mmorpg.com detects and nags abp users, how do we hide this

Post by TunaSammy »

http://www.mmorpg.com/

Its got a lovely nag banner now. They are detecting adblocking and I would like to know if its possible to get rid of this and how?

Normally I can ignore this type of thing, but this one is bad. Also the sites admin stated that people using adblocking plugins are thieves and pirates, so I don't feel bad block the nag banner! lol

edit: Thank you all ahead of time!

It is detecting a collapsed element. I had modified the rule in Adversity but it leaves an ugly black bar where the ad from (don't think much can be done about it).

If you feel adventuresses try adding the following rule to your personal filters

Code: Select all

||images.mmorpg.com/scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js 
There is a good chance it will break certain functions of the site but it does prevent their detection method.

Let us know if it works (test the site good and proper !!)

That did the trick sir, thank you! It worked like a charm.

I poked around the site and did not have it popup again. The only odd thing that ive noticed is that sometimes the background game ad does not show but sometimes it does. In lieu of the ad is an empty grey box that is still clickable and working. Refreshing or clicking another part of the site will usually bring it back up. It's not a big deal though, just an observation. All other site functionality seems to be intact.

Again, I thank you wholeheartedly!

That's bizarre, the news tab suddenly stopped working today. Its not that big a deal though, I just disable ABP for that one page.

I figured I would jot it down incase someone else had the same problem.
