ImageBam Detects Adblock, Can't Block NEW Warning Message

[Paul R.]

ImageBam.com has a new warning message directed to Adblock users, which it displays when Adblock is installed:



(You can see it for yourself here: http://www.imagebam.com/image/e3d1dc76897906)

The techniques listed here, which worked last year, no longer work:

I tried using the Element Hider, and came up with this:

imagebam.com##DIV[style="border: 1px solid rgb(249, 155, 5); margin: 5px auto; width: 885px; background-color: rgb(255, 238, 202); line-height: 24px; text-align: center; font-size: 16px; padding-top: 14px; padding-bottom: 14px;"]

However, the folks who run ImageBam found a way around that by changing the size of the DIV box if you reload the page.

So, can anyone figure out a way to block this annoying warning box?

The most generic filter that appears to work is:

Code: Select all

imagebam.com##div[style]:first-child:last-child

I don't get this message - but that's perhaps due to a new feature in Noscript:

v 1.9.9.95rc1
==========================================================================
+ imagebam surrogate kills popups over images and popunders on click
+ imagehaven surrogate kills popups over images and popunders on click

On the surface that code DOES appear to work, but it screws things up if you have an account on the site. When logged in, the images on the "Image Organizer" and "Gallery Organizer" pages don't load when that code is active. So another solution needs to be found.

The Imagebam warning is better than it was before I complained to the webmaster. I'll be leaving this alone.

It looks like they've done a one-upsmanship on trying to thwart adblock users. Now, they even block the displaying of the image until you disable adblock.

Hopefully the authors of adblock will counter this next step in this never ending arms race.

Okay I've cleaned it up, though I did give the webmaster of Imagebam a warning last time to avoid this... I guess we're back to hiding its ads.
