblock" text t ...

I just made an upgrade to the board-software. As far as I can tell, your user is created and active. Would you mind trying again? Perhaps you will be able to log in now.

The right-hand scroll-thing works fine for me with Adblock enabled.

Can you give some more info about your setup? Since you say that you "can't be bothered with the complexities of configuring adbl ...

Guest:
Please stop bumping this topic. If you feel it is sufficiently important, ask for the moderators to make it sticky. This behaviour is getting a bit tiresome.

Thanks for understanding.

! Ignore rules and you are banned !

I think Chris is referring to the Object-tabs on Flash and Java-objects.

Here is G's standard-answer:

Tools > Adblock > Preferences > Adblock Options > Obj-Tabs

But a simple little jpeg or gif is, in my opinion, of the class of text-based google ads. Currently, AdBlock does not differentiate between these ads and others.

It's a rather important point th ...

For the record, Guest, Adblock has only been downloaded 80,000+ times this week. The total number of times that Adblock has been downloaded from Mozilla Update is over 2.3 million.

This site has already been the subject of some debate at http://aasted.org/adblock/viewtopic.php?t=1470.

Should work again now. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Tried your suggestion, fdejkmtruds. It worked. Thanks! HTML is now re-enabled.

Take a look at filterset.G. It seems to be state of the art at the moment.

My best guess to fixing this post is disable html on this forum. As for your other problem, Adblock doesn't block stuff that are in the page itself. It only blocks images, embedded objects, whole web ...

Yea I use that same list and it didn't show up on mine either.. Good Work G.. PS G do you have a place for donations? and does Adblock have a place for Donations, cause I haven't seen it.

I see now that they're missing, but I hadn't noticed before. I wonder if I installed an extra pack of smilies when I first installed the forum. hm... must investigate.

I'll look into it sometime t ...

Guest:

You're right! Looking at the text now, it seems a bit harsh. I've now removed it, and hope it hasn't offended too many people besides the hacker.

The above guest is me. Should learn to check whether I'm logged in before posting.

Sometime between Sunday the 28th and Monday the 29th of November, the Adblock forum was hacked using a recently found exploit in PHPBB. The hacker erased all forum-content.

Thanks to the great peop ...

I updated today as well. At first, Firefox claimed that Adblock was not compatible with 1.0, but installing from Mozdev solved that. My filters made it through the upgrade unharmed.

I would encourage you to sign up for something akin to Google Adwords instead of the traditional banner-sites. It's relatively non-intrusive, not blocked by Adblock and (as far as I know) rather effec ...

I can confirm what kstahl already stated, that 0.6 is being worked on at the moment. I'm not taking part of the development, but I'm regularly in contact with the developers.

I think that Rue is referrring to the problem discussed in this thread, which seems to be remedied by updating to Java 1.5.

A big problem here, is that I don't think anyone exept you knows how to properly build a short and effective list. I have no idea what all this expression stuff is about, even after reading the stuff ...

(ps: ***** **** ****)
Rue, I thought we agreed to keep your little problem a secret! A dirty ... little ... secret. Twisted Evil

The idea of compiling the ultimate filter list is appealing, but may present problems. The reason for this is that Adblock works by matching the address of every blockable object against every filter ...
